Kuala Lumpur, 16th July 2021 – Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) today launched its flagship model, the new Arteon R-Line 4MOTION to the public via an online launch.

The very definition of art on wheels, the new Arteon commands presence with its assertive stance - the distinctive clamshell hood slopes down to a striking chrome grill featuring a continuous light strip with signature LED headlights; and new air intakes. At the rear, the LED taillight cluster adds character to the new Arteon’s sloping rear. Its looks are elevated with R-Line styling, which now carries the new R logo.

The Arteon is the ideal all-rounder as it offers the flexibility of different driving needs - this is the Volkswagen model to enjoy for hard, sporty driving or long cruising journeys, whether alone or with the family.

Its sleek contours mask an impressive performance. Under the hood lies a 2.0L TSI turbocharged engine that produces 280PS with 350Nm of torque. Paired with a 7-speed wet clutch DSG direct shift gearbox, the fastback can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.6 seconds.

Its handling is remarkable with the 4MOTION all-wheel drive system, which delivers power to the rear wheels when required for better traction and control on the road. Fuel efficiency is at approximately 7.4l/100 km.

The spacious interior of the new Arteon is elegant yet sporty, complemented by R-Line silver trim and new steering wheel. Driver features are innovative, intuitive, and customisable with information all easily accessible via the Digital Cockpit and Discover Pro infotainment system, which now offers wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

A premium Harman Kardon 700-watt audio system complements the luxurious interior, with 12 perfectly placed speakers that deliver rich and vibrant acoustics.

Erik Winter, Managing Director of VPCM expressed his delight at the response towards the Arteon since its introduction last year. “The Arteon is arguably the most beautiful model in our line-up - and matched with impressive performance and interior refinement, it isn’t just all good looks. Furthermore, it is currently offered with sales tax exemption, and so I am confident that the new Arteon R-Line 4MOTION will be a best-seller because it is truly unique and there isn’t anything like it in the market.”

Bookings for the new Arteon can be made at the Volkswagen eShowroom, which is open 24 hours and is always accessible. A representative from the preferred dealership will be in contact to make the necessary arrangements in line with Government SOPs and Volkswagen’s #SafeHands initiative.
