- Check out our latest VW Arteon in-depth review: • Volkswagen Arteon 2019...
.................................................................
The Volkswagen Arteon is the car which the German brand hopes will lift it into the premium segment. The swoopy styling will set the standard for future VWs, but under the skin it’s all familiar - the platform is shared with the Passat. So does the stylish frock make the Arteon worth considering over an Audi A5 Sportback or a BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe? Find out in my detailed review, where I comment on its quality, take a look at its tech, and work out if it feels expensive enough from behind the wheel.

"I've got a sound meter on my phone, I'm going to shut up a second to see if I can get a reading"
*Talks through the sound level check*
Don't forget checking the vibrations on the armrest. It surely gives a bad result.
I was just thinking that.
that's cause he was just swiping through screenshots lol
beauty arteon,..
Wtf, i was accidently reading this comment in sync when matt was saying it
Looks like Matt hit the gym before this video!
its to smash that camerawoman
I hope he's not taking drugs, aka suprements to get those, they make him look unbalanced
His boyfriend likes it that way.
John Ward Wish I were his boyfriend. Dayyum.
Davvy I agree, I told him to stop the squats for his bum.
This car is definitely a winner in my book. What a cool style! If I could afford it, I wouldn't think twice!
i love this videos,..my inspiration my videos,..thanks
Gorgeous Looking Car
It’s got a massive gob tho
@@Alf.B nah juicy
carwow is turning into bicepswow
this my spirit to made my videos,..thanks
Sharp exterior, smart interior. Really like it, aesthetically.
Damn Mat, you really gave us tickets to the gun show in this vid. Someone has been lifting weights. 😍
ursu tapan homophobe 🤣
can be the car 4 ames bond movie,..haha,..i made videos about arteon too, thanks mat
I will never understand why Matt always puts a shade on VWs...
It's literally one car with multiple branding.. this is also the skoda and the lower range Audi.
Stevan Spasenovic The KIA Stinger review bias is ALOT worse than this believe me.
i love this vieos my inspiration my channel..thanks
It's a nazi
hes just stupid
Hey Matt, I think you're the best car reviewer type guy. You should be on mainstream tv, you are brilliant.
South Coast Biker fg
South Coast Biker He should be in the new Top Gear.
South Coast Biker yes he is the best . Carwow deserves million subs
South Coast Biker thanks man. Means a lot
South Coast Biker No, Doug demuro is.
Please note: no beetles were harmed in the making of this video.
carwow hi
Is it available now in Ireland
You'll be getting a call from the RSPCA tomorrow mate
carwow i dont think it was intended but you did review a Volkswagen (Volkswagen beetle) 😁
Apart from the one you gave concussion of the arse to 😆
I appreciated your little "Atlas Shrugged" reference near the end of your review. Great job, as always, Tom!
Says forget the badge but when he is talking abt money" it's too expensive for a VW"
Seems like everyone is more interested in Mat's biceps rather than the car
what the fuck is wrong in this comment section? i thought people came here for the arteon
It's the only place people can talk crap to each other without suffering consequences like getting their teeth kicked in 😂😃😆
S Almanza
Facts
Welcome to the Internet. The land of the troll peoples.
hahahaha. What do you expect?
That car was based off the Volkswagen CC. They discontinued the model for some time then made the Arteon.
Matt your gym game is strong 💪 plus you’re best at what you do!
Mat Watson's biceps .. 💪
Yes they are very gayish
Mat Watson's willy ..

Xplosion51 lmao what?
Xplosion51 Atleast get your spellings right you inbred imbecile.
No that impressed. Still OK!
The thing with VW is, the badge has more kudos than Ford and Vauxhall, but not as much as Audi, BMW, or Mercedes. I can see myself getting one of these because of the bora that I have now, which absolutely refuses to fall apart. Quality is excellent.
well the mustang also is a ford but still prettttyyy cool. Its not about the brand but the individual cars.
