I really like these Arteon's. It's basically the evolution of what the CC used to be. It'd be nice if they put the VR6 in these. They did a 2017 CC VR6 R-line Wolfsberg edition that was 4Motion but it was only in canada. very nice car
I agree they are so dope. I want them to put a powerful engine in it like the new Touareg R has...that thang pushing like 460hp. We ain't got the Passat no more after 2023 I think. They need to gone ahead and make a Passat similar priced version of the Arteon and more premium versions like this one. Fill the gap some how.
@@farcodes I actually changed my mind at the last min and bought a brand new tiguan instead. Which I really love. I think I made the right choice, although I did love this car too.
@@daniellewert6864 that sounds pretty good too. I'm a bit biased towards the arteon, I really love it. I own a CC now and arteon seems like the logical next step in my case haha, wouldn't mind a tiguan either haha
Cause its German engineering that's why I love the Volkswagen family and I love my job working at Volkswagen and having the opportunity to drive one of these
I’ve had this car for a month and just found the coin box after rewatching this video lol. Also this video is the one that sold me on the arteon, thanks for the great review !
@@vwguru is there a reason why VW USA don't market Arteon enough? I understand its a niche product but even right now at vw.com there is no mention of 2021 model but still 2020 model is showing. Why they don't market it? No wonder it under sell.
Lovely and amazing. It is like an Audi A7 with nearly half price. I think it should take a bigger market share from Mercedes E Class & BMW 5 series globally. Thanks for the video review.
Great video, your detail and presentation is as good or better than some pros reviewers out there. I would buy from you if I lived in the area! While, I can't afford a 2021, I'm hoping this new car will push current owners to sell their cars so that more used Arteon are on the market. I see an R Line model in Atlantic Blue Metallic color with black Rosario 20" wheels. I'll also have the window trim and lower chrome blacked out.
Hey Reese, funny thing is I am a car salesman at Nissan here in Harvey, La and I fell in love with the Arteon just from watching your videos. Thanks I just purchased me a pre-owned 2021 sel p RLine I’m waiting for it to come in. My only question is you said that the puddle lights are standard in the Arteon Premium but my manufactured sticker does not show it anywhere so my question is. Do the puddle lights show up as a package in the window sticker?
At the time of that video I thought that they were hoping to be standard. Unless the window sticker says otherwise, they are not a standard option. That video was the first of the Arteons with puddle lights
This vehicle is very comparable to the Audi A7. I am definitely going to purchase one summer 2021. I have never owned a VW. This car will change my mind.
Hey buddy. How the heck did you get the speed limit sign to show in the digital cockpit? It shows on the navigation and the main screen, but when I flip the map to the digital cockpit it disappears.
@@vwguru Thanks a lot for the quick reply. However I don't see that menu in any settings in my car. I have an appointment at the dealership Tuesday morning and I'll add this to my list of concerns to address. Thanks again.
@@vwguru I think I figured it out. It uses a front camera to do this, which the base SE doesn't have. VW could have at least used the info from the built in navigation when using the navigation on the digital cockpit.
Tail lights are the same as pre-facelift model, different from 2021 European Arteon. That's probably due to US regulations banning the progressive turn signal.
Have a '19 SEL Premium R-Line with only 8k miles and I still want to trade for '21 because of the subtle changes you point out! BTW, awesome overall car...got 40 mpg driving from Phoenix to Los Angeles. Audi power, performance, styling and comfort, VW price.
What other car can you get with all these options loaded like this for 48K? Needless to say you probably can get it for 45k because no one pays sticker price anymore. I'll Wait????
This won't sell any better than the 2020 model. Too much money for too little car considering what you can buy from the competition for the same or lower $$$....
Such a sexy car!
Underpowered..needs the euro version with 320hp..
I really like these Arteon's. It's basically the evolution of what the CC used to be. It'd be nice if they put the VR6 in these. They did a 2017 CC VR6 R-line Wolfsberg edition that was 4Motion but it was only in canada. very nice car
Needs 300hp and a DSG.
@@MikeMUFC91 The VR6 had around 276HP. With a little tweaking easily over 300HP.
I watched this with my jaw hanging open. VW ain’t playing with y’all, my goodness. I gotta get an Only Fans caz I GOTTA have one of these.

