With the Passat exiting stage left after the 2022 model year, the VW Arteon is poised to take over as Volkswagen's flagship car. A practical midsize liftback with upscale sedan styling and refinement, the Arteon sports a sleek coupe-like profile and bold exterior aesthetic with potent under-the-hood performance to match. It's spacious, comfortable, and nicely equipped. And it offers a proven safety reputation.
An Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick (TSP) for the past three years (2020–2022), the VW Arteon rolls into 2023 with its first-ever IIHS Plus designation (TSP+). The IIHS awards Top Safety Pick status to vehicles meeting an array of strict standards, including passing all six crashworthiness tests with the highest possible score of "Good." TSP models must offer frontal collision mitigation technology rated "Advanced" or "Superior" and have available headlights rated "Acceptable" or "Good." The "+" (plus) addendum is reserved for vehicles with Good-rated headlights as standard equipment.
