In a world dominated by SUVs, the luxury saloon is often forgotten. Even the estate, once the lifeblood of families and travelling salesman, are now being superseded by SUV or crossover models.
The Volkswagen Arteon R Shooting Brake isn’t officially an estate model (though it is listed in that category on VW’s website). The term shooting brake is traditionally given to two-seater estate cars, or estate versions of coupes rather than saloons or sedans. The Arteon Shooting Brake is a four-door car but it’s certainly sportier looking than a standard estate shape. The roof slopes down more but still has estate-like properties, leaving you with lots more luggage room.
