    Although less expensive than the A5 Sportback, the Arteon aims to crack the same premium market the Audi occupies.

    The stylish four-door coupe has a seven-speed DSG gearbox and four-wheel drive as standard.

    The newest A5 Sportback isn't worlds apart from the previous generation styling, but nonetheless we still like the looks.

    The engine in the Arteon is more powerful than the V6 found in the A5. It produces 237bhp compared to the 215bhp of the Audi.

    Putting the pedal to the metal will result in a 0-60mph time of 6.1 seconds, 0.2 seconds quicker than the Audi.
