On the technological aspect, the Arteon will come standard with a heated steering wheel, Dynamic Road Sign Display, and IQ. DRIVE driver assistance technology. On the exterior also it has put up a little bit of makeup, like the new IQ. DRIVE 20-inch wheels to SEL R-Line models and the 20-inch wheels and black carbon trim combined with ambient lighting to SEL Premium R-Line Models.
The Atlas got similar updates to the Arteon, in addition to other commodities like the new 10.25-inch screen for the SE model. The Atlas will also get some engine upgrades, namely the new VR6 engine for SE models.

electric ID. 4 is getting its fair share of modifications as well, recent development state that the company is going for a slightly cheaper model with reduced performance stats, just to keep it competitive in the EV market.