If you have 20k$ you could get a 10 year old Mercedes e-class, or you could get a brand new ford fiesta. Both the same price, which one is more "premium"? Its really not about the brand
Funny thing is VW owns Audi
The #1 Jewfro Yeah, they also own Lamborghini, Porsche, Bentley and Bugatti as well.
FAWEXX your delivery if you believe vw is as reliable as Ford.
let me burst your bubble kid... reliability in german cars is a myth. just google most reliable car brands. german cars are at the middle or near the bottom. also quoting the focus rs, known for the head gasket failures in its latest models, doesn't make you look good.
Wow, Volkswagen finally realized that DESIGN IS IMPORTANT! What an epiphany!
i love this car,...i have videos about arteon too,..thanks mat
Excellent video, Mat. Thanks as always.
I'm a trained Mechanical Engineer and I would like to point out that if you are doing the sounds and vibration tests, you should do it in a controlled environment, where the roads are not bumpy and there are no cars traveling beside you. That way you can get more accurate results from a proper tool, for both, vibrations and sound tests. Otherwise, your review is just simply amazing mate. Continue this awesome job! cheers from Malaysia!!
Why you're wondering if VW can compete with Audi or BMW, I cannot imagine - VW OWN AUDI. They own Bugatti, Lamborghini, and Bentley too.
FAWEXX ...and Ducati bikes. 🚴
Clearly you don't understand the difference between a brand and a group. They also own SEAT. If you were given a free choice between SEAT and Lamborghini, would you choose SEAT over Lambo because they're both by the same group? Stupid comment.
Anand R. Exactly
The point is that Volkswagen is not really competing with the likes of Audi, as the parent company is the same. As long as you buy one of their brands, it does not make a whole lot of difference to them.
Anand R. Porsche , Seat and Skoda too
Honestly love VW and everything they do! I have a ‘99 V6 Passat and I’m looking to get a MK7 GTI. I test drove one and absolutely loved it. Can’t wait to get one of these in a few years when they depreciate!!
I can't wait to see this car in the street, it's a beuty
Croatian Warmaster Bitch lasagne
Croatian Warmaster how the fuck do you know that the person is an Indian ......stop being baised you racist fuck

Sri Harsha stfu
thats basically all the dudes nowadays smh
Came for the VW, stayed for Matt's guns...
Jarl Ballin' came for VW, came over Matt's biceps...
Jarl Ballin', that sounds gay. I only came here for the car. I like the design.
+relentless5321 Why you always lying...
5:34 the beetle came back on your shoulder mate lol
jajajaja you got like 90" screen or something? what an eye dude!
damn how can you notice that?
That looks like a fly.
HAHAHA AWESOME SO CUTE
HH M and bit him on the arm he had a alert reaction his arms swollen
That's a very sleek design, it looks great. I also love the flipping VW badge to open the trunk.
I will say, despite VW owning Audi (and I love Audi), VW does the best at ergonomics.
90% of the comments here are about Mat's biceps.
But holy shit mat's biceps 😍 😍 😍
DeltaForceExtra lol 😂
DeltaForceExtra Compare biceps against his height. Maybe still impressive :-)
Gay
Very ambitious design by vw, the future looks bright for them.
silexTM Gaming - CS:GO looks good for them?
Bitch they own all the big names in the automotive industry,
Buggati Mercedes you name it they own it.
Future is already bright for them
Brown Guy audi
Brown Guy mercedes????
when you've come out of committing the largest scandal in the history of mankind, there's no where to go but up. Of course the future looks bright... still doesn't mean you won't see these pieces of junk lying on the side of the road in 10 years.
They do own buggati, they also own lambo and audi too, but they own neither mercedes nor bmw
Whoa was that a HTC M8? You test drive the latest and greatest cars but your rockin' an OG android phone? Nothing but love just couldn't resist.
so cool design.
good job vw. from south korea.
That car looks beautiful
are firearms legal in Europe
how is Matt allowed to keep all those guns in public
smh

I love the arteon my first favoritte car was a golf and i love VW espesialy the arteon
Excellent vid, as always
"It's just a Volkswagen" that's why vw wants to make this cause they don't want people to think their cars are "just a Volkswagen" they want you to think it's a premium brand that you can trust. Their heading in a good direction.
