When Matt put his shoes on the seat back, I died a little bit inside......
same... a bit hurtful even though im sure he takes great care of the cars afterwards
Very unnecessary
Sean Xu It's disrespectful
Emil Westerberg it's a press car, so I m sure he doesn't take care of it.
I guess you show a different amount of respect when you're being handed a free review unit vs working your shit hard for 5-7years for it's ownership.. Nevertheless disrespectfull move indeed
0:01 buying something off eBay vs buying it in person
Kino Zomby not so lmao
Reported
Mjpw cars Cars bruh
I’m joking lol
This is a great car, I don't think it can match Audi, BMW or Mercedes but it's close and I understand why wold people buy it, because it's different, it's not mainstream and showoff, it just does its own business elegantly.
If you want something that's different get an Alfa Romeo Giulia, which is better than the Arteon.
MadProductionsink true
Say 165 salesmen.
This or a Kia Stinger are great, well made, and interesting alternatives. Also sadly not seen enough on the road… Always happy to see one of the two.
What's better this or a mazda 6 sport nav +? I'm debating between both just now. Same price
One of my favourite VW's. Gorgeous.
2:51 NEVER. DO. THAT. AGAIN!!!
Dafaq was that? I mean... I'd break a leg for this.
Thou shalt not commit sin of thy car enthusiasts!
Its just a leather, easy to wipe off
Natalija B Yeah tho the sand can scratch then leather
It’s a loaner
Did you just put your dirty shoes on the seat? Really Mat?
Yankov he is an absolute *mad lad*
I cringed so hard when he did that.
I swear I had to pause at that part to go and get a breath of fresh air
I see this bad behaviour on the train every day. I used to tell them off about it but unfortunately it's normal behaviour. I blame the parents.
Old communist
saw an arteon R Line last week, it was fkng beautiful
I didn´t even see one on the VW area here in Wolfsburg,
but a Tiguan R and the new Touareg though.. amazing 😂
Artean ?
vw unfortunately don’t produce an Arteon R. what you saw was the R-Line, which is the top-spec version of the Arteon. not any faster though, although a true VW Arteon R is not yet a thing, i sure hope it is someday.
@@JosephiGoebbeli your wishes came true
@@santiagocalderon3261 indeed so, slightly underpowered though. i would’ve preferred a brand new 5/6 cylinder engine for use in the Arteon R, or perhaps even the Touraeg R’s hybrid powertrain would’ve been more cost effective, whilst still being faster than the measly 300hp that the golf engine provides.
I really like VWs new design language, even on their new cargo/passenger vans. Rumours have it that the Arteon R will have a VR6 engine. Who wouldn't fancy a growly 6 cylinder lol.
Solomon Tetteh I don’t think they would put the vr6 in it judging it is highly unlikely vw would bring the vr6 back
Millen Rogers they will idiot
Christoph S. Why you calling him idiot for somethimg that is not confirmed yet? *idiot*
Crncug I did read a lot about it and it‘s very likely to happen. In the US they brought back the VR6 in the Passat.
Crncug he is just angry because they won‘t get it in UK
I like this car so much that I went out and bought it, in white; I black wrapped the back part of the roof so it’s all gloss black. I’ve tuned it to 335HP, it’s fitted with 20” standard turbine wheels already so next for me is black mirror caps,. Nothing else to do as in Australia the car is literally fully loaded with every possible extra in R Line trim only. I’ve owned three Audi’s (A4, TT, Q5) plus two BMW’s (5 series and 4 series) and the Arteon is better than both, it’s also quicker and more luxurious. I’m getting 0-60 in around 4.8seconds too.
How did the tune hold up?
Great general reviews Mat. Always enjoy and look forward to them. Keep em coming.
Owning an Arteon fulfilled a lot of my desires as a first car, I'm thankful for having the opportunity to drive such a luxurious car. And the drive is completely on a different level. Due to unforseen circumstances I no longer posses such a beautiful car. Thank you. My appreciation is on a whole new level.
what?
Man I like your reviews, palatable and to the point. Well done.
VW really needs to do something about that steering wheel design... its literally the same wheel as in the VW UP!... just give this and the passat something more luxury looking.
it's also the same one on the new Touareg which is much more expensive than the Arteon :( but the Touareg looks great anyway
Thomas A yes it does. But i miss when back in the day all cars had different steering wheels
I agree with you
It’s the same across the polo, golf etc it’s very good and nice but they should vary them slightly. The high performance golf cars have nice ones with different designs
Actually it goes even further than that. The steering wheel is exactly the same as in all the Skoda models, only the badge is different.
