Renamed saloon and estate get electrified engines plus big upgrade to in-cabin tech
The new Audi A5 has been unveiled as the upmarket replacement for today’s A4, introducing a new combustion-car platform and a range of heavily revised engines. The name change comes as part of the German firm’s new branding strategy for its next-generation models, with ICE cars taking odd numbers and EVs even numbers. The A5 will be offered in saloon and estate forms but not, Audi has confirmed, as a coupé or a cabriolet.
Visually, the A5 is clearly an evolution of the A4, with a smooth-edged design that borrows cues from the A6 E-tron saloon EV concept shown three years ago. Key to the look are flared wheel arches that the designers refer to as ‘Quattro muscle’. The new OLED front and rear lights can display eight patterns apiece and have a Dynamic mode that continually changes what’s displayed. The A4’s false exhaust tips have been ditched in response to customer feedback.
