Volkswagen Style and Design
Exterior
The Volkswagen Arteon features a sporty and sleek classic fastback designed exterior, the roofline slopes downward merging seamlessly with the back conveying both style and performance. Volkswagen describes the VW Arteon with a muscular stance, frameless windows, and a wide chrome grille that blends perfectly into the LEDs to create an unforgettable front fascia.Â
The exterior of the Volkswagen Passat looks more like your typical sedan thanks to its rounded edges and isn't as visually sporty as the Volkswagen Arteon. Both cars are made from safety cages that come equipped with front and rear crumple zones to help absorb crash energy and deflect it away from the driver and passengers.
Interior
The
VW Arteon comes with front sport seats that are as stylish as they are
comfortable. The VW Arteon has the option for available ventilated and
driver-massaging seating as well. The seats of the VW Passat's are also
pretty upscale and come with standard heated front-row seating which
makes those harsh New Jersey winters bearable. The VW Passat comes with the option of luxury V-Tex leatherette seating surfaces which are easy to clean and have a premium feel.
