Hello, automobile enthusiasts, and specifically, lovers of Audi. Welcome to Mozans, your upcoming automotive job board and vehicle blogs. Today we’re going to explore the exciting news that Audi has for us. Concerning their A series and more. Let’s speak about something baffling yet exciting: the new Audi A5 family. Audi’s recent release has sparked some uncertainty. It appears that they have released a new A4, however it is not the A4. It’s the A5. And the A5, which was once a coupe, is now available in both estate and sedan body styles. Or is it a saloon? Let’s figure out this riddle together!
Overview.
Audi has unveiled their new A5 family, featuring a sporty S5, an estate, and a sedan. Yes, the A5 lineup now includes an estate version and a sedan (which looks quite hatchback-like). If you’re as confused as I am, don’t worry—let’s dive in and see what this is all about.
The new A5 car is somewhat different from the previous version at first sight. The form is more rounded, and the rear haunches are evocative of the rear arches of the previous RS 4, which was modeled after the Quattro rally vehicle. Let’s take a closer look. It combines contemporary style with vintage.
What’s New Of The Audi A5.
The new A5 is built on Audi’s new Premium Platform Combustion (PPC). This isn’t just a facelift; it’s an entirely new model. Interestingly, Audi is differentiating their internal combustion engine (ICE) models with odd numbers (A5, A7) and their electrified models with even numbers (A4, A6). The new A5 is larger than its predecessor, providing a sporty and athletic design foundation.
Exterior Design Of The New Audi A5.
The new A5 and S5 models embody Audi’s sporty design DNA. The car looks long and sleek, with a long wheelbase, huge wheels, a long bonnet, flared fenders, and sculpted blisters over the wheel arches. The design features a shallow greenhouse that sits far back on the body, giving it a dynamic stance even when stationary.
The front architecture is all new, with a low and wide honeycomb grille, flanked by slim and precisely designed headlights. The rear end is dynamic, with a sharp edge that pronounces the car’s width, complemented by a full-width LED light stripe.
Interior Design.
The interiors of Audi vehicles are typically a feature, and the latest A5 is no exception. A panoramic curved Audi MMI display with OLED and Alltech technology and a two-tone look are two aspects of the new interior design concept. The MMI passenger display is integrated into the digital stage that stretches towards the passenger side.
The climate control buttons are incorporated into the screen of a newer head-up display that has greater features. The upgraded voice control system and audio system raise the bar for in-car technology. With chat GPT integration, Audi even hinted at some AI capability that would improve the system’s responsiveness and intuitiveness.
Engines and Performance.
The new Audi A5 lineup is only available with internal combustion engines. You can choose between a 2.0L 4-cylinder petrol engine with either 150 or 204 horsepower, both with a 7-speed dual-clutch auto gearbox. The more powerful version is available with Quattro all-wheel drive.
Audi also offers a new 204-horsepower 2.0L diesel with a mild hybrid system. This system uses an electric motor in the gearbox to drive the car at low speeds, improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions.
For those craving more power, the S5 comes with a 3.0L turbocharged V6 petrol engine producing 367 horsepower, thanks to the mild hybrid system. It can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 4.5 seconds, slightly quicker than the previous S4.
Price and Release Date.
Orders for the new A5 will be accepted beginning in August, with delivery scheduled to begin in November. The entry-level sedan (hatchback) is priced at £42,000 ($54,259.39 when converted to USD), while the estate is around £2,000 more expensive. The fully equipped S5 will set you back £68,000 ($87,849.00 when converted to USD); less costly models will be available in the future.
There you have it, then! With its innovative options, technologies, and designs, the new Audi A5 range is redefining the automotive landscape. The new A5 range offers options for those seeking a fast ride, an estate, or a sedan that resembles a hatchback. Watch this space for additional reviews and updates!
