The VOLKSWAGEN ARTEON (2017-20) 5DR FASTBACK 2.0 TDI 190 DPFR SS EU6 ELEGANCE 6SPD is a stylish family car blending hatchback practicality with a sleek saloon-like profile. In the UK, it sits above mainstream family models, offering an upmarket alternative without the price or presence of a full luxury car badge. With its 190hp diesel engine and six-speed manual gearbox, the Arteon suits commutes, motorway journeys and family trips, while its five-door layout makes loading easier than a traditional saloon. It is best for drivers wanting comfort, space and performance, rather than a city car or sporty coupé. mycarcheck.com has recorded two checks, covering two VINs, so its figures are indicative rather than representative: average private-sale value was £12,300, mileage 75,000, annual use 8,000 miles and previous keepers 1.5. The Arteon stands out for its elegant design and roomy, refined feel, competing with premium fastbacks such as the Audi A5 Sportback.
