2025 Audi A5: pricing and specification

Audi has confirmed the pricing and specification of the new A5 saloon and avant, which replace the brand's existing A4 models.

The move aligns the model with Audi's new naming structure. Even numbers stand for electrically powered models, odd numbers for vehicles with combustion engines.

Pricing starts at £41,950 for the saloon and £43,850 for the avant.

Initially, the A5 will be offered with mild-hybrid petrol and diesel engines. It will sit between new fully electric A4 and A6 models.

A plug-in hybrid version is also billed for launch, in 2025.

The A5 sits on an all-new platform, developed specifically for combustion engine cars.

The engine line up includes a 2.0-litre petrol with 150PS or 204PS. There will also be a 2.0-litre diesel with 204PS. Petrol models only come with front-wheel-drive, while the diesel can be specified with Quattro all-wheel-drive. 

The S5 will use a 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine. All variants are equipped with 48-volt mild hybrid technology.

CO2 emissions and fuel consumption data will be published in November, when the car will be available in the UK.

Despite it's new underpinnings, Audi has retained a familiar exterior design for the new A5. It does adopt new flush-fitting door handles, like the recently-launched Q6 e-tron.

The A5 saloon features a hatchback, like the outgoing A5 Sportback, rather than the A4's less-practical boot.

The car has grown in length and width, with a larger wheelbase contributing to greater interior space.

On the inside, the A5 is considerably different to its predecessor. It adopts Audi's new dashboard architecture, which includes a 14.5-inch cental touchscreen and a virtual cockpit display that are combined into a panoramic panel. Most of the physical switchgear has been removed, with key functions integrated into the screen and other functions moved to a touch-sensitive panel on the driver's door.

Audi will offer the A5 in Sport, S line and Edition 1 specification, while the S5 Saloon and Avant will be offered exclusively in Edition 1 form.

Sport versions come with leather upholstery, LED headlights, adaptive cruise control, heated front seats, front and rear parking sensors, a reversing camera and a powered tailgate.

S Line versions are marked out externally with specific exterior styling details, privacy glass and an upgrade from the Sport model’s 18-inch wheels to a 19-inch design. Inside, a new three-spoke multifunction steering wheel complements the ‘S’-embossed sport seats, stainless steel pedals, matt brushed aluminium inlays, illuminated aluminium ‘S’ door sill inserts and a black headlining.

Range-topping Edition 1 adds 20-inch Audi Sport alloy wheels, red brake callipers and a black styling pack. Technology gains include Matrix LED headlights, an additional 10.9-inch MMI front passenger display, keyless entry and 360-degree camera.
