Americans aren't as in love with the Arteon as Europeans, but that won't stop Volkswagen from offering it for sale here. The automaker, who has sold just over 2,600 Arteons this year, is pricing the 2021 edition to start at $36,995.
Only available as a sedan in the States, the Arteon will be sold in three trim levels: SE, SEL R-Line, and SEL Premium R-Line. Each comes with an additional $1,195 destination and delivery charge.
The Arteon gets its power from a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 268 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Its engine is paired with an eight speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is available in the SEL R-Line and up grades.
