The model
Read full reviewThe Volkswagen Arteon is good to drive, stylish and amazingly practical when considered in the company of other coupés, and even some saloons in the executive car class. The low-speed ride can be a bit thuddy especially on big wheels, but this a spacious and reasonably efficient mile-muncher.

The engine
See full engine specsWe’ve not sampled this engine in the Arteon, but it can feel a little weedy in the Skoda Superb Estate when it’s loaded up to the roof. This suggests to us that one of the punchier engines will be a better bet.
