VW Arteon 4Motion R-Line/Genting With Erik Winter, Again!/
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 лип 2024
- If you remember the last time I took the VW Arteon up to Genting with Erik Winter, the CEO of VPCM (Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia), it was in the 190 PS FWD Arteon. I said that I hoped VW would bring in the more powerful 280PS Arteon 4Motion. And my wish came through - they sent the car to me during the RMCO when we were not allowed out of the 10 km radius of our homes - I did a short test then, and you can watch the video on our channel.
Now that the restrictions have been removed, we are able to take it up our favorite test drive route again, and this time we go all the way up to the top.
Thanks, guys and girls for waiting, please enjoy the video, and share it with your friends.
Thanks again Erik for letting me take the Arteon 4Motion R-Line up the mountain, and congratulations for having survived the ride! (Actually Erik was a great passenger, very cool and calm.)
The Arteon 4Motion R Line is certainly the best bang per buck for a D-segment Sedan, with its large size, excellent looks, powerful engine, AWD and of course that sure-footed 'stuck-to-the-road handling. SST exemption is extended to end June 2022, and the price of RM247k is really attractive.
If you need to book this car or any other VW car, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Our website is being set up, so in the meantime, please

Feels like a glimpse into uncle YS Khong's rallying career with this AWD Arteon! All you need is for Erik to read out the rally pace notes hahahaha
I test drove the car a while back. Still cannot believe this car climbed a steep hill with 5th gear at 2000 rpm. So powerful.
Good also bias to higher gear so lower fuel consumption
2000rpm? Wow
Ill take this over a Merc or BMW any day. Powerful, grippy, 4WD, sounds great, and looks great with a fanstastic engine and transmission set up. Thanks YS for this. Really made my day!
My thoughts exactly!
Same I would too 😁😁
Im sure Malaysia is the best selling market for VW in South East Asia and also this is the best motoring channel in South East Asia. So I think if we ask for them to bring the Tiguan R and the Arteon R, for sure they will listen 😊🤞😆
I wanna live a life as exciting as uncle's when I'm 70!!
280ps AWD is the way to go.. can hear your excitement uncle YS!
my heart is pumping so fast seeing uncle driving so fast up to Genting Hill, welldone Uncle Khong, your driving skill paired well with the Arteon car performance. 😊
Was waiting for this, great stuff!
I waited for this for so long. Thank you!😀
WOW what a cool driving I wish that I'm one of the passenger in the car ...I loved the way you drive the car...great skilled show by Mr. YS kHONG ......VW ARTEON plus the skill driving show by YS Khong really show that VW ARTEON is full of power tq
I’m really happy watching this video.I’ve been waiting anxiously for it to come out. It really make it easy for me to decide whether to buy this car or not & definitely will but it.Thanks to u & erik!!!
Fabulous driving skills by uncle YS, fabulous car performance! Thanks, love the car.
That’s awesome! Uncle YS happy with the car from beginning till the end. Can see the car handling and speed through all the corners was absolutely stable and let the driver full of confidence.
Thanks Uncle YS, really enjoy this one. In fact the best of all and really makes my heart pumping too. This car is huge and it handles so well and calm.
Wow, this car is fast!!!!! Glad to see Eric back.
Wow I think this would be your fastest lap up Genting, very nice video. Thank you.
The excitement in uncles voice, fantastic! Cant wait for mine to arrive too.
Damn, I am addicted to the engine sound & the generous Horn. I just did a little bit of research, if I have this budget, this would definitely be my first option, rather than Benz / BMW. I prefer big size sedan + strong powerful car. Plus, this car is affordable then other same luxury cars in the market. However, I not sure the maintenance & how durable for this car.
btw this is not really a sedan..more like a hatchback with very practical boot..
Needs to be really well mentained if you're buying the Arteon. One of the best valued luxury cars here!
Yes, Uncle YS, absolutely awesome car. And also, with the digital speedometer, we could peep at the fantastic speeds you drove and took the corners, and all these confirmed by the little time you took to reach the top. And yes, please don't do this, we don't have the huge forearm muscles like Uncle YS. Hahaha...Beautiful car, drive and driver. What a joy to watch. Cheers.
