2025 Audi A5 (A4 Replacement)

I like. I wonder if it has a hatchback or a boot lid?

I see Audi is going round and blobby now, from sharp and angular. More like a Merc.
 
Audi making the best looking german sedans these days. there's an RS6 that comes to the creche i drop my kids at and its awesome
 
Bare in mind this is the ugly one. Prefacelift Audis never age as well as their facelifts counterparts. If it's this good i can only imagine how good the facelift will be
 
All new Audi A5 Sedan debuts as A4 replacement in realigned range

The current Audi A4 is no more. Meet the all-new Audi A5 Saloon.

The Ingolstadt-based carmaker has unveiled its new A5 family, which also includes an Avant station wagon, but only the Sedan will be coming to South Africa, with an expected launch date around mid-2025 according to our local contact.

This is not a case of Audi trying to numerically confuse us. In fact the opposite seems true, as in future, all battery-powered Audis will have even numbers in their names while the odd numbers will denote the combustion engined models.

The new A5 Sedan and Avant, along with their S5 variants that were also revealed on Tuesday, are the first Audi products to be underpinned by the new Premium Platform Combustion (PPC).

Despite it being called a Sedan, no doubt in order to foster a sense of familiarity among current A4 saloon owners, the new A5 is actually a five-door hatchback, which makes it similar in concept to the previous A5 Sportback that it will also replace.

 
2025 Audi A5 Is The New Audi A4

Don't cry for the now-dead A4. It just has a new name

Not long ago, Audi announced that it would be changing up its naming system for the transition to electric vehicles. Going forward, cars with odd numbers in their names would be gas-powered, while even-numbered Audis would be electric. Because of that, the A4 is no more. Instead, if you want a compact, gas-powered Audi sedan, you’ll have to buy its replacement — the 2025 A5.

Like the A5 Sportback that the new car also replaces, the new A5 will offer a liftback design to make it even more practical than a traditional sedan. If you need even more flexibility and live in a country where Audi decides to sell it, there will also be a wagon version, as well. We’re not optimistic that the A5 Avant will make it to the U.S., but we’ve been pleasantly surprised before, so you never know.

 
This looks great. Way less fussy than the BMW 3 series and more resolved than the Merc C Class.
Interested in the reviews.
**Edit 19th July - Also waiting for local pricing and options.
