As the flagship sedan in Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) range, the 2023 Volkswagen Arteon R-Line 4Motion deserves the best and that’s now the case as it’s been updated with IQ.Drive technology. The bump in equipment also sees the pricing bumped up to RM 301,012.

Under the hood and shell, performance figures remain unchanged. That see
