Two German machines meet each other in the gladiatorial death pit today for our model showdown. The competitors are the 2019 Volkswagen Arteon, an premium sedan billed by VW as a work of “modern art you can really feel.” On the opposing side is the 2019 BMW 3 Series Sedan, a luxury small car fully redesigned for the current model year.
BMW is as longstanding maker of luxury sedans. But Volkswagen brings a shockingly fresh touch to the segment with its model. It’s already garnered swaths of acclaim for elements like its voluminous cargo space and high-tech available features.
Two cars enter the ring. But only one can come out alive. Which will emerge victorious between the 2019 Volkswagen Arteon and 2019 BMW 3 Series Sedan? Read on for the bloody details.

The 2019 BMW 3 Series Sedan, in addition to boasting a starting price nearly $5,000 higher than the 2019 Volkswagen Arteon, suffers from some inconsistent infotainment technology. The quality of its interior also does not quite live up to that of other class members. On top of this, the base engine gets a horsepower rating 20 notches below that of the 2019 Arteon.
The 2019 Volkswagen Arteon is loaded throughout with advanced tech. Its design strikes a healthy balance between comfortable ride quality and enticing agility. The liftback design provides access to a cargo hold far beyond that offered by the 2019 BMW 3 Series Sedan.
It’s hard to compete with America’s Best Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty. Volkswagen brings this warranty to the table again for the 2019 Volkswagen Arteon, ensuring long-lasting coverage for its owners. Specifically, it stays good for two years or 22,000 miles longer than the warranty of the 2019 BMW 3 Series Sedan.
