PERFORMANCE -MORE FUEL-EFFICIENT!
The Volkswagen Arteon can earn up to 30 miles per gallon on Connecticut highways between Guilford, CT and Middletown, CT. The Kia Stinger is not as fuel-efficient, only earning 29 highway miles per gallon, and models powered by the thirsty twin-turbocharged V6 engine are rated for 17/24 (city/highway) miles per gallon. The Acura TLX - maxing out at 29 miles per gallon - also offers a turbocharged V6 rated for 19/25 miles per gallon. Commuters from Old Saybrook and Waterford, CT, are choosing the new Volkswagen Arteon as their fuel-efficient mid-size sedan!
The Volkswagen Arteon's 2.0-liter TSI® turbocharged engine produces 300 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The Kia Stinger's base 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine matches the VW Arteon's horsepower output at 300 ponies. The Acura TLX's base engine - a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder - only produces 272 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, trailing well behind the VW Arteon.
Driving the Kia Stinger doesn't deliver as much of a nuance feel as German rivals like the Volkswagen Arteon, which provides better handling on Old Saybrook roads and Coastal Connecticut highways with an XDS® Cross Differential System and DCC adaptive chassis control. These performance features aren't offered on rival mid-size sedans.
Competing sedans offer all-wheel drive like the VW Arteon does with 4MOTION® all-wheel drive. However, every Arteon comes with all-wheel drive as standard equipment for exceptional grip and performance. Volkswagen's sedan has a more advanced transmission, with a seven-speed DSG® automatic, giving Old Saybrook VW Arteon owners smooth shifting ability.