I swear that the Easter egg was actually a phaeton
That auto stopping thing-a-me-jig for tied drivers is why the car is GOLD.
been waiting for an in depth review of this car for AGES
The fake exhaust got me dying 💀
I would love it if the Arteon has the features of the older Phaeton
dude I love your reviews. lots of character and very entertaining. Plus, you hit all of the key details of the cars that i would be interested in when test driving a car!
I wonder why this channel is underrated!! This channel and Matt deserve a huge viewership accounts
Can‘t wait for the VR6 version 😍
Beautiful car and great job by VW on it. Have to see what the pricing in the US winds up coming out to. If it starts at 38000 in the UK, then optioned out, it'll probably be the same price as an A5 sportback fully loaded, which at that point you have to wonder why you'd get this. Still awesome though. This might actually be the better looking car.
Fantastic rear seating and space. Perfect stylish taxi coupé, if that doesn't even existed before!
Great review, as always! Can you tell me if it's any different from the 2018 model at all? Thank you!
That's awesome!
Absolute beauty!
I saw this car in black the day it came out at VW and it looks gorgeous. I have a Passat and love it, this feels like a cooler version of that!
Great video!
We was 🤏 this close to getting the R line today . Stunning motor inside out
The picture on the phone is a Phaeton not a CC!!!
Eventhough the interior looks like the passat, I think it's really nice and beautiful.
One of my favorite VolksWagen car :)
I think it would be useful if you added safety information into your reviews ncap ratings, number of airbags, crumple zone length etc. Excellent review none the less
I watch Matt's videos to relax.
2:20 i see what you did there, although it was actually "wax on, wax off" :) Great review, as always!
On Car Throttle, I heard that VW might be working on a 400 hp VR6 powered R version of this car, but the article also said that it would be unlikely to be sold in the UK due to “a variety of reasons.”
*And those reasons would include what?*
Good rival for stinger gt tbh 😔
We don’t mention the devil’s name on this channel.
Nah too much smoke
Yudha Bagaskara No it’s not. Stinger is proper front engine, rear wheel drive/all wheel drive not this blingy Passat pile with its engine mounted sideways and a front-biased awd system
Reasons? You Brits like super boring things like a 0.8 litre 3 cylinder in a two tonne sedan.
The scaled down Arteon looked beautiful!
Great review and glad Alan Partridge is working again..😄
Yes you ae right...I went to VW show room and saw it from inside looks like Passat and materials in some areas I didn't like it compared with price. But Engine and it's economy for petrol consumption compared with it's powerful I think they succeed with this point and failed in cabinet material choosing and design.
07:03 demonstration cracked me up!
Couldn't be more proud !
Hi Mat! nice VID!
That was VW Phaeton on the screen on the phone in the boot 🤷🏼♂️ not the CC! Cmon Mat!
Looks so sharp I could cut my finger on it!
Loving my 2.0TFSI Elegance. Have been running for 4 months, can't fault it. Highly recommended. yes the A5 looks more special inside but is not as big and more expensive.
Hey hello mat ; how was the uk based suzuki baleno's build quality ? Is it good enough acccording to todays standerds ???
Are there any plans on doing a review of the new Renault Megan RS? A head to head with the other hot hatches would also be a massive bonus.
6:22 - someone's tractor just started up? Pretty damn clattery
Can you please do a head to head between the Arteon, Skoda Superb Hatchback and Ford mondeo? I’d love to see it as I think the Superb would win but I want to know what you think. Fantastic review as always.
Please make a review on VW Passat and VW Jetta 2019/2020
The looks make up for every Single fault this car has. It just looks absolutely amazing. Also I think the interior design is really nice, it reminds me a bit of the Mercedes s class.
Pretty amazing!
Excellent, as always.
you are the best !!!! Can you please make a video review with the bmw x4 pleaseeeee
I'm getting deja vu
The rear makes me think of a C63
You mean a c180 🤦🏻♂️
the whole car is copied after renault talisman
Where’d you get that model at the start of the video?? I love it!!
9:26 - anyone noticed the window moves down a centimeter when opening the door. Doing this wont let him break the window when closing the door. Its also better closed when its raining.
