This is the new Volkswagen Arteon Shooting Brake!
Volkswagen may not be the first name you think of when it comes to premium car designs, but we have to say, we’re absolutely loving the look of this Arteon Shooting Brake. It sounds like VW heard you all complaining about the looks of the new Golf!
But given VW isn’t exactly the first name most of you think of when it comes to premium cars, is this Arteon estate effectively just a Passat in disguise? Or should it be considered as one of the best estates you can buy in 2021?
There’s only one way to find out - watch Mat’s latest in-depth review!

Hi everyone Mat here 👋. I just wanted to wish you all a happy new year. And would like to hear what you'd like to see more of and what you wish there was less of on this channel. I'll read through all of your comments for ideas... And don't worry, I won't be offended to hear about what you don't like. Thanks for your time!
Less of your terrible shorts please Mat... Or at least get some new ones.
Congrats on passing 5 million subs 🎉🎉
I want to see a drag race with a tesla s plaid when it comes out
Hypercar drag races please
I would like to see the stick of truth please haha
Idk about every else, but I really appreciate it when a manufacturer encorperates the infotainment screen into the dash instead of having it stick out and look like an afterthought
agree
If they have to stick up, at least make them fold flat when you want it out of the way.
@@HighAltitudesCO like audi used to do. When they stopped they just put it in the dash instead and I respect them a lot for that
my asian t cross model has an even better screen

I love that Mat is trying to compare his jacket with these cars
actually they are worth more or less the same
Wearing the jacket this way round, looks just like a 1960’s wool donkey jacket, with black on the outside Checked inside.

Mat I love your style and how you cut to the chase. Would you also be able to cover things like depreciation, reliability, servicing costs and value for money over the long term? Also if you’re reviewing a midlife update to a car, could you also cover what competitors are doing eg. If they have a fully refreshed model coming out. This would be really helpful in deciding what to buy. Thanks!
6:49 Mat with some carbuyer nostalgia
I own the VW Arteon fastback here in Sydney, the R Line version; chipped - goes like stink, loads of tech, looks amazing, loss of room. It replaced my previous BMW series, absolutely love it.
I have the Arteon R-Line as well (Melbourne) I LOVE IT!! The performance is outstanding, it's spacious, luxurious, loaded with tech and looks fabulous. I previously had a 2017 Chrysler SRT 6.4 litre Hemi.. And as much as I loved it, I don't regret moving to the Arteon... It's so elegant and turns heads everywhere I go!
@@InIn456 great choice mate!
Just picked up an R Line Shooting Brake here in Perth! Loving it!
This one is very beautiful!
Thanks
2nd only to the Peugeot 508 SW in stylish estate contest
Very nice, but not worth the money
@@smwatson1512 Oof I'd disagree with that, Arteon seems a bit more refined in terms of its design. Kinda like a design language combination between a Merc and an Audi. Fits my preference quite well but hey, that's just my opinion.
@@smwatson1512 I prefer the Volvo v60 ngl
Great stuff Mat !!! Happy new year
My cousin has a 2010 cc and I love both the Arteon and the shooting brake version as well.
5:08 hello cameraman

Halogen turn signals? 😂😂😂 15:58
Hey VW, we're in 2021.
😂😂😂 on a car that price too
True, but the iq light version have led turn signals
@@bmw330i91 Skodas too... so why release THIS now?
@@bmw330i91 For an almost £35k base model car, which only comes with a 150hp petrol manual as standard, I would’ve expected LED turn signals tbh
I don't know why they've done that. I've got the old arteon and mine indicator is integrated into the inner LED strip. The old arteon has dual LED headlamps too... step backwards?
4:27 you know what also fits a key nicely? A keyhole.
I really wonder why they're all removing keyhole in favor of start buttons and then making another place to put your key.

