2021 Volkswagen Arteon sedan to be launched in India soon?
What's the story
As part of its India 2.0 plan, German automaker Volkswagen will launch a new car in India besides the Taigun compact crossover.
It will either be its 5-seater variant or the flagship 2021 Arteon sedan, though we believe it would be the latter.
Highlights of the Arteon include a sporty look, a spacious cabin, and a 2.0-liter twin-turbo petrol engine.
Here are more details.
Exteriors
It will sport a full-width LED light bar
The 2021 Volkswagen Arteon will have an eye-catching design, featuring a sloping roofline, a chromed grille with an LED light bar, a muscular bonnet, and a wide air dam.
It will be flanked by blacked-out B-pillars, sleek ORVMs, and designer alloy wheels.
Wrap-around LED taillights, a refreshed diffuser, a chrome trim on the bumper, and quad exhaust tips will grace the rear section.
Information
It will run on a 268hp, 2-liter petrol engine
In India, the 2021 Volkswagen Arteon is likely to draw power from a 2.0-liter, twin-turbo petrol engine that delivers 268hp of maximum power and 350Nm of peak torque. The mill will be linked to an 8-speed automatic gearbox for handling transmission duties.
Interiors
The car will have a spacious tech-loaded cabin
The 2021 Volkswagen Arteon sedan will have a spacious cabin featuring premium upholstery, a 30-color ambient lighting system, a 12-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, a wireless charger, and a multifunctional steering wheel.
It will house an 8.0-inch MIB3 touchscreen infotainment console with support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
All standard safety features, including multiple airbags, will also be available.
