My best suggestion is that you take a test drive if possible. The Arteon is a large car, but not that heavy.
I have had a couple of diesel cars myself, from a 142 hp Tiguan to a 245 hp Touareg. I did not like the engine in the Tiguan, but the V6 diesel in the Touareg was great.
However I generally prefere petrol engines over diesels, as I find them more "engaging" to drive.
My experience with the 2.0 TSI 280 hp in the Arteon is very positive. Not driven it a lot yet, but on our only long trip so far we managed an average of 41 mpg (0.68 l/10 km) which I think is very good (used the ACC most of the 300 km long trip).
Since there are several petrol and diesel engines available for this car, I wish you the best in finding the one best suited for you. They all look very good