I remember sitting down in one about a month ago in a VW dealership and thinking that it's cool until I realised that it's a Passat on the inside. I have no idea where VW is going with this, but Arteon and T-Roc are so damn overpriced. I swear that 10 year old cars had less plastics in the interior.
Adam K The interior is so bland and pathetic. I was expecting more from such a cool exterior. Hard plastic everywhere and no clever storage.
Yeah... Its like the interior is 2 generations behind than the exterior.
That is what the previous CC was. Basically, just a 'sexed up' body Passat Coupe.
Vw almost managed to draw me in with the T-Roc as a family car. Until I realised that although the base model is not too badly priced, any form of improvement or things you will want and you come up to Tiguan money. Needs to be cheaper to actually have a place in the line.
Those 10 year old cars also have the Arteon's engine size and horsepower, right?
Hey Carwow, didn't you have a review of this car?
Jeruelle Apigo nah in depth review vs normal review (old one)
frameless windows 👍
Handsome styling!
I would Consider it!
That’s a Phaeton in the boot not a CC Mat!
I was about to say that.
Phaeton? it's the same chasiss as passat, has the same interior. phaeton was based on a audi a8
Boris BB Pretty sure Phaeton was not on the same platform as Passat. It definitely had a completely different interior too
alexaescht the Phaeton was a full size limo to rival the s-class the passat is c-class rival and the arteon is a cla-class rival
fifia lpo Arteon is not a CLA rival. CLA is two sizes smaller!!
" expensive for a VW" well Mat wait for the new Touareg, you haven't finished to complain about the prices... and btw the car we can see on that phone is a Phaeton (which was about 100000 £, so expensive for a VW isn't it) not a CC.
Those 2.0 TDI's are still loud as hell. At least it isn't as bad inside. Still, great if slightly dull car. Great review, Carwow!
OMG I saw black out version of this car yesterday and the car looks so aggressive and gangsta like! Bloody love it, guys look out for the black ones of these on the streets, they look so much better in the flesh! I legit want one!
I'd upgrade the shoes mate, the 80's want those back....🙄
My family has had the Arteon r-design 240 hp diesel for about a month now . It's a great car i tell you. We are so happy with it. Sleek but still spacious and real eye catcher!
imgur.com/a/j683Vy5
I saw this car the other day driving around Northampton. Looks good
loves his snowboards this lad
I need that model car!!!
How good are 360 camera on night?? Anyone pls
just ordered mine 70plate mate cant wait for this beauty switching from jaguar xf to arteon :D
I might just get it for that hand gesture sound effects
Do the fake exhausts ruin the design for everyone or is that just me? What’s wrong with a single real tailpipe?
A true petrol-head and it still looks cheap ass today
Exactly. Same idiocy on facelifted Golf and many Mercedes-Benz cars.
I don't like them at all too... I mean no shown exhaust pipe (totally hidden) is fine with me, but fake ones... hate em... it's a no-go for my taste...
A true petrol-head with which statement did I disrespect anyones opinion? By stating my own one?
My statement may be a strong one but I stand by it and I don't mind that other people like the fake exhaust pipes. The thing is that I really really dislike dishonest/fake things. That's why I prefer textile seats to fake leather ones, a real tiny and ugly exhaust pipe to shiny, big, sporty fake ones... and that's just my opinion. Moreover, it seems that there are more people like you than me, otherwise we wouldn't see this on that many cars.
How many of you guys like the Volkswagen Arteon 2018
Like = Yes
Comment = No...
Tanu N Prabhu Arteno?
Reported
Meh
yes I like it. I did it right, right?
Christian mrclep yup
Great review as always... shoes or no shoes on the seat, mats choice.
Other funny but comprehensive report..thanks mate..
VW making a new car to compete with an Audi?
I mean, VW making a new car to compete with another VW?
Illusion of choice
What VW is the A5 sportback based on then?
Espen its not based on a vw the original commenter meant that audi belongs to vw so they make themself competition. thats half way right. if u then see that audi uses the mlb platform for all cars from a4 to a8 and this platform uses alot of parts from the mqb then yes i can understand the original commenters intention
I know, my point is that people tend to say that Audis are just expensive VWs (which is kinda true to some degree for a1, a3, tt and most of their crossovers) but a4 and up have different platforms, more engine options, completely different 4wd system and longitudinal instead of transversly mounted engines.
