| A sketch of Volkswagen Arteon, which will replace CC and Phaeton |
Volkswagen has released a sketch of its new Arteon, which will be revealed
in full at the Geneva Motor Show next year and replace the CC.
Described as a “totally new model”, VW says the four-door Arteon will sit
above the Passat in its line-up.
While the CC drew its name from the acronym for
Comfort Coupe, the Arteon is made up of two component part: "Art," to
describe its silhouette, and "Eon," which is Volkswagen's new way to
define its premium models.
The German automaker says the Arteon will introduce a “highly expressive,
horizontally accentuated brand look”. As illustrated in the video below,
the bars of the radiator grille extend into the three-dimensional
headlights.
VW promises “great practicality”, making mention of the “wide-opening
tailgate”, which will apparently provide easy access to the “huge boot”.
Tobias Sühlmann, exterior designer said, “At first sight, the Arteon arouses
enthusiasm through its expressive design. It then surprises through its
practical virtues”.
Expect to see more of the Volkswagen Arteon in the build-up to the Geneva
show in March.
