The Arteon's big grille gives it real presence
It looks expensive for a VW – and unfortunately it is
The rear seats have plenty of room for two
The dashboard's well-built, but it doesn't wow you
The 280hp petrol version is quick – 0-60mph takes 5.6 seconds
All Arteons get a driver's display that can show sat-nav directions and plenty more
The narrow middle seat means it's not great with three in the back
The 563-litre boot is huge
Fold the rear seats down and you can carry a bike with both wheels attached
The Arteon's huge, but easy to drive
It's quiet and comfy at high speeds
It's even quite easy to see out of
