Volkswagen Arteon Shooting Brake 2.0 TDI Elegance 5dr DSG Review
Category: Executive car
Section: Version review
The VW Arteon Shooting Brake offers a stylish alternative to boxier estate cars without losing very much at all in the way of practicality. It's really spacious, well equipped, has a pleasant interior and a decent range of engines. For private buyers, we recommend the 2.0 TSI 190 petrol engine and Elegance trim, but as a company car, the plug-in hybrid will be a better option.
The trim
See full equipmentIf you’re fond of life’s little luxuries, Elegance is worth a look. For a reasonable extra fee, you get larger 18in wheels, part leather seats that are heated up front, keyless entry and more advanced driver assistance features.
The engine
See full engine specsThis entry-level diesel engine has the option of a seven-speed automatic gearbox, 148bhp and hits 0-62mph in 9.5sec. Officially it averages nearly 60mpg and is well worth considering if you do a lot of miles.