But it isn't. Their "premium brand" is Audi, which are already tarted up VW's.
And they are anything but trustworthy.
Edison Siew Volkswagen own the company that made the r8,the chiron ,the veyron and the adventador to name a few
Gordon Ramsay yeah I know
Vincent, Audi IS Volkswagen, same engines. If VW fails, audi will.
Where are the sources of Merc failing? Can't seem to find anything...
Personally, I think the Arteon looks incredible. Can't say which 1 I like the most (Audi, VW, BMW, Merc). I've also never known about that safety feature that just automatically makes the car pull up if you're asleep. Very clever indeed. Don't really care if it's an Audi, a VW or a BMW, I'd just buy the car for the looks, if I of course had the money.
It’s one of the most beautiful cars in past decades. Especially in that yellow/gold color.
@@handznetYes, it is indeed! I’m on my 2nd one!! The brand is just a badge but it’s what the car does, capable of and it’s looks are what that matter to me. 👍
Dude, that biceps... good work, mate.
I own this car in 2liter 150 hp R-Line version.
This is a fantastic car. The engine is enough powerful for cruising and every day purpose.
The interior is typically Volkswagen 😒, serious, not really fun, austere.... But classy and elegant.
The driving, the handling and road dynamic of the car is excellent. The seats are a bit hard, not really comfy but it's ok.
The acoustic in the "cockpit" is quite good, not to much road nor engine noise.
Very good passive protection ( line keeping assistant is impressively efficient) you have the feeling of an autonomous car.
After 7 months of using the car I'm really satisfied. I love it.
I hope it helps even if I'm not fluent in English 😁?!
Thanks for sharing, it looks like a great car.
Damn Mat your Biceps is getting bigger and bigger :D
We all know what that means!
... ok, stop looking at me like that!
Look, I know that from experience - my right biceps has became so huge, it has its own gravitational pull.
Whenever you feel down, one of the reasons is my right biceps - you're being inexorably pulled towards it. It's just a reality you have to live with
nah only the forearms grow with that method....
CUBEX (Baen) How do you know that? And which method you're actually referring to?
I'm assuming it's the same method you're referring to. ;)
Aren't you just reinforcing the prejudices by saying that it's still only a Volkswagen. Then any brand will still only be "that brand".
Volkswagen translates from German to "The car of the people" so of course the car is not meant to be as flashy and sporty as say an Audi. However I respect VW for upgrading their design to make up for not being a rival for Audi.
Because you pay for the brand too, why do people pay 800 pounds for an iPhone? It's the same, you wouldn't pay the same price and get a Nokia. Even if IT could do the same things.
But VW own Audi, Seat, Skoda anyway all under the same group
Great review. We have owned many Vdubs and I was pretty excited about Arteon after running a launch CC manual up to 130k with no issues. No manual is a deal-breaker. Had to laugh reading reviews as your “backseat” section I said: “jeez did you just do a dozen curls?” The guns are amped. Others thought so to. Funny. Price point is important with this car. They want it to be luxury, but it is sporty looking. A base manual tranny with two-tone V-Tex would be spot on with me. Keep the nanny’s except blind spot warning and give me an affordable Arteon...sadly VW won’t do that so they are “off my list”. Otherwise: LOVE THE CAR. I feel the urge to work out. Weird... :)
Great vid mat
DANM BÍCEPS MAT HOLY 💪
what your problem with VW?VW is a good company car one of the biggest and and VW did a great job on the arteon
Yeah, it got the top spot for the best deceiving company. Only fools buy merchandise from scammers.
Daniela could i get a link to your sources?
Exactly! Especially the VW Passat is said to be extremely pleasant to drive!! VW makes basic, but very high quality cars! Good brand!
