World premiere of the all new Audi A5 and S5 Coupe

Nine years after it established itself as a modern day Audi design icon, the all new Audi A5 Coupe has undergone both a technological transformation and a styling evolution that brings it up to date and introduces a fresh, contemporary look while still retaining the graceful presence and elegant character of the original.

The new Audi A5 Coupe sports a modern and honed look, with a wave-shaped shoulder line that already characterised the previous model, as well as the sweeping line with pronounced bulges over the wheel arches that emphasises all four wheels. The muscular presence of the new A5 Coupe is underscored by the long bonnet, the stretched wheelbase and short overhangs. The sculpted Singleframe grille is significantly flatter and wider than in the previous model. The LED taillights and optional LED or Matrix LED head lights with dynamic turn signals make high-end technology visible even after dark.

The A5 Coupe is being launched with five engine options, with power output increased considerably and is now between 187bhp to 282bhp. Compared with the previous model, they offer up to 17 percent more performance while consuming as much as 22 percent less fuel. With its newly developed 3.0 TFSI, the Audi S5 Coupe is now in a league of its own. The turbo V6 exhibits highly efficient, sports car performance, producing 349bhp power, which is 21bhp more than the engine in the previous model.

The new Audi A5 Coupe comes with a drivetrain solution tailor-made for each engine variant. The manual six-speed gearbox and the seven-speed S tronic are used with the four-cylinder engines as well as the 215bhp 3.0 TDI with front or all-wheel drive (AWD). The eight-speed tiptronic is reserved for the top diesel with 286bhp and the S5 engine. Both engines come standard with quattro AWD. Audi also offers the optional rear-axle sport differential for even more dynamic driving and precision.

The interior benefits from the increased dimensions and longer wheelbase, offering more space for the driver and passengers. High-quality materials in a wide range of colours underscore the premium character of the mid-sized model. The luggage compartment offers a volume of 465 litres, 10 litres more than with the previous model. The A5 Coupe is now available for the first time with the optional Audi virtual cockpit, a 12.3-inch TFT display. Together with the MMI navigation plus including a 8.3-inch monitor on the centre console, it forms the central information unit.  

An intelligent combination of different technologies enhances the safety, comfort and efficiency of the new A5 Coupe. At the same time, Audi is also taking the next step toward piloted driving. The broad choice of innovative driver assistance systems sets standards in the segment. The predictive efficiency assistant helps the driver save fuel, Audi active lane assist helps keep the car on track in the driving lane, and the Stop&Go adaptive cruise control including traffic jam assist offers the driver relief in slow-moving traffic. New and important safety features include the park assist, cross traffic assist rear, exit warning, collision avoidance assist and turn assist as well as the Audi pre-sense systems. Camera-based recognition of traffic signs rounds out the lineup.
