The swanky fastback is now RM 9,000 dearer, which pushes the Arteon’s price to RM 258,019. The price is on-the-road, and includes the sale and service tax (SST) exemption, valid till 30-June 2022.

Despite the price hike, the rest of the Arteon remains unchanged. Motivation comes from a turbocharged 2.0-litre TSI petrol engine that does 280 PS and 350 Nm, mated to a 7-speed wet-type dual-clutch automatic transmission.