I just got this here in the states last week, I was in the market for an A4-A5 since my last car was a 2018 A4 and I gotta say this car is an absolute joy. For the money it has just about as much to offer as an A5 top trim prestige (over 52000 before options) for only 47000 as well as more room. It’s so comfortable and quiet with an amazing sound system and with 34 more horsepower. If you’re in the market for that range of Lucy car check this car out and you might save yourself 10 grand for something just as nice
I love this channel. Could you please add a fuel economy numbers in l/100km?
Damn Mat have you been hitting the Gym lately. Biceps are on point lol
What's your workout to get muscles like those and how long did it take you to get them?
Hey Mat! You are the man! Love ya dude!
Absolutely love the system that the car uses when you've passed out, and it warns you, brakes, and pulls over... BUT having experienced a few pass outs "not proud of it" the normal human reaction to suddenly waking up a coming to realization that you're still driving, one tends to wake up and grab or yank at the steering wheel as a "defensive response". My question is, would the car counter react to my sudden response to yank the steering wheel and cause myself to crash?
You can't lie guys the Arteon is simply beautiful on the outside
Is there an article I can read for more information? Oh sorry, wrong channel
Miguel Noya Vargas hello fellow demuro fan.
This video has its cool quirks and features.
Can't get enough of that Badge-handle. love it.
Love the lines and the interior! When will this model be available in the US?
Bring these to the states dawmmit!
matt them biceps are great man !
I love the exterior styling of the Arteon over all three vehicles. However, I prefer the Audi interior-- I am in love with Audi interiors. So in a dream world I would take the Arteon with Audi interior. The color of that car is jaw dropping though and the tint is inpressive.
love the 'fastback' / 'sportback'. looks great in yellow-gold.
Cool!
Damn he's been working out
It is a bit on the expensive side, that's true. But what many people fail to mention is that if you are coming from something like a ford Mondeo (Fusion) or an Accord, you might be blown away by it. And long time reliability is a key factor here, I have never seen a broke down VW - have you? A friend has a 2006 5-series and he just paid $1000 for a starter motor. I mean, this is a luxury car for people who can't afford to keep up with one and for what it is it looks great, can't wait to go for a test drive
Matt, I appreciate your reviews; you are joyful to watch, but why would you compare it's sound meter reading to 7 series -a better would be A5/4 series or C class meter reading.
Is it just me or has Matt been lifting
And if someone sees you on a road they will say "Oh, look! A new Passat!"
Lol, u so right
@@tikgedithulo6595 I mean, its a great car but I would rather buy Audi in this case if Im going for VW group
Nice review
the front design tho... looks friggin sleek🔥🔥
Okay MAT... I cant hold myself to ask you this... Your biceps look a bit more fluffy than normal... Did you use any sort of muscle pumper?
Sorry if this query hurts you Mat... A big fan of yours :)
The rear part of the arteon remembres me the Mercedes gle
This Arteon looks the best in this Mustard-like yellow, especially with those dark gray/black wheels.
Nice car
And good review
Cheers
The signature Audi grille Is the best looking on the market
so what if it has vw badge, is that the only reason we should presume that bmw or audi are automatically better? is that car journalism?
10/15 years before Audi/Bmw were very nice cars, and quality cars, + the marketing they do now, so lambda people have that image in their mind... VW started making great cars ( design, quality ) 4/5 years ago... So all the people now that vw is less a "premium"brand than Mercedes/audi/Bmw ...
Flyway what the actual fuck are you talking about? vw made good cars in the past you idiot their newer cars are absolute moneygrabbing bullshit which goes poof after your warranty ran out!
older vw's were reliable as fuck and they've put some effort into them nowadays it's just everything the same and all cheap shit for a high price tag.
it's simply playing on the card of snobbery. I mean, how deranged you need to be to buy a3 instead golf....
The A3 is more refined than the Golf, and the difference in price isn't that big, depending on spec. The base A3 is more expensive, but also has more options crammed in.
I'm not sure if the top equipped A3 gets anything extra compared to the Golf, aside from the beefier engine though.
