Used Volkswagen Arteon

The Arteon is the best-looking Volkswagen of its era, and it has aged into a genuinely stylish used buy. Under the swooping fastback it is closely related to the Passat, so you get generous rear legroom, a big hatchback boot and relaxed long-distance comfort. Aim for a car from the 2020 facelift onwards: that is when the Shooting Brake estate arrived, along with the 218 hp eHybrid plug-in and the 320 hp four-wheel-drive Arteon R. For high motorway mileage, the 2.0 TDI remains the sensible pick. Volkswagen ended production in 2024 without a direct replacement in this shape, and the low roofline makes getting into the back less graceful than in a Passat. Buy one if you want a big, comfortable Volkswagen that turns more heads than its sensible underpinnings suggest.