Espen well like i said the mlb platform wich is used for the a4/a5/q5/a6/a7/a8 with the longitudal engine (thats what the l in mlb stands for) still uses many parts from the mqb platform ( the one with the horizontal engine). so maybe u drive an a6 but there will still be electronics, shocks or brakes ised from a vw golf for example. for the normal customer this might be completely irrelevant but an informed customer might be not so pleasently surprised if u tell him his a8 uses the same platform as an a4, uses almost the same engine range as an a6 with same transmissions that are in an vw arteon as well with brake calippers from a passat. just an example but u get the idea
Kia Stinger
Saw one of these the other day in a browny red, looked really smart. Way better than the equivalent BMW or Audi imo
I've been trying to comment on your videos of catching review I love u and your videos
Did he just put his feet on the the seat in front 😨
2:51 lmao , Volkswagen are you watching ? Das Auto
That model also has head up display because I can see the HUD screen glass.
The arteon in person is gorgeous
why did you put the shoes on the back of the seat, that is just childish
interior looks 1:1 like the superb 3's. that's where VW went wrong with the Arteon imo: they're trying to get in on premium sales, but once you sit inside the car it looks very much like a generic Passat or Skoda - which they are fine cars with practical interiors, but certainly not luxurious or special by any means.
But it's fast and looks cool
@@dragospahontu the Arteon has the Passat engine, LOL. that's precisely why it's such a dud really. paying a premium price for a ever so slightly more extravagant exterior, but otherwise no improvement over the Passat or Superb.
Love your videos
Matt you are looking so funny while using gesture system of this car.
Perfect car for new 2018 FakeTaxi 🤣
nameless guy dont worry alot more know and didnt like the joke lol
Pervert
@@watchesandcaps2566 how would you know what it means then
@@albertweedsteinthethuggeni7797 because I'm also a pervert.
It's been 3 days and keep wondering how JK Rowling made "Tom Marvolo Riddle" scrabbled to "I am Lord Voldemort" when it's obviously supposed to be "MR. Tom A Dildo Lover"
Not sure I would buy this car but ABSOLUTELY enjoyed the video.
No more tab on intro... ! You are the best!
Because it`s new car model :)))
frankly I find many of these commentators are rather biased including this gentleman.. habitually favoring certain brands.. one wonder if any hidden benefits distorting the market views...???
Anyone in the market for this kind of car and buys this over an A5 is deluded...
Eh some people might consider this style over the A5. I don't, but someone will.
Jack 1, I’d rather go for this over the A5. Why? Because of these reasons:
1. I like this exterior design AND interior layout more than the A5.
2. The Audi A5 is too mainstream here in Melbourne, I haven’t yet seen 1 Arteon though.
Death Of Cricket the Audi is just better
Death Of Cricket You don’t care at all about the fact A5 is on a far superior platform than Arteon with far more sophisticated suspension geometry and the engine mounted the correct way around?
Audi a5 is less practical, its a cramped sporty car, rear leg room isnt that great, and options for audi are waaaay pricier while this gets alot as just standard. Main purpose for this car will be families and businessmen who like sporty coupeish style in a lower price segment but dont want to sacrifice practicality. This car inside is maybe even big as the A7, but is half the price. Everything about this car is great, it offers everything better than its competitors.. but ofcourse lets be honest it could be a spaceship for that money and it wont deny the fact that its a VW and not an audi. So each to their own, i guess time will show if it will find its customers.
I had the previous CC VR6 4Motion. It was a great car and had more stock 'luxury' than our BMW and E classes. Unfortunately, a drunk in a pickup truck totaled it.
2:51 OK, that made me angry...
Don't like it. Every time I see one in the wild all I think is somebody paid a lot for slightly nicer looking Passat. Remember Phaeton? Now *that* was a posh volkswagen done well.
Leuff it was a disaster overall though. Go have a look on UA-cam for any more than a few years ago.
too expensive when new
That was fun
Matt ! brilliant as always. Please could you let us know your personal favourite car (Maybe between three or four price brackets or different utilities, ie: Your personal, SUV/MPV/Student Hatch-back/sports car etc...) really dig the reviews and would be rad to see what you enjoy personally to give us some perspective ;) Love CARWOW. Wish I could be involved somehow. Anyways, how’s a capital markets lad going to get into tech and cars? Keep the vids coming. This is going to be bigger than Top Gear and any other random spin offs. Cheers.
Why would VW want to make a car to compete with Audi, when they already own Audi?
