This is pretty close to what I expected for an entry level luxury sedan. One issue that I do see, is that you have to step up to the SEL just to get adaptive cruise. That's a standard feature on many down segment cars these days.

I shopped for my Arteon color combination, but have a few points that I found out during many discussions that might be of interest to US buyers:
1. Most dealers got just 2-3 cars and SE and SEL Premium in the initial roll-out. Its not clear if the number will ramp up.
2. There is an active cash incentive program by VW to help US dealers sell the car with up to $2500 incentives.
3. Most dealers told me they would not sell below MSRP
4. 3 dealers offered me the invoice price - approx $1500 off MSRP for the SE 4WD.
5. One dealer told me they may only get as little as 6 cars per year and another dealer told me they expect to sell maybe 2-3 cars per month, so low volume sales.
Personally, I think the Arteon is going to be a hard to sell volume car in US. Place it next to a US Passat and its nearly double that price, so its a specialist kind of car for those that want the technology and more importantly the space.

Some might disagree but I think if VW doesn't get it together, Kia might be taking away their customers with the new Stinger... in fact i'm starting to warm up to it.
I don't know why but the quality of Arteon is even worse than a Toyota Corolla
). I've bought one in 2019 the problems appeared starting at 1000 miles.

I've also had before buying my Arteon Volkswagen CC. And the quality of materials a better in CC. It seems like I'm having a Hyundai Sonata. the sound in the interior when you are driving is like a rattle. The DSG started to move in maintenance mode somehow, and when the gear was changed is was made with pushes. I was very angry about it and I decided to sell it as fast as possible. I used a car removal service which made all for me with the highest speed. If you would like to do like me you can find here . Finally, I decided that I'll never buy a VAG anymore.
