Volkswagen Arteon R-Line 4MOTION Officially Launched In Malaysia
Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) has officially launched the new Volkswagen Arteon R-Line 4MOTION. The flagship VW Arteon has a price tag of RM247,670.97.
“The Arteon is arguably the most beautiful model in our line-up – and matched with impressive performance and interior refinement, it isn’t just all good looks. Furthermore, it is currently offered with sales tax exemption, and so I am confident that the new Arteon R-Line 4MOTION will be a best-seller because it is truly unique and there isn’t anything like it in the market,” commented Erik Winter, Managing Director of VPCM, who expressed his delight at the response towards the Arteon since its introduction last year.
The Arteon is an executive sedan with a commanding presence. Its assertive stance is complemented by the distinctive sloping clamshell hood, a striking chrome grill featuring a continuous light strip with signature LED headlights, and new air intakes. At the rear, the LED taillight cluster adds character to the new Arteon’s sloping rear. Its looks are further elevated with R-Line styling, which now carries the new “R” logo.
With the Arteon, Volkswagen offers an ideal all-rounder with flexibility of different driving needs whether it’s hard, sporty driving or long cruising journeys, alone or with the family.
Driving performance comes from the 2.0L TSI turbo engine with 280 PS and 350 Nm, which allows the Arteon to go from 0 – 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds. The engine is paired with a 7-speed wet clutch DSG direct shift gearbox which sends the power to the 4MOTION all-wheel drive system. This system delivers power to the rear wheels when required for better traction and control on the road. To top it off, fuel efficiency is listed at approximately 7.4 l/100km.
The interior of this flagship fastback is spacious with an elegant yet sporty theme complemented by R-Line silver trim and a new steering wheel. Driver features are innovative, intuitive, and customisable with important information easily accessible via the Digital Cockpit and Discover Pro infotainment system.
Additionally, the infotainment system now offers wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It is matched with a premium Harman Kardon 700-watt audio system with 12 perfectly placed speakers that deliver rich and vibrant acoustics.
Bookings for the new Arteon can be made at the Volkswagen eShowroom, which is open 24 hours and always accessible. A representative from the preferred dealership will be in contact to make the necessary arrangements in line with Government SOPs and Volkswagen’s #SafeHands initiative.
