As one of Volkswagen's flagship models, the Arteon has the technology, styling and comforts to do battle with premium-badged rivals. It's so desirable that it helped seal the fate of the workhorse VW Passat saloon, which has been withdrawn from the UK market. The addition of the Arteon Shooting Brake version, which AM is running until late-spring, hasn't done the same for the Passat estate, which still outsells it by more than two-to-one. This is partly due to Arteon's £7,000 price premium over the unexciting estate car. Yet one could imagine some small private fleets - the main target market -will cough up for the more eye-catching Arteon, if it'll keep their middle managers happy. |
