Volkswagen teases Arteon Ahead Of Geneva Show
It is expected to replace the CC sedan which is currently sold in the international market.
A teaser sketch of a new premium four-door coupe, named the ‘Arteon’, has been released by Volkswagen. The car will be showcased at the upcoming 2017 Geneva Motor Show in March and it will be placed above the Passat in the product portfolio. It is expected to replace the CC sedan which is currently sold in the international market and will be Volkswagen’s new flagship sedan. Explaining the name of its latest offering, the German automaker has said that the first part, or ‘art’, represents the harmonious lines and emotionality of the car, while 'eon’ reflects the fact that this is a premium model, like the Phideon that it sells in the Chinese market.
With the Arteon, the German manufacturer is likely to start with a new horizontally accentuated brand image. The car will sport a sleek front fascia with the slats on the grille extending into the 3D LED headlamps. The roof gets a sloping design giving it a more coupe-like profile. The door will come with frameless windows, while at the rear it will feature a top-hinged boot for easy access. The tail lamps will feature a wraparound design with LED units.
Speaking on the design of the Arteon, exterior designer Tobias Sühlmann, said, “At first sight, the Arteon arouses enthusiasm through its expressive design. It then surprises through its practical virtues. This combination is unique.”
Further details of the new Volkswagen Arteon will be available once the car makes debut at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.
