Volkswagen CC's successor Arteon
Coming To US next year
With the Volkswagen CC limping around on its last good leg, the German automaker is already plotting its replacement. Meet the 2018 Arteon, the four-door coupe that will slide into the slot the CC will soon vacate.
Like the CC it will replace, the Arteon will come with the combination of a sleek roofline and four doors to create that four-door coupe look that’s sweeping the luxury segment. Where the Arteon will differ from its predecessor is its more muscular appearance, thanks to its bolder cuts and lines.
The Arteon will also be significantly larger than its predecessor at 191.4 inches (+2.3 inches) long, 73.7 inches (+0.7 inches) wide, and 56.2 inches (+0.4 inches) tall. Its 111.9-inch (+5.2 inches) wheelbase will help improve rear-seat leg room and increase trunk space to 19.9 cubic feet (+6.7 cubic feet) with the seats up.
Like the CC, we expect the standard features on the Arteon to rival some luxury cars. We expect them to include LED headlights, taillights and daytime running lights, stainless-steel door sill plates, a Composition Media infotainment system with eight speakers, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, power front seats, and keyless entry and ignition.
