For one with decent specs, you\u2019d be looking at around AED 200,000 \u2013 before VAT. Not that you didn\u2019t get quite a lot for your money. In any spec, the Arteon looks great, comes with a fabulous interior, and is powered by a 280 bhp, 2.0-litre turbocharged engine driving all four wheels. So it\u2019s quick, too.<\/p>\n<p>But for that money, you could be looking at a lesser-powered Audi or BMW of roughly the same size.<\/p>\n<p>So Volkswagen has had a bit of a rethink, and has come to the market with this \u2013 the new base-level Arteon, which is powered by a 190 bhp 2.0-litre engine.<\/p>\n<p>Performance figures haven\u2019t been given, but we\u2019d reckon on an ample 0-100 km\/h time of around 8 seconds. More than plenty in car like the Arteon, which, despite its killer looks, is much more about comfort than performance.<\/p>\n<p>And the best part is that, with this engine, prices now start at AED 139,207 \u2013 including VAT. Suddenly, that looks like quite good value for what is a pretty premium saloon.<\/p>\n<p>The 190 bhp Arteon is now available at showrooms across the UAE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new, base-level Volkswagen Arteon is powered by a 190 bhp 2.0-litre engine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":24561,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2864],"tags":[3109,3111,3110,3112,2595,3114,2538,3113,2774,2559,2560,2552,2551],"class_list":["post-24560","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-saloons","tag-arteon","tag-base-model","tag-base-spec","tag-basic","tag-dubai","tag-engines","tag-new-cars","tag-power","tag-saloons","tag-uae","tag-united-arab-emirates","tag-volkswagen","tag-vw"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yallacompare.com\/car-deals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24560","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yallacompare.com\/car-deals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yallacompare.com\/car-deals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yallacompare.com\/car-deals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yallacompare.com\/car-deals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24560"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/yallacompare.com\/car-deals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24560\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yallacompare.com\/car-deals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24561"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yallacompare.com\/car-deals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24560"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yallacompare.com\/car-deals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24560"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yallacompare.com\/car-deals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24560"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
