What's New for the 2021 VW Arteon?

Volkswagen gives the Arteon an exterior refresh and interior redo for 2021. This beautiful hatchback sedan makes a statement with its sleek, elegant lines, all while offering much passenger and cargo space. All models can now get Kings Red metallic, while Lapiz Blue and Oryx White paint is available on the SEL R-Line, and there are new wheel designs. The inside features a new digital gauge cluster, more premium materials, and a thicker steering wheel. Arteon makes it easy to enjoy the drive while experiencing the larger touchscreen and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Which Features Are Available for 2021?

The trim lineup for 2021 changed with the elimination of the SEL. This year, you'll get some additional standard and available safety features. Starting for the lineup is the SE. The SE shows a stylish exterior with standard 18-inch wheels, LED headlights, and a redesigned front grille for 2021 with unique lights. The interior has a refreshed eight-inch infotainment display along with standard tri-zone climate control. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are included. Heated front seats are standard, and the seats are made of imitation leather. The SEL R-Line has leather seats, navigation, a digital instrument panel, and a sunroof. Its exterior has 19-inch wheels and an aerodynamic design. The SEL Premium R-Line follows with a heated steering wheel, heated seats in all rows, and ventilated front seats. More safety technology is standard and available with this trim.

How Much Power Does the Arteon Have?

All trims of the 2021 VW Arteon have the same engine. They are powered by a 2.0L turbo engine with direct injection technology. The engine creates 268 HP and just under 260 LB-FT of torque depending on the fuel that you use. An eight-speed transmission accompanies the engine. Front-wheel drive is standard for most versions with an optional all-wheel drive on SEL R-Line, but the SEL Premium R-Line comes standard as all-wheel drive.

Technologies To Keep You Safe

Safety features in the 2021 Arteon vary by trim. The base SE trim comes with a forward-collision warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and blind-spot monitoring. Parking sensors, lane-departure warning, and lane-keep assist are standard on the top trims. Across all the trims you can rely on features such as electronic stability control, dual-stage driver and passenger seat-mounted side airbags, and side-impact beams.
