Performance, power and 0-100 km/h
Both cars record the same 0-100 km/h time of 5.6 seconds. 2025 Lexus IS 350 F Sport has the higher listed output at 311 hp; 2024 Volkswagen Arteon 2.0 TSI R-Line 4MOTION is rated at 280 hp, a difference of 31 hp. The torque figures follow 2025 Lexus IS 350 F Sport at 380 Nm and 2024 Volkswagen Arteon 2.0 TSI R-Line 4MOTION at 350 Nm. These figures describe straight-line potential only; they do not establish braking performance, ride quality, steering response or durability under repeated hard use.
Range, battery, charging and efficiency
2024 Volkswagen Arteon 2.0 TSI R-Line 4MOTION has the lower recorded consumption at 7.9 L/100km; 2025 Lexus IS 350 F Sport is listed at 9.6 L/100km. Test cycle, temperature, wheel size and charging conditions can materially affect these results, so only figures measured on the same basis should be treated as directly comparable.
Dimensions, cargo space and towing
2024 Volkswagen Arteon 2.0 TSI R-Line 4MOTION provides the larger quoted cargo volume: 563 litres versus 480 litres, a difference of 83 litres. 2024 Volkswagen Arteon 2.0 TSI R-Line 4MOTION is 152 mm longer overall. Exterior size is not a benefit by itself: a longer body may create useful room, but cargo shape, rear-seat space and ease of parking still require a physical inspection.
Price and overall assessment
2025 Lexus IS 350 F Sport has the lower listed starting price at $43,150, compared with $44,000 for 2024 Volkswagen Arteon 2.0 TSI R-Line 4MOTION. 2025 Lexus IS 350 F Sport leads in more of the shared headline fields, but that is not a universal verdict: a buyer should weight price, performance, range and utility rather than simply count category wins. The assessment is based on the specifications shown here; it is not presented as a two-car road test.
