The successor to the A4 Avant wagon will likely be classified an A5 Avant under a new naming strategy at Audi.
Inside, expect an uncluttered dash topped by a single panel comprising both the instrument cluster and infotainment system. It should also have an advanced head-up display with augmented-reality elements on offer.
Underpinning the vehicle should be an updated version of parent company Volkswagen Group's MLB Evo platform found in the current A4 and A5 range, meaning longitudinal mounting of engines and standard front-wheel drive. Expect all powertrains to be electrified, either with mild-hybrid or plug-in hybrid technology. It isn't clear whether diesel engines will be offered, though some might be in markets where the fuel is still popular.
For the future electric A4, Audi will use the PPE platform which was developed by Audi in partnership with fellow VW Group brand Porsche. The PPE platform debuts this year in an, and will eventually spawn multiple EVs across the VW Group brand portfolio. Look for the A5 Avant to debut later this year. It should be followed shortly by the A5 Sportback, with both arriving as 2025 models.
Count on only the A5 Sportback reaching the U.S., though an Allroad soft-roader version of the A5 Avant could potentially reach these shores as a replacement for the current A4 Allroad.