Finally waiting for this video Yes uncle YS it’s a beauty and the beast 🔥
I dn know how many beats my heart skipped watching through this entire video. Gosh. Uncle YS is TRUE LEGEND 💪💪
Wow what an exciting mountain drive!!
Great drive and anyway for viewers and your followers may felt that you're 19 once again ! Nice
Honest to god..... i didnt even blink throughout t test..... bravo uncle....
I just drove this car. It drove very steadily. It has a strong back feeling when accelerating rapidly. The chassis is very solid and the brakes feel good. I think the price/performance ratio is much better than that of the 330I and C300. A car worth owning. This is the best car I have tried
Great comment.
Am dying for your vids and am so happy it came out… Now time to save money for this car…
seen uncle feel so excited to test drive this arteon 4 motion.
Absolutely nice for driving 😻just bought it last month and now I am really enjoying to have a long travel
Great choice! Congratulations!
So far so good? No confidence on their reliability
that downhill part before police pondok made me goosebumps. you drove it with full confident and excitement
I had gotten used to the car by then. It takes a bit of time to really feel what the car can or cannot do.
This car is INSANE!!! The grip, the explosiveness... Damn, if I were driving it, I'd have jizzed my pants..
Fantastic driving Mr Khong
Laju wooo, 18 minit sampai puncak genting, amazing uncle, buy one uncle, trade in golf...😜
Congratulations Uncle for reaching 100k subs :-)
The deep rumble (not too loud) of the exhaust is surprisingly good and suite this car well. The run was so exciting and this is the highest speed that I saw Uncle Khong to drive in the Genting Run. Really enjoyable!
#181km/h
The car is extremely planted and grippy as expected but it is also pliant and composed even sportiest setting. I see both of them shaking a bit but I'm sure if in Comfort mode the car will be fully pliant.
Wow so fast ... I also so excited
Video paling best Naik Genting .
Finally! Was waiting for this. How does the handling feel compared to the pre-facelift Arteon?
With AWD, it is a different world altogether. Loads of grip, as you can see from the video.
Good on you Eric, you kept your promise 🎉
The best D-Segment all rounder in our market. It would be perfect if VW Malaysia bring Arteon R!
Erik smiled all the way! Glad to know he likes the way you drive the car, Uncle. Haha
Otherwisw he would not have come along. This is his second trip with me.
The vw guy is sweeting bullets in the passenger seat, Great driving for sure. I just bought a new 2022 myself picking it up Saturday.
You made an excellent choice. Congratulations
Thanks to ur previous video, i had booked mine an Arteon R Line, hope I don’t regret, still doubt on the reliability and after sales though
Another Arteon video, yes!! Just hoping VW maintain this line up. Don't let it die like Scirocco.
unfortunately people will keep buying the 3 series and c class..
Been long time im waiting, finally....
What a blast! 😀
Long awaited!
fuyoh , my current dream car
Mr Khong, I bet you had more fun driving this new Arteon R-Line than the Audi A5 quattro up Genting last time... :) Can really tell from the excitement in your voice... :D Great drive again, I'm excited myself watching you drive this beast... :p
This one has more power.
Considering for a year, I saw the car again today and ordered the car again. It was silver. It was so beautiful. It was amazing. The price-performance ratio definitely exceeds that of BMW and Mercedes-Benz cars at the same price or even higher price. 4-wheel drive, 280 horsepower, 350 New meters. The massage seat, 700W12 HARMAN CARTON horns, the size and shape of the car are very generous and decent. Beautiful and sexy. There are many reductions in BMW and Mercedes-Benz, and the price/performance ratio is not high. So finally gave up. After a test drive of ARTEON, the site is very solid and can run through small potholes like a tank, very quiet and stable. It weighs 1.7 tons. Push back feeling, full of horsepower. Running long distances is super stable. There are discounts for buying now, which is super suitable. Looking forward to getting the new car soon. marvelous
What are the discounts if you could share with me?
@@johnbucis5844 you better consult sales
@@qinchao I have got myself one last year. Just did my first service 2months ago at sc.
