About the model

The C5 generation was produced from 1997 to 2004 in sedan and Avant wagon formats, introducing an aerodynamic silhouette, multi-link suspension, and a wide array of V6 and V8 engines paired with quattro drive.

The third generation C6 was built from 2004 to 2011, incorporating the iconic Singleframe grille, the MMI infotainment system, and direct-injection petrol engines while retaining both sedan and wagon variants.

Generation four C7 from 2011 to 2018 and generation five C8 from 2018 to 2024 maintained the two traditional body styles, introducing lightweight composite structures, dual-touchscreen cockpits, and mild-hybrid technology.

The sixth generation C9 entered production in 2024 as a sedan and wagon, carrying forward the executive lineage with advanced electronic driver aids and electrified powertrains.
