Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia is now accepting
pre-bookings for the all-new Arteon, and the fully imported Arteon R-Line is
expected to be priced between RM 290,000 and RM 310,000.
For specifications, the Arteon will be powered by a
2.0 litre four-cylinder TSI engine producing 280 PS and 350 Nm of torque. These
outputs are sent the all four wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch (wet clutch)
gearbox and 4Motion permanent all-wheel-drive.
Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) is available, offering
several drive modes such as Eco, Normal, Comfort, Sport and Individual. The
automaker’s famous XDS electronic differential lock is standard, too. The
R-Line rides on 19-inch wheels, although it’s unclear if it’s the same
Montevideo unit (pictured below) from the model displayed at PACE 2018.
Equipment list include the new Active Info Display
(fully digital instrument cluster), top-of-the-line 9.2-inch Discover Pro
infotainment system with gesture control and Wireless App-Connect (Apple
CarPlay, Android Auto and MirrorLink), as well as 360-degree area view camera.
Note that the inbound Arteon comes fitted with
interior and exterior R-Line styling package, and is available in eight colours
– Manganese Grey, Deep Black, Reflex Silver, Romance Red, Urano Grey, Turmeric
Yellow, Oryx White Pearl and Pyrite Silver.
