Audi introduces new Black Edition and Vorsprung models

Audi has introduced two new trim levels to its UK model range dubbed Black Edition and Vorsprung. Both are available across a variety of the manufacturer's current models, adding upgraded infotainment and additional styling details to both the interior and exterior.

The new Black Edition trim complements the popular Audi S Line trim and can be specced on the A3, S3, A4, A5, Q2, Q5, Q7, and TT. For the Q2, Q5 and A5 models, Black Edition adds 19-inch or 20-inch alloy wheels (depending on the exact model) a flat-bottomed multifunction sports steering wheel, rear privacy glass and a choice of matte or gloss black exterior trim parts.

The Vorsprung package is available on the A5, A7, Q3, Q5, Q7 and Q8 models and builds on the extras found in the Black Edition, adding upgraded Matrix LED headlights and larger 20-inch, 21-inch or 22-inch alloy wheels, depending on the model.
