2023 VW Arteon Compared to the 2022 Volkswagen Arteon 

Stepping into a 2023 Volkswagen Arteon, mid-Michigan drivers get to experience several upgrades from the 2022 iteration of the spacious sedan. Various trim levels of the newest version of the sedan have new features to enjoy while cruising the Great Lakes Bay Region. Both inside and out, there are plenty of reasons to consider a new 2023 Arteon when looking for a premium Michigan family cruiser in a sleek sedan body style.  

Performance 

Bringing back the invigorating 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that was found in the 2022 version of the Arteon, the 2023 VW Arteon navigates mid-Michigan streets with a satisfying level of overall performance. Generating 300 horsepower, every press of the gas pedal will bring about a surge of speed that will send hearts racing with anticipation. The seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that accompanies the engine is another returning element of the sedan that gives the vehicle the welcome smoothness that makes modern Volkswagen vehicles so enjoyable to drive. FWD remains the standard drivetrain for the base trim of the Arteon, while the two upper-level trims come with standard 4Motion® AWD.  

Exterior & Interior Features 

Within the base SE R-Line trim of the 2023 Volkswagen Arteon, the sedan comes equipped with new standard features such as a heated steering wheel. The cabin is also adorned with LED lighting that can be personalized to meet passenger preferences. As for the two SEL trim levels of the 2023 Arteon, they now ride on substantial 20-inch wheels that give the sedan an even more commanding presence on the road. Passengers of these trims will also adore the various changes made to the design of the interior.  

Safety Features 

All the returning driver-assistance elements of the 2023 Volkswagen Arteon from its 2022 counterpart make the newest sedan the same reliable family cruiser that mid-Michigan drivers have come to expect. Lane Assist combines Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keep Assist into a comprehensive system. Emergency Assist and Travel Assist also return for the 2023 model year of the Arteon. Every 2023 Arteon also retains standard Adaptive Cruise Control to make long trips on a Michigan highway much more enjoyable and less tiring on the driver of the Arteon.
