Volkswagen Arteon Performance Overview
Volkswagen’s Arteon occupied the brand’s midsize liftback performance space from 2019 to 2022, represented here by 7 verified tests spanning those model years. Across the first-generation run, its results trace a clear progression from the early EA888-powered cars at 268 hp to later 300-hp versions, all using turbocharged gasoline powertrains. The initial benchmark came with the 2019 SE 4MOTION at 6.0 seconds to 60 mph, while a 2019 SEL Premium R-Line 4MOTION stretched to 7.4 seconds, establishing the slow end of the recorded range.
Mid-cycle, the Arteon’s performance tightened around the six-second mark before the updated 2022 models shifted the ceiling. The 2022 SEL Premium R-Line 4MOTION produced the quickest figures in the dataset, reaching 60 mph in 4.6 seconds and running the quarter-mile in 13.3 seconds at 103 mph. That same first-generation car defines both the all-time and current-generation best, while the overall average sits at 5.97 seconds to 60 mph and 14.44 seconds at 96.6 mph in the quarter-mile.
Today, the Arteon stands as a short-run, single-generation model whose recorded performance moved from ordinary six-second launches to a final-year best of 4.6 seconds, all within a narrowly focused gasoline, turbocharged, all-wheel-drive formula.

How we verify Volkswagen Arteon performance data
Records and averages on this page cover verified production runs only; modified and prototype results are listed by year but never folded into them. We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Volkswagen Arteon trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