@@johnbucis5844 Congratulations friend. I have had it for 11 months. So far no issues other than the occasional slight noise. Sometimes with 97 gasoline, sometimes with 95 gasoline. The overall feeling is very good. Prefer to drive long distance. Really not tired. Quiet. Enjoyed listening to music all the way. I bought this car and love its power and sound system. Very satisfied so far.
I have this car in black it’s rapid, love it
I never seen uncle is so excited like this . Hahaha ..
Nampak a bit nervous uncle... with the VW boss at your side..
u r an elite uncle with vw md himself.
Hai uncle ys khong. Congratulations on 100k subscribers. I'm watching your channel since uncle have 100k subscribers. I have request to you uncle . If you have a chance to meet Erik winter again. Please send my regards and my request. Ask him bring to VW arteon shooting brake and arteon saloon other specs too pls. For Malaysia Market we have 1 arteon specs only. Other countries get many specs. Its really really disappointing. Even proton and perodua can offer with different specs. Why not VOLKSWAGEN do so.
wonderful drive uncle! i hope you already got your hands on the Mk8 R (soon) 😊
Hahaha, not yet. I heard it is around 316 hp
Finally waiting for this thank you uncle :)
Yes with the rear trunk, it is more predictable than your golf R, but may i say the golf may need more attention
I bought this car and drove it to Genting. Amazing traction through corners but off course la I'm no where compared to YS Khong skills hahaha.
my dream car. pls all. pray that i will get this car. ty and amin 😘
My dream car too bro🥺
My dreamcar is myvi
@@troll3497 dah dahlah myvi
@@elbowstancenow1519 amin for u too bro :)
Pray for u
owning for a week. its fantastic machine i can say
Great!
Wah , shiok looking the way you enjoy yourself to the fullest, I aim to get one by the age of 33, and may my goal come true. My next sedan car for family :)
Excellent goal. Are you 32+ already?
@@YSKhongDrivingIt's great to hear from you Uncle YS:), I'm 31 and can't wait to have one, but reality and family commitments stop me from doing so for the time being. Perhaps Arteon can remain on the malaysia market for the next 1 years with Lv2 safety features, but I saw some articles stating it will be discontinued. I'm hoping to obtain it from Uncle at that time.
Wow!!!!
Wow, good job. VW boss is sporting!
Nice
If I was driving this car, probably risk crashing at some of the tight corners. I mean YS was taking corners at 80 km/h and I would probably only be at 20 km/h in a perodua! I was feeling rather intense just viewing the drive on my tiny mobile screen. If you watch on big screen sure screem lah! Exciting car. I think awd maintenance will be costly.
It os not as costly as you may think.
I can feel uncle's heart is beating fast hahaha
Gugur jantung Erik!
Finally, Uncle YS Khong , I waited for your spiritual driving of Arteon 4motion
Spirited, spirited, hahaha.
Bought this car 3 months ago. Really enjoyed the driving. The only thing I don't like is that it shifts up automatically even in manual mode. But hell yeah, the driving is way better than 3 series and C class for its price. Highly recommended!
So far in 3 months, how's the fuel consumption of the car? Impressive?
I’m more concern on reliability and their after sales
A lot of the new cars will shift up; principally to save the engine and gearbox. Anyway when it is time, it should shift up. In Sports mode it should shift up at red line, and not before.
uncle seems very excited to drive the Arteon... thinking of buying one? hahaha
Yes!
Impressive with the car and uncle Khong great driving skill at challenging Genting route.. seriously interested on what tyre was using on that day? if not mistaken stock tyre were given Pirelli P Zero.. Uncle Khong, which tyre u preferred for this Arteon?
I really didn't check, hahaha. I think I have to look at my own video again, on the blue one that came. Sorry, I review so many cars, it's sometimes hard to recall.
👍👍👍
Great car with excellent vw reliability and service center, people should flock to buy arteon instead of merz or bmw...
When BMW and Benz arrived in Malaysia, they reduced their configuration, losing their due value and my interest in buying them. The configuration of Volkswagen's real materials is absolutely excellent value for money! Smart people should buy the public. Life always has to drive a German car.
This is basically an Audi A5 Quattro in VW guise..😁
Wow you drive that fast? That's Awesome. Just be careful
Always.
@@YSKhongDriving I subscribe to your channel. I found it so interesting. Looks like you're a car enthusiast and a racer back then. How old are you now? If I may ask.
