Have you heard? Audi’s iconic model A4 (the car, not the paper size) has finally concluded its legacy. Audi has streamlined its lineup by merging the A4 and A5 into a single model, the all-new 2025 A5. So yeah, there’s no more A4. It’s just the A5 as far as the Audi mid-size category goes.
Anyhoo, this streamlining results in a mid-size luxury sedan that’s longer, wider, and packed with more tech than ever, all while keeping all-wheel drive as standard and the oh-la-la factor alive. It looks good. Really good. But what’s even better is, it is an ICE vehicle. Ah, the good’ol days…
Under the hood, the A5 runs on a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder delivering 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque, while the S5 steps up with a 3.0L V6 producing 362 hp and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm). Both pair with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, ensuring power gets to the road smoothly.
Inside, Audi’s “Digital Stage” takes center stage—literally. The A5 features an 11.9-inch virtual cockpit, a 14.5-inch MMI touchscreen, and an optional 10.9-inch passenger display, making buttons a thing of the past. The AI-powered Audi assistant now understands natural language, so adjusting settings is as simple as speaking.
Audi’s signature lighting has also leveled up, with eight customizable LED daytime running light signatures and OLED taillights that adjust based on driving mode. It’s not just about looking sleek; it’s about making an entrance.
The 2025 Audi A5 lineup arrives in dealerships before Q2 2025, with pricing starting at US$47,700 (excluding destination). The configurator is live on AudiUSA.com for those ready to build their perfect spec.
