2025 3rd Generation Audi A5 / S5

Carbon82 · July 16

This is the replacement model for the aging A4 (yes, you read it correctly, no typo). So is the A4 dead? Why not really. The reason for the new name plate has to do with Audi's new name strategy, where odd number are reserved for ICE model (petrol and hybrid) such as A3, A5, A7, Q3, Q5, Q7, while BEV will be allocated with even numbers, such as the new Q4 and Q6 e-Tron, got it?

The new A5 comes with a fresh look, updated tech, and a pair of perky ICE engines that Audi hopes will keep drivers happy no matter their budget. The base model has a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that sends 268 horsepower to all four wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Variable turbine geometry for the turbocharger up the engine’s efficiency (actual fuel economy figures are TBD).

The new S5 has a turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 sending 362 hp to all four wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch. It's the first time Audi has used this transmission in an S5. Its Quattro all-wheel-drive system is hooked up to a Quattro sport differential with torque vectoring.

It's the first of many cars to use Audi’s shiny new Premium Platform Combustion architecture, which is set up for front- or all-wheel drive, as well as straight-up gas or hybrid powertrains. Let see how the new A4 looks like in a few weeks time.

Audi wagons always look good at the expense of cargo space.

I am keeping my boxy old wagon for the space.

You have a point. The gentle sloping rear roof line seems more like an extended shooting brake than a real wagon

Unless there is electronic rear-viewed, the roof line doesn’t affect cargo capacity

The depth and width of the rear boot most likely not affected, but the height opening of the rear tailgate may be lower. If you need to transport taller items such as a small bedside cabinet from IKEA, sometimes cannot fit in. I used to have an Alfa 159 Sportwagon a long time ago, have the same problem 😅 But that car is sexy!
