Yahoo News VW Arteon grand tourer for Geneva motor show debut
Volkswagen will show the new Arteon at the Geneva motor show press day on March 6. The fastback-styled four-door car replaces the CC in VW's line-up and will sit above the existing Passat range and compete with the likes of the BMW 4-series Gran Coupé.
Details are scant at the moment (although expect further details early next week) but the company makes great play of the Arteon's frontal styling. In what is likely to spread throughout the range, a new-look front features merged LED headlights with the chrome cross-bars of the grille.
Volkswagen says that the interior is "exceptionally spacious – with ample head and leg room at all seats – which is extraordinary for this body form".

Style and a premium feel appear to be key elements in the Arteon's conception, incorporating features that usually are the preserve of luxury cars.
Modestly, Volkswagen says that the Arteon is "one of the most attractive products in its segment".
Other equipment features making their debut in the Arteon include the latest generation of driver assistance systems.