I was seriously considering this car to replace my 2018 A4 Avant because I wanted a bit more space but after this review I think I'm going to rule it out. Thanks for another great review Matt and its done what I think you set out to do; help people decide on what car to buy 👍🏻.
That's really a very good car....
And Matt looks like he is liking and enjoying it...
Happy new year to you too man. All the best to u and your family.
Watching this and thinking to myself: has VW been studying the Renault Talisman Grandtour? So many design elements and features look very similar. However the mirrors look weird on their diagonal stalks.
Not the CLS Shooting Brake though?
I agree, it Looks a lot like the renault. Personally i think the Renault Looks better aswell
Wow how did i never notice that
The arteon was out before that shut up
@@hsvcommodore4111 nah
C-pillar reminds of the VW Scirocco, in fact most of the rear design looks like it took inspiration from that model
Looked more like a porsche/audi hybrid to me
@@codemy666 This is just too expensive.
The best car is the next generation PASSAT.
@@dragospahontu Looks like someone found out how to copy and paste, well done 👏🏼
@@youraveragejoe1 it's not copy and paste. When i see bs i have to point it out.
I have nothing against Mat, i can't judge him because i don't know him. But this channel is just an advert. You don't learn anything and there are so many ads.
Mat doesn't criticize these cars, partly because they are new and you can't. Why doesn't he review these cars after ten years to see how they hold up? This Arteon isn't much different to the first Passat CC if you put them side to side. How is the price acceptable compared to a normal PASSAT.
Why doesn't he talk about the dual clutch transmission and the fact the Volkswagen outside the EU sells it's cars with Aisin8? If he is a professional journalist he should know these things and discuss them.
If you want a real car channel where you learn something check out Car Expert.
@@codemy666 @AceCustomz tho are allvw companies so it will always look mostly almost the same. But i get ur point
Happy new year matt, yiani, carwow team and viewers
Off to a great start into 2021 with the Arteon

Wish you the same
No such thing as a year, there is only the present moment

I love the Arteon so much! Such a fantastic looking car! Just wish we got the R and Shooting Brake here in North America!
Cla Shooting break is quiet better, if you have the night and amg version. VW stole the design and it's a Passat, nothing better.
I have the shooting break cla. Before I had a cls shooting break. Beautiful, powerful and modern.
@@Nitroat-xo4tj the cla shooting break is just noy as good looking
Me too 😭
@@bjarnewb arteon looks better than the cla
@@hiiiofficial8306 true
Happy Newyear Mat.Love YOUR moves.DANCEBATTLE???😆😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍👍
thank you Carwow for showing carseat-fit! Love it! Rest of the review is great as well of course ;-)
This car reminds me of the Scirocco with it's sloping lines along the side.
Just an updated, longer and more practical version of it.
I can imagine the 2.0 petrol with four wheel drive being an amazing car to drive!
I have a 2017 Skoda Superb Estate(wagon in Australia) 206kw 4WD. This review makes me feel how bloody good my Superb is! It’s not giving much away at all to this VW. Plus mine has wireless charging!🤪 The VW looks great but I’ve no intentions of looking to change even if we see this “Down Under”! Good review Mat. All the best for 2021! 🍻👍🏻
You also have over 100 litres more boot space than the Arteon... The Superb is still the biggest Estate the VW group do by cargo volume, which is literally the reason to buy an estate in the first place. A washing machine will fit in the back of the Superb without folding the seats down - though you do have to take the cargo cover off.
7:35 lol never change, Mat!
Absolutely awesome review Mat! This car is awesome!😸
Happy new year ❤️
Matt needs to lead the campaign to "save our knobs" you must agree we all have the right to feel them Happy New Year
👇🤣👍
Carwow, thanks for not putting a question mark at the end of the video's title.
Matt happy new year mate followed you from the get go . To me you just the hole package keep up the good work 👍🏻. When the real top gear died you was by far the best mate . Mr Jww is pretty good but he’s just a little bit posh for me lol
Great design, specially the rear. It's good to see different designs from VW since for my taste they're usually a bit boring.
The back end reminds me of an austin allegro estate
I always hear a lot of people saying ' oof the interior is the same from the Passat'. Guys, the Arteon replaced the Passat CC...
Arteon replaced CC, and CC replaced passat CC
By the way, CC had better seats than Passat, more Coupe. Also originaly CC is just 4-seater.
So yes, Arteon is downgrade. And its just passat with bezzeless windows.
@@davosworks ok i agree, but that said people say it like it is a bad thing, let's not forget the passat is a 40.000 bucks car... It certainly isn't at level with its premium competitors but it has some very good quality interiors
How many noticed “Have A Good Journey” with a Green Tick onto the Cluster.. Positive Vibes.. Thought Mat would mention that..
Actually it looks amazing as any Arteon even released , I’d buy it no matter what options it has
I have always loved the Arteon, the style has been the main thing! This shooting brake looks fantastic.
Those seats looks so comfortable.
All the best to you and your team hopefully a better 2021 to follow! #bringbacktheknobs!
Now this really is a beautiful vw
That's a very good looking car, love the rear end.
Agreed
Goodness me the rear on this thing is absolutely brilliant
Kanye said to Kim
Really, thank You for comparing Arteon's and Passat's boot space!
I think the Arteon coupe is the most beautiful vw currently in production. I am not a vw fan, but they always catch my eye. The shooting brake is a less successful design in my opinion.
I think the shooting brake is the best looking estate on the market. Looks good and I don't usually like estates.
Arteon is not coupe anymore. Its just sedan and Combi with bezzelless Windows.
CC was Coupe, it also had coupe seats (they were different than in passat), also it was originaly 4-seater. It had predecessor of IQ light, Arteon has basic lights, basic seats from Passat, and only black interior.
Last coupe from VW was CC
@@betterbeavailable I love the external looks apart from the VW front. Seems like a car that doesn't back up the pretty face with practicality and that kind of ruins the estate thing. I can't decide what to get. The Skoda Superb is so bland, the Passat looks like a Golf in a bad way. V60 looks old. Opel is pricy for what it seems to offer. Maybe E/C Class is just the way to go...
I like how the lights blend in with the grill
czcams.com/video/_F3-WqpNPuE/video.html
No.
These big ugly grilles need to disappear.
@@flyingtoworld675 i subscribed!!!
@@Bartonovich52 I don't think it's ugly. Also cars needs grills to cool the engine.
So you complain about big grills on cars, yet you don't complain about big grills on trucks?
The shooting back is quite stylish, cool!
4:17 Thank you for teaching me the reason behind why my Jetta Sportwagen's arm rest won't close until opened up farther. I always though of it as a place to keep pens, paper, gum, and a Leatherman, and less to due with an armrest (except for passengers). I was literally just talking with my Mom today when she was a passenger about my confusion as to what that was for.
One of the most beautiful shooting breaks after the Peugeot 508 SW 😋
508sw is very tiny
@@davosworks Very, VERY tiny. I have driven one for some time as a company car. However, i couldnt get used to how small the interior is compared to the exterior. it feels really cramped...
It has wireless charging, and also the Passat have it. The diesel engine does not have 190 hp it has 200hp. Come on Mat, you usually don't make these kind of blunders.

