One of the competitors of the VW Arteon is the Nissan Altima. See the advantages that the Arteon has over the Altima in this 2019 Volkswagen Arteon vs 2019 Nissan Altima comparison.

The Arteon delivers better performance. All Arteon models come equipped with the robust 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder TSI engine, which doles out 268 horsepower. The base-level 2.5-liter 4-cylinder Direct Injection Gasoline engine in the Altima only manages only 188 horsepower, while its available 2.0-liter VC-Turbo 4-cylinder engine generates 248 horsepower. Performance for the Arteon is also aided by its DCC adaptive chassis control feature, with settings for Sport, Comfort, and Normal.
