The Volkswagen Arteon made its debut in 2017 at the Geneva Motor Show as the successor to the CC sedan. A couple of years later, in April 2019, the Arteon arrived at U.S. dealerships where it saw decent sales in its first year. Now, VW is unveiling a sexy new wagon version of the Arteon sedan: the Arteon Shooting Brake.

A look at the Arteon Shooting Brake
Perhaps taking a page from the competition, VW is launching the new Arteon as a classy wagon, and is imbuing it with an astounding sense of style. This change sets it apart from the Arteon sedan, which was essentially a fancier take on Volkswagen’s own Passat. As the above rendering shows, this new Arteon strikes a uniquely eye-catching balance between being refined and imposing. The image also reveals that the Shooting Brake will feature plenty of cabin space, and will likely be available in a number of striking color options.
Very little is currently known about the new Arteon’s features and performance. As of early June, the only confirmed features are a newly-implemented infotainment system and semi-autonomous Travel Assist. However, recent sightings of test drives in Nürburgring give us some hints of what to expect. The Shooting Brake is now rumored to feature quad-exhausts that aid an updated 2.0-liter turbo engine in achieving powerful speeds. Other supposed features include a paddleshift DSG gearbox and four-wheel drive.
