2021 Volkswagen Arteon for Sale near Arlington, VA

2021 Volkswagen Arteon hown with available features.
If your current set of wheels isn't providing the verve you crave, it may be time to graduate onto something new. The Volkswagen Arteon is a large sedan that is anything but ordinary, and the 2021 iteration is idling at Pohanka Volkswagen of Capitol Heights right now! When you visit our location for a test drive, be sure to ask about your financing and leasing options to see which route works best for you.
Exterior
Since the outer shell of the 2021 Arteon is the first aspect of this ride you'll notice, let us start our overview by observing the athletic lines and sporty shape. Gracing the front end is the sleek grille that proudly displays the VW logo at the very center. On each side are LED headlights, which will help you lead the way with full clarity during your nighttime drives. A sunroof is available on this 4-door car, which is a great way to let in a cool breeze when you decide to take the crew out for a spontaneous excursion. And with sophisticated paint jobs like Kings Red Metallic or Deep Black Pearl, you'll shine with confidence!
Performance
The 2021 Volkswagen Arteon is more than just a work of art in motion. When the rubber hits the road, you'll rocket to your next destination with a pristine 268 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque under your belt. This is all thanks to the standard 2.0L TSI® turbocharged engine, which is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission that contributes to smooth gear shifts. Don't think all of this gusto will send you straight to the pump, because an estimated 22/32 MPG city/hwy1 fuel economy rating will get you where you need to be in an efficient and timely manner! Although FWD does come standard on this set of wheels, you can opt for the available 4MOTION® AWD system for more control when you encounter slick terrains or wet roads. Whether your commutes are during the summer or winter, this ride is prepared for it all.
Safety
Despite being immensely stylish and powerful, the Volkswagen Arteon aims to keep you protected above all aspects. The condition of your tires is a key contributor to the efficiency of your ride and its overall performance, which is why the Tire Pressure Monitoring System is standard across the board. This feature informs you when your air levels are low so that they can be tended to immediately to avoid blowouts. Electronic Stability Control is also equipped, which adjusts engine throttle and can apply corrective steering so that you can maintain your composure in various situations. Lastly, choose available Active Side Assist2 to help you out when you're driving alongside other vehicles on Washington Boulevard to ensure that you won't bump into anyone when switching lanes.

“ I had a great experience working with LJ! He was incredibly kind, professional, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. He got me in and out quickly while making sure all of my questions were answered. I really appreciate all of his help and couldn’t be happier with my experience. I’m so excited and grateful to be driving my very first Jeep. ”
“ Buying from this place was straightforward and easy. Lavelton was friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend buying from here if you're in the market. ”

“ The staff was very personal and very helpful ”
“ I always have a great experience at Pohanka VW Capital Heights! I appreciate the text videos of my service, the follow up calls, and how the staff really listen to you. Shout out to Andrea for always being friendly and knowledgeable. ”
“ First dealership where I've never had to make an appointment. Great customer service. ”
“ Andrea is great! ”
“ Over the span of several years, I have purchased 6 cars from Pohanka Volkswagen! I think that says it all! ”
“ This was the first visit to have complimentary service oil change. It was very good service and surprisingly fast. I really liked that the mechanic working on my car sent a video of what was done. I have brought different cars over the years and that was never done⭐️ ”
“ I had an amazing experience with this dealership from my saleswoman to the gentleman working in the finance office, they were both very helpful and respectful! ”
“ Great service ”

