The 2019 Volkswagen Arteon has earned top ratings for multiple elements, including crash prevention.

Oct. 9, 2019—Despite earning top marks for front crash prevention and crashworthiness, the 2019 Volkswagen Arteon missed out on a 2019 safety award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
The Arteon earns good crashworthiness ratings in driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests.
All three of the Arteon’s available headlight options rate poor, however. Its base headlights — static LED projectors — earn the rating largely because of deficiencies in visibility. Its other two systems — curve adaptive LED projectors with and without high-beam assist — rate poor due to excessive glare. Headlights are evaluated for both visibility and glare because glare can reduce visibility for other road users.
