The model

Read full review

The 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 trim

See full equipment

If you’re fond of life’s little luxuries, Elegance is worth a look. For a reasonable extra fee, you get larger 18in wheels, adjustable suspension, part leather seats with the front ones heated, keyless entry and more advanced driver assistance features.

The engine

See full engine specs

We’d recommend this 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine as it combines punchy performance from low revs with reasonable fuel economy in the real world – mid thirties MPG is easily achievable. High CO2 emissions do make it a pricey company car choice, however.