“ LJ and team were great! I told him what I wanted and that I didn’t want all the back and forth! He made it happen! Super excited about my purchase! Highly recommend ”
“ I’m not even sure where to begin, but I’ll start with this: I’ve been going through something incredibly difficult. I had to rebuild fast. I researched, I asked questions, and I walked into Pohanka VW hoping for even a small win. What I got was three people who treated me with respect, patience, and genuine care. DeMarco was the first person who didn’t rush me, pressure me, or dismiss me when I was nervous and overshared for 2 days prior. He listened. He slowed things down. He made space for me to breathe. LJ was calm, steady, and kind — even when I tried to haggle (not my strength!). He never made me feel silly or out of place. He just guided me through it. And Zach in finance… he worked magic. He showed me my real credit score, walked me through every detail, and somehow got me the best VW package and LoJack. He made sure my kids and I were protected and set up for success. These three didn’t just make a sale. They went above and beyond because they could see I genuinely needed support. They could have let me walk away, but instead they worked to get me the best outcome possible. To LJ, DeMarco, and Zach — thank you. Truly. The time you spent with me before the purchase and today meant more than you realize. My kids and I are safe, stable, and back on our feet because of the way you showed up. Blessed and grateful. 10 outta 5 Stars ”
“ I worked with John Pinkney on identifying the right fit for me and my family. He was thorough in sharing the best of what VW has to offer. Great sales consultant! ”
“ Very personable and accommodating staff, from sales, to manager, to finance manager. We were able to find a car that fit our needs and style. Would recommend. ”
“ The salesman was very helpful and understanding. He was able to meet my needs and found a great vehicle that was fitting for me. Lastly, he was patient kind and informational. ”
“ Good services but when I got the car back after the tire change all the caps were missing and had to tell them to put them back on. Other than that everything was good. ”
“ It’s a nice place,the only thing I don’t like,they don’t wash or clean the car after an oil change or any maintenance,I used to go to other place they always was your car for you after any maintenance. ”
“ They sold me a 2025 BMW M2 telling me it had high flow cats and a previous piggy back system. After having transmission issues it turns out the car is completely catless, full blown tuned, and I have no manufacturers warranty due to the full tune/unlocked ECU. The BMW dealership is charging me $16,000 and change to replace said transmission, and my manufacturers warranty is gone due to the previous owner. Kevin Pohanka was nice enough to tell me to pound sand over the phone and didn’t want to offer any help of negotiations stating the sale “as is” which doesn’t apply when they break federal laws. Avoid this roach nest by all means possible, unless legal battles are something that get you going. ”
“ A nightmare experience dealing with this particular dealership. I have always driven Volkswagen besides a brief stint with Lexus. I came to Pohanka after years of being with Karen Radley in Woodbridge and I can say the quality of service and competence lacks significantly at Pohanka. I went in purchase my lease vehicle this morning and they could not clearly define or articulate what the list of fees were related to. They’ve either been poorly trained or miseducated to give a blanket answer of “those are Maryland state imposed fees”. A simple Google search will clearly tell you which dealer fees are required by the state which are elected by the dealer with legal limits. There were vague “obligatory fees” and all they did was pass responsibility for explaining those fees to VW Credit who in turn said the dealer should be the one to outline the reason for those fees. I never got a clear answer on why I was paying an additional “outstanding obligations fee” when I’ve never been late, missed a payment or ignored a fine. A monkey in the middle tactic that has you bouncing back and forth for a simple answer. The staff at the dealership could have called the dealer service line to get the necessary information but opted for the well known salesman run around to waste your time instead of just closing the deal with a buyer who was obviously ready to get the deal done if they could lay out clear financing numbers and terms. This is the 3rd time I’ve have issues with this particular dealership and their deceptive tactics or poor customer care. I also, had to pay to have the vehicle certified preowned for the purchase according to the dealership though it was a waste since I will not be purchasing anything from them after the interaction with the sales staff this morning. Very disappointed but can’t say it wasn’t expected. Go anywhere but to Pohanka. Lack of professionalism, transparency and integrity! ”
“ Brutal experience. Was working with a salesperson (and apparently a manager) who put an offer in on my vehicle. Drive the 40 minutes to the dealership for a full appraisal, only to told they don't purchase vehicles there and I had wasted my time coming down. ”
“ The drop off and evaluation was extremely long The took an hour to verify my warranty Had to leave the car I was not able to get a rental or loaner to get home Had to get an uber to get home Car was promised for Monday and was not ready until Thursday Not a pleasant experience ”
