While the VW CC had a cult following and fans are sad to see it go, Volkswagen is hoping that another premium concept vehicle will have an even bigger fan base. The new concept car is called the Arteon, a portmanteau of “Art” and “Eon”, which VW will use to designate its premium models, and it will replace the CC and the Phaeton (which never got beyond the concept stage).

Design-wise, the Arteon will feature a “highly expressive, horizontally accentuated brand look”, frameless windows, 19” alloy wheels, LED Matrix headlights, a roomy trunk, and an active information dashboard with a head-up display.

The concept will premiere at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2017.
