A design statement.

In autumn 2020, the gran turismo underwent an extensive technological upgrade.

At the same time, Volkswagen launched a second version with a different body: the new Arteon Shooting Brake.

And now in spring 2021, the product line’s new flagship models are ready to go – the Arteon R and Arteon R Shooting Brake.

Delivering an output of 235 kW (320 PS), they are now the most powerful Arteon models.

Both sports and touring vehicles were designed by Volkswagen R, the brand’s performance specialists.

The two new versions of the Arteon are the latest milestones in the R product campaign: In the space of six months, Volkswagen R launched not one but five new flagship models for their respective product lines: the Touareg R, Golf R, Tiguan R, Arteon R and Arteon R Shooting Brake.

The T-Roc R has also been available since 2019.

The first independent R model made its debut back in summer 2002 and has since become renowned as a classic: the Golf R32 – it was the first spark in a firework display of premium R models that has lasted to this day.

Common denominators: permanent all-wheel drive, exclusive equipment and good every-day driving attributes without any compromises.