Going to pick mine up at 3pm today. Been watching videos all morning of them.
Congratulations!
Congrats. Enjoy it to the max and drive safely.
sweet! how's the car?

Seems like as of right now this is the only 2021 Arteon review for the American market. It looks so much better than the 2020
I agree!
Thanks for the ambiance lights review 😭 finally someone covered it on UA-cam
No problem!!
Alright, Reese, you sold me when you showed the interior ambient LED lights.
I literally NEVER seen this car on the road. It's a great looking car, idk why.
Because unfortunately they do not lease well and go for the same monthly payment as nicely equipped Audi A5
I’ve seen maybe 3 here in Atlanta
Cause its German engineering that's why I love the Volkswagen family and I love my job working at Volkswagen and having the opportunity to drive one of these
I live in St.Louis, I saw one at Schnucks around Christmas time, the Lindell location. I also saw one parked at a home about a week ago.
I’ll take this VW over every Honda, Toyota, and Kia out there. Fantastic car and don’t see 10 of them every day. 😊
Beautiful !
I’ve had this car for a month and just found the coin box after rewatching this video lol. Also this video is the one that sold me on the arteon, thanks for the great review !
Thank you for watching! Be sure to subscribe!
Great video Reese, I from Mexico and I can't stop watching your videos, they are so good. Sad that VW doesn't bring the Arteon to my county.
Wow. Thank you! Glad that you enjoy them!
Man this guy makes me feel excited about this car lol good job
Thank you!
Beautiful car. I see one of these in my future. Thanks for the sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I got mine last Sunday exactly the same and love it :-)
Congratulations!
Arteon shooting brake is beautiful.
Beautiful unit.
Great review Reese. Thanks for showing ambient lighting. Absolutely gorgeous car 👍
Thank you! I aim to please!

Dream car! You did such a great video! I’ll have to keep you in mind when I make my dream come true one day 🙏
I will be here!
Excellent review of the car. I’ve watched this video a couple of times and I’m picking up a silver SEL P this week.Thanks for the info
Pyrite Silver on this car is fantastic.
This is niceeeeee!
Beautiful car! Great review, Reese.
Thank you!
Beautiful vehicle!
It sure is!
That thing is beautiful.
Yes it is!
Bro this just won me over mustang, audi, atlas cross sport!!!! Oml thank you
Lovely and amazing. It is like an Audi A7 with nearly half price. I think it should take a bigger market share from Mercedes E Class & BMW 5 series globally. Thanks for the video review.
Stunning car!!
Time for an upgrade for real!!
Agreed!

Thank you! And remember you can always travel to purchase. Fly in, drive out.
Great video, awesome car! Ambient lighting is next level. Any idea if there'll be something similar on Atlas Cross Sport SEL Premium?
No idea . We won't know until there is a 2022 order guide.
Great review 👍🏼
Thank you!
wanted a gli authobahn now i want this awd and 2.0 my godddd and the interior is perfect in my opinion
It is beautiful!
This is a nice video with good details for reference!
Btw, is this video record but Galaxy Note series?
Thank you! It was a Galaxy S8.
Excellent job VW.
We agree!
This car is beautiful....
It is!
Awesome Vehicle Volkswagens Audi VERY NICE
They are cousins!
Damn that is gorgeous. Hmmmm....
Yo this car makes me blush
Driving a 2020 Jetta now but this will be my next car!
Come get one!
Great overview!! Good job! Is it okay to use regular 87 octane gas in this car? I see premium is recommended......
You can use regular gas, but Premium is best.
What u recording with?
iPhone 6?

