Used Volkswagen Arteon for Sale

The Arteon’s safety suite has improved for 2021. A blind-spot monitor and automatic emergency braking are standard, while Travel Assist with adaptive cruise control is standard on the SEL models. Don’t know Drive Assist? This technology allows semi-autonomous driving at speeds of up to 130 mph, and it makes driving in stop-and-go traffic much safer. Because it links adaptive cruise with the navigation system, Drive Assist automatically adjusts the Arteon’s speed based on speed limit signs, bends in the road, and even upcoming intersections. Other available safety equipment on the 2021 Arteon includes lane-keeping assist, a 360-degree camera, and front and rear parking sensors. The Arteon has not been crash-tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

2020 Volkswagen Jetta GLI — Like the Arteon, the GLI was all-new for 2019. While it’s FWD only, the GLI comes in at a much lower price than the Arteon.  Also, its superb driving dynamics are on a par with those of its hatchback counterpart, the GTI. 2020 Audi A5 Sportback — Like the Arteon, the A5 Sportback is a sleek sedan with a handy hatchback rear, and they use similar powertrains. The Audi is exclusively AWD, and it’s not as roomy inside as the Arteon. 2021 Honda Accord — Staying away from a German car might be a good idea, given the cost of any potential maintenance issues. The Accord offers industry-leading resale value, good driving dynamics and a sleek, modern design. 2021 Hyundai Sonata — All-new for 2021, the Sonata wears coupe-like styling. It also costs significantly less than the VW. What’s more, Hyundai’s turbocharged powertrains are good, and so is the long powertrain warranty. 2020 Buick Regal Sportback — Most people don’t even know that Buick makes a hatchback version of its Regal sedan, or that it’s available with AWD and is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. An American Arteon? Of sorts. Used Audi A7 — Looking for a graceful German car with hatchback utility but a bit more size than the Arteon? Consider used 2016 or 2017 Audi A7. Finding one under $30,000 should be no problem.
