The torque figures follow 2025 Audi A7 45 TFSI quattro S line at 370 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
2025 Audi A7 45 TFSI quattro S line has the lower recorded consumption at 7.8 L/100km; 2024 Volkswagen Arteon 2.0 TSI R-Line 4MOTION is listed at 7.9 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 535 litres, a difference of 28 litres. 2025 Audi A7 45 TFSI quattro S line is 107 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.
