None of these complaints mention crashes, fires, injuries, or fatalities. While the low complaint and recall figures are notable, the complete absence of crash-test data precludes any assessment of this vehicle's crashworthiness.

ANALYSISHow safe is the 2022 Volkswagen Arteon Sel Premium R-Line?
For the 2022 Arteon SEL Premium R-Line, the federal recall and owner complaint record places it squarely in the Clean burden band. This rating is based on zero federal recalls and a notably low volume of four unverified owner complaints. An interesting pattern emerges within these complaints: five of the nine component citations across those four reports relate directly to active-safety technology, specifically Forward Collision Avoidance and Lane Departure systems. This concentration suggests that owner feedback for this model year tends to focus on the performance of driver-assistance features rather than issues with structural integrity or the powertrain. As no other model years of the Arteon are present in our crash-test database, there is no broader crash-test context available. While the Clean burden band is a positive indicator for its federal recall and complaint history, it does not provide crash-test performance data.
