Catch The Online Launch Of The New Volkswagen Arteon R-Line 4MOTION On 16 July 2021
Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) will launch the new Arteon R-Line 4MOTION online on 16 July 2021. The broadcast of the launch will be available on Volkswagen Malaysia’s Facebook or YouTube channels at 12:30 pm.
The flagship VW executive sedan is locally assembled in Pekan, and receives some updates compared to the Arteon that was launched in 2020. The new Arteon sees upgrades such as a new engine, 4MOTION all-wheel drive, and refurbishments to the exterior and interior.
The most significant change will be to its driving performance. With the new 2.0L TSI turbo engine and 7-speed wet clutch direct shift gearbox (DSG), the car has 280 PS and 350 Nm of torque at its disposal. The 0 – 100 km/h acceleration is timed at 5.6 seconds. In comparison, the Arteon R-Line launched last year had 190 PS and 320 Nm from its 2.0L turbo engine.
The interior updates include a new steering wheel with haptic touch controls, ErgoComfort sports seats in Nappa Carbon leather, premium Harman Kardon 700W 12-speaker audio system, and 9.2” Discover Pro infotainment with voice and gesture control, as well as wireless App-Connect support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It will also include Lane Assist, Side Assist, and Driver Alert as standard safety features.
The new Volkswagen Arteon is also the first model in the local line-up to wear the new Volkswagen and R badges. There are 5 body colours available i.e. metallic options: Lapiz Blue, Manganese Grey, Pyrite Silver; and pearl effect: Deep Black and Oryx White.