I actually corrected that statement when I went over the window sticker.
@@vwguru Yea I seen it last minute sorry I didn’t come back and delete the question. One last question. Do the usb c ports come in all 2021 SELP?
I just bought one yesterday 😀
Congratulations!
Ok il get this bad boy used.. So talk to me about reliability in 3 or 4 years. Cool review.
Nice car, but it's unfortunate that VW.com doesn't have the 2021 Arteons, just the 2020 models. Anyone know when the site will be refreshed?
I want this so bad but I got a 19 Honda
I need this car
Good one to have.
i bought this specific car!
This vehicle is very comparable to the Audi A7. I am definitely going to purchase one summer 2021. I have never owned a VW. This car will change my mind.
Good choice!
Is the ambient lighting bright like it is in the Jetta Gli/SEL?
BETTER. MUCH BETTER! 30 colors too!
Damnnnnnnn
IKR
Its so dam sexy
When’s the Tiguan gonna come with interior lights in the US?
No idea.
@@vwguru Coolest feature we don’t have.
The door light is kinda cringe, but the car is 💙💙🤤🤤
Does the Atlas Cross Sport or Atlas have color changing ambient lighting as well?
No, only a single color in SELP on 2020s, and SEL and SELP on 2021s
Thank you👍🏽
Is it available in the Middle Eastern market?
I am not sure. I think I HAVE seen it available for sale in Dubai.
Very nice I’ll trade it for my Audi A4/ IQ lights?
Its a very nice car
@@hiiiofficial8306 Yes, it is
Why its so lifted??
Totally forgot about this car when I got my Giulia. FAK!
No worries, we will make more!
I'm watching this video in my vw cc 3.6l
That's awesome! I wish the Arteon had a V6.
@@vwguru That's what I was "screaming" for! If I had the resources I would definitely do a engine swap. A VR6 for sure would complete this vehicle.
Dang the Golf got a bigger glovebox
You are correct.
Time to upgrade the CC 😉
Come on out!
Volkswagen showed out
so it does have the full width led in the front grill
Yes it does.
Hey buddy. How the heck did you get the speed limit sign to show in the digital cockpit? It shows on the navigation and the main screen, but when I flip the map to the digital cockpit it disappears.
Turn on Dynamic Road Sign Display in vehicle settings on the radio.
@@vwguru Thanks a lot for the quick reply. However I don't see that menu in any settings in my car. I have an appointment at the dealership Tuesday morning and I'll add this to my list of concerns to address. Thanks again.

@@AlanSieja I thought about asking you what trim you had but just assumed you had the same.
I want one.. too expensive i’ll get a f150 instead
What about horse power and performance specs please?
Same as last year. 268Hp 2.0 liter turbo 4-cylinder.
Tail lights are the same as pre-facelift model, different from 2021 European Arteon. That's probably due to US regulations banning the progressive turn signal.
I think the American lights are better
I like them too!
Have a '19 SEL Premium R-Line with only 8k miles and I still want to trade for '21 because of the subtle changes you point out! BTW, awesome overall car...got 40 mpg driving from Phoenix to Los Angeles. Audi power, performance, styling and comfort, VW price.
40 MPG. That's impressive. At which speeds?
I have a 2014 CC with 60k miles love my car and wanted to get this but they just don’t hold value
Buy slightly used, you will easily save $10k
CPO is the way to go
does it have true dual exhaust or fake dual outlets?
It actually has dual exhausts
They're real!
10 year 200k mile engine replacement warranty?
Engine and powertrain warranty.
How much for that 4 banger ?
I think it’s 42
$48,775.
No wireless charging
A lot better than f* SUV
What’s the horsepower
268
268 HP. sorry for the slow reply.
289 in uk
APR will get in the 300hp range so no worries 😀
Nice, but not a $50k car.
It is a bad ass until you step on the gas!
CC > Arteon all day......
Beautiful but not worth 50k a new 540 is the same price and 100 times better
Looks like an a7
No accident.
The Genesis g70 is the way to go
10k oil change??? WTF is that?!!!
It is once every 10,000 miles. 100% synthetic.
@@vwguru DUHHH!! DONT TRUST IT!!
@@runninrebel37 I get 7500 oil changes that are legit, but have never heard of 10K.
Graba bien 🙄😒
48k !? no thanks
Look how sexy it is
What other car can you get with all these options loaded like this for 48K? Needless to say you probably can get it for 45k because no one pays sticker price anymore. I'll Wait????
just wait keep looking get a used one dont buy new lose alot of money
This won't sell any better than the 2020 model. Too much money for too little car considering what you can buy from the competition for the same or lower $$$....
