The VOLKSWAGEN ARTEON (2017-20) 5DR FASTBACK 4MOTION 2.0 BITDI 240 DPFR SS EU6 ELEGANCE DSG AUTO7 is a premium-leaning large fastback: more stylish and spacious than a conventional family hatchback, but sleeker than an SUV. It sits above the Passat, combining executive-car comfort with a practical five-door boot. The mycarcheck.com sample is small—nine checks covering five distinct cars—so figures are a guide, not a market-wide verdict. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £14,300 and average recorded mileage of 58,000 miles; average annual mileage was 5,000, with about 2.6 previous keepers. With its diesel engine, four-wheel drive and automatic gearbox, this Arteon suits commuters and families seeking comfortable, all-weather travel, rather than city drivers prioritising low costs or parking. Elegance trim adds refinement, while the sweeping roofline gives it more flair than a Passat and greater practicality than many coupé-style rivals. It is an alternative to premium-badged executive cars.
