Default The new A5 and S5


I really like the new model especially the new interior. I hope they will introduce a new convertible though...

The interior will probably spill into the new D6?

Available with a diesel . Interesting that Audi are keeping their hand in, amidst all the EV discussions recently. Glad it still has a place, as it's bound to be highly economical, have a huge range, and be trustably friendly on co2 and other emissions with the latest filtration systems. I'm biased but if diesel engines are clean and honest, they are real world superb.

I think the A5 looks to be a natural progression in design - still fairly safe in looks, but up to date.

Agree with you Torque450. I had several diesel cars in the past including VW and Mercedes. They were great cars for their time.

I did think about spending more money and buying a used 60 eTFSi instead of the 50 TDi (3.0 V6) A8 that I've had for a year. But, I'm regularly getting over 600 miles per tank with no effort, and 50mpg (42mpg US?). I've also not had to fill the AdBlue since buying, which tells me it's efficient and a low polluter.
The 60 TFSi has a much smaller loadspace and does 30% worse economy, despite the battery range.

Will be interesting to see how economical and well-rounded the 204bhp A5 diesel is and if enough people buy them.
