Volkswagen Arteon 2.0 TDI SCR 190 R-Line 5dr DSG Diesel Hatchback

One of the Arteons big selling points is the amount of technology included, and that includes lots of cutting-edge safety gadgets. Among the standard features is an advanced adaptive cruise control system, which uses cameras to read speed limit signs and update the settings accordingly. When you reach a 30mph zone, for example, the cruise control will automatically slow to meet the new limit. It also uses GPS data to slow the car automatically when you reach a bend or junction. Its a very clever idea, but in practice, it seems hugely conservative in its approach, braking far earlier than you would if you were controlling the speed yourself, and taking the bend at an unnervingly slow pace. The amount of kit available in the Arteon will be one of the main attractions, and it's crammed with features to Audi and BMW customers will be used to paying extra for. Even the standard SE trim is generous, with an 8.0-inch touchscreen for the dynamic navigation and other infotainment, including DAB, CarPlay, Android Auto and MirrorLink for your smartphone, plus three-zone climate control for driver, passenger and rear cabin.
