Which Volkswagen Arteon trim should I buy?
The 2023 Volkswagen Arteon offers these trims:
- SE R-Line: This front-wheel-drive trim adds the Arteon's turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and XDS cross-differential lock system, making it the value-focused choice if you want the core driving experience.
- SEL R-Line: This trim adds standard 4Motion all-wheel drive, making it a strong pick if you want extra traction along with the Arteon's upscale character.
- SEL Premium R-Line: This trim adds the most upscale equipment in the lineup, and it suits you if you want the most premium version of the Arteon.
What Volkswagen Arteon do most buyers choose?
The Volkswagen Arteon years with the most listings are 2022, 2020, and 2021.
| Model Year | Total Listings | Good + Great Deals % |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 140 | 35% |
| 2020 | 130 | 34.6% |
| 2021 | 112 | 32.1% |
| 2023 | 82 | 32.9% |
| 2019 | 72 | 31.9% |
| 2024 | 62 | 35.5% |
Higher-volume years tend to draw more shopper attention because you have more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right price, color, and equipment combination. They also tend to become the default starting point for used buyers who want the broadest selection.
What is the Volkswagen Arteon's resale value?
| Model Year | Current Avg. Price | Year-Over-Year Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | $21,052 | −11.95% |
| 2019 | $18,604 | −6.71% |
| 2023 | $30,966 | −1.43% |
The table shows downward movement across every listed model year, which can work in your favor if you're shopping used. The biggest drop is a double-digit decline, while the other two years also moved lower over the past year. That pattern points to improving value for buyers rather than rising prices.
The 2023, 2019, and 2021 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
Is the Volkswagen Arteon safe?
- 2023: 7/10

Reviewed a 2023 Volkswagen Arteon on Jul 5, 2024
Been eyeing up the Arteon since the US model launch. Pre-2022 cars with the Aisin Warner AW8F45 dont live up to VW standards, but my 2023 SE R-Line with DSG has been a very smooth and fun large car. Price was always my issue with new Arteons but my used 2023 SE was well within my budget, gets 37 MPG highway with ease, has almost as much space as a Rav-4, has plenty of power, and has plenty of tech. Before buying I contacted VW corporate and learned that the car has a fully transferrable warranty, fully transferrable VW Care maintenance plan, 4 years of free telematics through the phone app, and can receive OTA software updates. Overall, I think the Arteon represents the best used value for a VW that you can get if you need something bigger than a GTI/Golf R but dont want to look like your dad in a Tiguan.

Why it stands out
The 2021 Volkswagen Arteon stands out as Volkswagen’s flagship sedan, and it leans into that role with a refined look and a strong emphasis on technology. For 2021, it arrives with upgraded styling, interior finishes, connectivity, and driver assistance, giving it a more polished and upscale feel than its mainstream badge might suggest. It is also described as a showcase for the brand’s capabilities and technologies, which helps explain why it wears such a distinctive halo.
What makes the 2021 Volkswagen Arteon appealing is the way it can be equipped to near-luxury levels while still keeping pricing below $50,000. Its stylish design and premium interior materials are clear strengths, and it also offers plenty of cargo space. The tradeoffs are worth noting, though: it is called out for poor value for money and poor fuel economy, so buyers are getting style, space, and sophistication more than efficiency or bargain pricing.
