Looking at Audi’s official webpage reveals that the A5 Sportback can be had from € 42,900 in its home market, while the larger and more luxurious A7 Sportback has a starting price of € 58,350 . For the MSRP of the limited edition Arteon, you could also get a new RS3 Sportback, or even two A3 Sedans.
Money situation aside, the successor of the CC comes in an exclusive two-tone Moonstone Grey paint finish, features a black roof and sits on 20-inch Rosario alloy wheels. The rear privacy glass completes the look on the outside and is joined by Nappa leather in the cabin, ambient lighting and a generous list of standard gear. Heated front and outer rear seats, navigation system, voice control, DAB+ digital radio, digital instrument cluster, Wireless App-Connect and others are also included.
A host of safety systems equip the car, such as the Area View, Park Assist, Dynamic Road Sign Display, Side Assist, Autonomous Emergency Braking Front Assist, Adaptive Distance Control and Dynamic Light Assist. Meanwhile, the adaptive chassis control DCC is standard with the top two engines and available for the rest of the lineup.
The Arteon R-Line Edition can be bought with 2.0-liter TSI petrol and TDI diesel engines, each one making 190 PS. The 240 PS TDI and 272 PS TSI units are also available, along with the company’s 4Motion all-wheel drive system.