I bought this car, without even test driving or even seeing it.... Big thanks to YS! 😅
Bila la uncle boleh bawak boss Mercedes Malaysia pulak 😜
Uncle YS Khong, could help to ask Erik whether VM will bring in Tiguar R. There is a lot of review in Taiwan for that and hope to see it in m'sia road too.
We will ask. I am sure they are monitoring this channel!
first~
Great drive Uncle YS! In terms of handling, how does the Arteon perform compared to GR Yaris?
The GR Yaris, being lighter and with stiffer suspension, made for competition, and a manual, is a more engaging druve, as you can see from the two videos. You can also see the Aryeon is a larger sedan that can do a lot of things the GR Yaris cannot, just as the GR Yaris can do a lot of things the Aryeon cannot.
They are two different cars, and cannot be compared by just pure performance.
Better than BBA brands
You can imagine his excitement when you see he suddenly turns into a eight-year-old in this car.
Hahaha, as if 8 yesr olds, let alone 18 year olds, can drive...
looking at the traffic, obviously not on weekend
OMG.. I love this car but I can't afford it.. Need to work hard..
Hi , I'm curious if u will pick this over the Audi A5 ? Because i don't know which one is the better option since they are both very similar. I am currently considering both as my next car but just slightly worried about the maintenance of the Audi compared to Volkswagen. Would appreciate the reply !
This one is ckd, so is a lot cheaper, so I would pick this.
Hello YS! I was trying to find out which car im gonna get between ( VW Arteon 4Motion R-Line & The New C-Class 300 2022 ). Can you provide me some advise please? That would be lovely!
Hi Carson, please pm me at 0163350609.
I really wanna ride with you
Damnnn.
Forget bout d 3 silis…
That exhaust sound is artificially pumped in by the speakers or the real sound?
Soundaktor @ VW term for artificial engine sound piped in to the speakers. There is an option for you to switch it off. Choose Individual driving profile and off engine sound.
Uncle hit pedal like a rally car.
Hi uncle. Please, its the same price with 330i bmw. Which will you prefer to buy? I saw both of your video, this arteon seems like put more smile on your face.
Additional , which handles better?😁
Arteon 4Motion is AWD, so has more traction and more grip
Owe some
What driving mode were you on during the climb? You mentioned you were driving in manual but I don't remember seeing anything on the driving profile used. I ask cause you mentioned something about understeer and wanted to know if that was the case in any of the other driving profiles like race & individual (if configured). Also do you know if the power distribution changes between front and rear bias between driving profiles like sport, race and individual?
Sorry, just noticed you mentioned SPORT 15 minutes into the video.
second
Uncle YS, what do u think about Tiguan R Line 4 motion compared to Arteon R Line 4 motion in term of handling?
Of course the sedan will be better, lower CG. And the Arteon has 280 PS, and is lighter than the Tiguan. No contest.
@@YSKhongDriving tq sir.yes, lighter is the key word
@@YSKhongDriving Small correction : Arteon is heavier than Tiguan. Tiguan 1680 kg (based on carbase). Arteon 1720 (based on WapCar estimate ; actual one won't lari much).
FAST AND STABLE AS F*** XD
Hi Uncle YS! How was it comparing to Volvo S60 T8?
It has paddle shifters.
This one compare to volvo s60, which one you prefer uncle?
This one has paddle shifters.
Hi Uncle Khong & Mr. Erik, any chance of us getting the current Polo? It’s long overdue and the one we have is pathetically outdated. Big VW fan here by the way!
I think VW would bring in any model if there is enough demand. It is always a business decision, based on many factors.
@@YSKhongDriving Thanks for your reply Uncle Khong. The Arteon is a welcome addition to our range. It brings back some of the fun we lost when the Beetle, Scirocco and Polo GTI got the axe. The new Polo is a stunning car Uncle. It's really a shame we don't get it here yet. I'm sure you would absolutely have a blast with the new Polo GTI.
Can’t seem to find a comparison of a VW Arteon R-line and Volvo S90
We did not do one.
Is this car better than 330I or C300? I watched this video and wanted to finalize it
I think the bang per buck is probably rhe best.
