Incredibly beautiful SUV. The most beautiful one out there in terms of style.
The interior could be a bit more modern... but the seats feel amazing.

Rubbish car.

Features clearly not as polished as other EV SUVs at similar prices (e.g. Volvo EX40 / BYD Sealion 7))

Alarms about driver fatigues every 10 minutes.

Well-built car, reasonably priced — unlike the inflated costs of German cars.

VW Arteon

The VW Arteon cuts a fastback silhouette that manages to look more expensive than it is, with a cabin that feels calm, roomy and smartly finished. It blends relaxed long distance comfort with a touch of sporting poise, making it a clever choice for buyers who want grand touring polish without shouting for attention.