Very much the same phenomenon.

Reminding me of the new Peugeot 508 GT...
16:17 you did not just used a rs6 as a camera wagon to film a vw
I love your review style, bluntness, pacing, information level and judgement. I really like your opinions. The world needs more people who will rubbish what it is - rubbish! :-)
It is the perfect car. I have a 190CV Elegance version from DEC2019 ( so the "normal" Arteon ) and it is amazing , really in all. The only thing ist thta the current prices are too high. We bought it with a lot of discounts for less than 36 k €, what is compared to today extremely good.
6:41. you could have opened the door bruh
If he opens the door the camera man would take a loooong walk and enter a bit to film, wich is a little bit time consuming specially when you want to film the car in a day.

That ”carbon fiber“ seat fabric is hideous and makes no sense at all
unless you need to clean up a lot of "spillages"
It reminds me of the old 'basket weave' pattern they used to use in the old Beetle.
I wonder how it holds up long term. If you don't buy new the worse part of a used car is often the state of the seat edges. Either stained fabric or wrinkled cracked leather.
But when Peugeot slabs a big carbon fibre panel on the dashboard nobody complains🙃
@@maxx.a8302 Well, if it’s real, then great, it can save weight. It’s probably not real, so only for design, and that‘s okay-ish by me. But in this case on the VW, the use of the pattern on a soft part is just crazy stupid. Carbon fiber is not a material you would make a seat covering out of! It’s not a soft material, you wouldn’t want it there.
Matt what are the reasons to grab this over a superb scout? Aside from looks which is subjective? The scout has adaptive dampeners standard, AWD, a bit more clearence, bigger boot, more headroom, same motor and gearbox, equal warranty.
I’ve got the same spec as reviewed, 2.0tsi 190 and get just over 50mpg on my mostly motorway commute. Really impressed.
Is it reliable?
@@dragospahontu yes
