Volkswagen has released couple of teaser images of the new Arteon ahead of its world premiere at the 2017 Geneva International Motor Show in March. The fastback model will succeed the ageing CC sedan, and will be positioned above the Passat.
“Combining the avant-garde design with a high level of versatility was the key objective for designers and developers of the Arteon”, says VW. Further explaining the design, “the interior architecture has facilitated for an exceptionally spacious head and leg room at all seats – which is extraordinary for this body form”
Key design elements of the Arteon include its completely new front end, in which the LED headlights and daytime running lights merge with the chrome-plated crossbars of the radiator grille and the bonnet. Volkswagen promises to include the latest generation of driver assistance systems, and several interesting features that are typically reserved for luxury automobiles.
In VW’s words, the name Arteon – with the emphasis put on the first syllable – is made up of two component parts: ‘Art’ describes the fastback’s harmonious lines and emotionality. The ending ‘eon’ identifies it, in the same way as Volkswagen’s top model for the Chinese market, the Phideon, as a premium model.
Production will be at the company’s plant in Emden, Germany.
