Volkswagen of America today unveiled the all-new 2019 Arteon sedan at the Chicago Auto Show, which replaces the CC in the automaker’s lineup.
The newest Volkswagen offers a sleek fastback design, an upscale interior, innovative technology, and available all-wheel drive, according to VW.
“The Arteon is Volkswagen’s brand shaper,” said Hinrich J. Woebcken, CEO of the VW of American’s North American Region. “This car is the spiritual successor to the CC, but it is bolder and faster. Arteon has the style and performance of a luxury Gran Turismo for about the price of a fully loaded midsize sedan.”
The Arteon, made in Europe, is based on Volkswagen’s Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB) architecture, which allows for a more cab-backward design, giving Arteon a completely different look than the outgoing CC, according to the company.
Arteon’s wheelbase is more than 5 inches longer than the CC. Arteon is longer and wider as well, translating into more interior space.
