The Arteon is built in Emden, Lower Saxony, Germany.{{Cite web|url=https://www.netcarshow.com/volkswagen/2018-arteon/|title = Volkswagen Arteon (2018)}} A version for the Chinese market, called the CC, is built in Changchun, China. It is also assembled in Pekan, Malaysia.{{Cite web |date=2021-07-08 |title=2021 Volkswagen Arteon facelift a true BMW 3 Series, Merc C-Class rival?

In Europe, the Arteon initially featured three turbo direct injection engines at launch: a 2.0L 280 PS TSI petrol engine and two diesel engines with 150 PS and 240 PS. Three additional engines were introduced shortly after, the 1.5L TSI Evo petrol engine with 150 PS, as well a petrol and a diesel engine, both with 190 PS.{{Cite web|url=https://www.netcarshow.com/volkswagen/2018-arteon/|title = Volkswagen Arteon (2018)}}

In the United States, it was available in three trims—SE, SEL, and Premium—with one engine: all Arteons of 2019 will have Volkswagen's workhorse 2.0-litre turbo four, tuned to produce 268 hp and 258 lb⋅ft of torque. Power is managed by an 8-speed automatic transmission, with the choice of front- or all-wheel drive.

For the 2022 US-model, the Arteon got a powertrain upgrade which increased the power from 268 hp to 300 hp. In addition the 8-speed TipTronic-style automatic transmission has been upgraded to a 7-speed DSG transmission.

The Arteon can be fitted with an optional safety system called Emergency Assist 2.0, and it takes advantage of four existing Volkswagen safety programs: Adaptive Cruise Control, Side Assist, Lane Assist and Park Assist. The Arteon will notice if a driver has not touched the accelerator, brakes or steering wheel for a certain length of time, and it will attempt to alert the person with sounds, visual cues and even a physical brake tap. If that does not work, Emergency Assist 2.0 takes over: the car's hazard lights switch on and it steers itself to a safe nearside lane. The system uses Lane Assist to recognize lines on the road and Park Assist to actually steer the car. Radar detection via Adaptive Cruise Control and Side Assist helps ensure the Arteon will not hit any other vehicles.{{Cite web |date=2017-05-09 |title=How VW's Arteon keeps you alive if you pass out while driving |url=https://www.engadget.com/2017-05-09-vw-arteon-self-driving-tech-pass-out-emergency-assist.html |access-date=2023-12-13 |website=Engadget |language=en-US}}
