Reviews Summary | |
Reviews SummaryWe can’t figure out why the Volkswagen Arteon isn’t more popular. Equipped with roomy seating for five people, available all-wheel drive, a large cargo area, and an upscale look and feel, it checks many of the same boxes as a crossover SUV, but with a greater sense of style and better driving dynamics. Plus, it’s a safe vehicle. What’s missing? A tall driving position, extra ground clearance, a third-row seat, and the cachet of a luxury brand. If those things don’t matter to you, get a VW Arteon while you still can. | |
