- Audi published the details of the US-Market 2025 A5 sedan which replaces the outgoing A4.
- The four -door liftback starts at $ 48,995, against $ 45,395, including destination costs.
- The A5s are delivered with a four turbocharger of 2.0 liters 268 hp, while the S5 obtain a 3.0 -liter V6 making 362 hp.
The A5 replaced A4 in the Audi compact sedan range in the middle of the 2025 model year, and this is not the only cultivated number. He has the same with the one after the dollar sign. The new model starts at $ 48,995, including destination fees of $ 1,295, or $ 3,600 more than the A4 cost.
On the other hand, the new A5 is a more painful $ 2,400 more than the Sportback 2024 A5 sedan, which the new car also replaces, and is technically closer in the concept.

The two Fives have rear Liftback and a sports fastback style while the A4 – which is always available on the Audi website, from $ 45,395 – is a traditional notch sedan. A wagon variant is offered in Europe, but not in the United States.
Like the A4, the new A5 comes with a four 2.0 -liter four turbocharger and drives the four wheels through a double clutch transmission. But instead of 261 hp (265 PS) and 273 LB-PI (370 Nm) of torque, the A5 pump 268 hp (272 PS) and 295 LB-PI (400 Nm). Despite the additional muscle, the new car is slower than the old one: time from zero to 60 mph (96 km / h) increased from 5.2 to 5.6 seconds.
Almost 370 hp for S5
The S5 more focused on performance exchange Les Quatre for a V6 and manufactures a 362 hp (367 PS) and 406 LB-PI (550 Nm), those which appear from the 349 hp of the old S4 (354 PS) and 369 LB-FF (500 nm).
In addition to growing in power, the new A5s and S5 take more road. They are 2.6 inches (66 mm) longer and 0.5 inch wider (13 mm) than the A4 and 2.8 inch (71 mm) of additional legs means more space inside the cabin.
Audi has so far only revealed the starting price of $ 48,995 and not the cost of each model in the range. But we know that premium, premium plus and prestige garnishes will be available, the upper notes obtaining the possibility of the new digital DRLS and customizable Audi rear lights.
Other new techy options include a 10.9 inch passenger screen and the dynamic interaction light (IAL), an LED strip crossing the dashboard which is supposed to give the pilot’s clues to things such as the door locking and signal status.
Audi indicates that the full range A5 and S5 will be available in American dealers before the end of the second quarter. It will be followed in a short time by replacing the A6, which was to obtain the name A7, according to the strategy adopted by Audi for the A5 in which electric cars would obtain numbers and combustion cars. But due to the customer’s confusion, this strategy has been abandoned and the A6 replacement will keep the same name as the current model.
