**Audi Reveals Sporty New A5/S5 with an Emphasis on Design**
Audi recently unveiled the latest generation of the A5, marking a transition from the A4 to emphasize a sleeker, more dynamic design. The German automaker has combined the sharp design language and dynamic proportions of the previous A4 and A5 models to create a visually striking vehicle.
**Plenty of Power Under the Hood**
Powering the new A5 is a robust 2.0L TFSI 4-cylinder engine, delivering 268 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The upgraded S5 model boasts a 3.0L TFSI V6 engine with an impressive 362 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. Both variants come equipped with a 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission that channels power to Audi’s renowned quattro all-wheel-drive system.
Audi has also improved the road feel of the A5 and S5 with enhanced steering response and handling characteristics. The direct mounting of the steering rack to the body and the utilization of a stiffer torsion bar contribute to a more engaging driving experience. Additionally, revisions to the front suspension and handling components facilitate quicker steering inputs.
**Canyon-Carving Capabilities**
The A5 excels in handling tight corners, thanks to features like rear-biased anti-roll stabilization and brake torque vectoring. The sportier S5 model offers an optional adaptive S sport suspension with electronic damper control and three driving modes. With a lower ride height compared to the A5, the S5 provides a more aggressive driving experience.
**Emphasis on Design**
Audi has placed a significant focus on the aesthetics of the new A5. The vehicle is longer, wider, and taller than its predecessor, boasting rearward-sweeping bodylines that culminate in a lip spoiler atop the shortened trunk lid. The front grille features a larger honeycomb design, while the rear showcases a light strip spanning the width of the car along with an integrated diffuser, enhancing its sporty appeal.
**Tech-Focused Interior**
The interior of the A5 and S5 models offers a blend of functionality and technology. Featuring an 11.9-inch cluster and a 14.5-inch MMI infotainment screen, the cabin is a tech lover’s delight. An optional 10.9-inch MMI front-passenger display and dynamic interaction light (IAL) further enhance the futuristic ambiance. Audi also offers Bang & Olufsen Premium sound systems with 3D sound and up to 810 watts of power.
**Final Thoughts**
The 2025 Audi A5 and S5 are set to hit U.S. dealerships in the second quarter of 2025, with a starting MSRP of $47,700 plus $1,295 for destination and delivery. With an emphasis on design, performance, and technology, the latest Audi models promise a thrilling driving experience for enthusiasts.