Sergiu-Lucian Petrică so what you're basically saying is that it's the same shit but different (and more expensive)
When I was driving the Arteon r-line it made an big difference rather I put it in sport mode or not. For me personally it made more fun driving the Arteon in sport mode than the Golf R.
You should measure the vibration by putting the phone ON THE SEAT. You placed it on the on the armrest which amplifies the intensity of the vibrations.
You say that like it's a bad thing. VW makes some pretty awesome autos. And the price is right compared to everything you mentioned.
Ted Davis Yes, all that awesomeness is good for the first 60k miles, after that you're going to be spending lots of time and money at the mechanic shop.
It looks great but it's no competition to the A5 sportback.
buhahahah, it's much better thnn A5 Sportback.
Robertkajman it’s not though
Robertkajman So you're saying the Volkswagen is better than the Audi, BMW and Mercedes equivalent?
i dont understand this, how is this in any way in competition with the A5? Volkswagen made this and they also made the A5. Theyre competing with themselves? hmm
The Arteon is truly a work of art. I am excited about the rumored VR6 Turbo engine that is stated to be introduced
Had a look round one today, they very nice, much better than in the pictures.
have you been jucing up recently? lol 😂 those biceps though 😍👌
1:39 beetle: I thought it was a volkswagen beetle ...........BUT I WAS WRONG
Matt I love your reviews so much that when you left carbuyer I was crying. But I was so made up when I heard your doing reviews on car wow and watched them ever since
2:02 you'll be seeing that warning light a lot if my experience is anything to go by...
And if it's a Volkswagen,what?Why this car can't be as good as a BMW 5 Series or Mercedes E class?In my opinion,this Arteon looks much better than BMW 5 Series and E class from Mercedes
Bogdan Toma it’s the interior that’s the problem not the badge in my opinion. It has the same interior as any other fully loaded VW
The 5 series was such an uncomfortable car when i went on a long trip. I was clenching my buttocks in the passenger seats for 2 hours straight
AD M all BMW interiors are the same, I owned a 4 series and a 5 series and when I got a loaner 3 series that was the same too. I now have an Arteon, the interior is better than my 2015 4 series, its faster, better looking, better equipped and cheaper; oh and it has 5 doors for our new baby - win!
@@Tallandcharming
It's not the BMW interiors, it's the Audi and Merc interiors that look great.
Ammar Hasan I don’t understand your point?
5:20 the best system
Hi! Regarding noise measurenment - 69dBA is a good result. Was this particular car equiped with extra noise insulated windows? How does it compare to regular Arteon specs? Thanks, Pawel
I would say that it is a combo of the Skoda superb and the Audi A5 sportback
Looks like the check engine light is on from the factory. Perfect
That car looks noice!
According to your Wiki page, you're sponsored by Opel. Are you sure they'll be happy with you saying such nice things about a VW?
Just looks.
That biceps looks nice!
what a beautiful car! obviously the VW version of the A7, but i love it. Do we know if/when it'll come to the US?
is the wind screen tinted yellow? or is it the reflection either way such a cool effect man
I think somebody has been working out a little too much 💪🤪
my inspiration to made my videos,..thanks
Review the LaFerrari Aperta please i want to see if the door bins pass the carwow bottle test before deciding if I should do it
this looks absolutely stunning
Amazing car! I got 2004. Golf 5 2.0 TDI lol, would love to drive this one!
Why does it always seem?
That every sentence that comes out of Matts mouth?
Sounds like a question?
A320Pilots rhetorical question speaking maybe? It is a review and just how people talk lol
Because he's from Birmingham, it's his accent
A320Pilots That's Britain for you.
He's from Birmingham.
Interesting fact: There are only 3 types of bread in Birmingham!
1. White bread
2. Brown Bread
3. Inbred
1:41 *CHARLIE!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!*
Hahaha
Wow, this car actually looks pretty nice! Not a bad color either, I'd love to get my hands on!
love the styling of this car. just don't know if the fit and finish and the attention to details are on par with a merc e class or the 5 series.
