Audi launches in Brazil the A4 successorwhich is renamed A5. The executive sedan is BMW 3 Series Historical Rival and Mercedes-Benz Class C and arrives with good mechanical and aesthetic predicates to face the pair. In this new generation the car debuts a new platform and engine, now with 272 horsepower and full -wheel drive.
The Audi by R$ 379.990 And now land in Brazil, with drones show in the sky of Rio de Janeiro, the stage of the launch. The first deliveries start in September and CNN has had access to the German model, available in a single configuration in the country.
First of all, Audi A5 represents a break and at the same time reconciliation in a strategy failure of the automaker. Executives have decided that all cars with odd names would be combustion or hybrids, while Audi with 100% electric even names. Thus, “killed” the A4, which became A5 And also the “old A5”, a four -door tuber.
However, the mark of the four rings, as well as the forecast of turning “100% electric” by 2032.
However, the new Audi A5 assumes in place of the two retirees and debut a new platform: Premium Combustion Platform (PPC). The sedan grows in all dimensions, 4.82 meters long, 1.86 m wide and 2.89 m wheelbase.
The car adopts Audi’s current design line, with Singleframe Grid Expanded at the front, with black frames in the air entrances. The optical set is full LED, but without the resource Matrixavailable in other markets. On the side, 20 “rim wheels and in the rear lanterns integrated with vertical fillets. In fact the new Audi A5 2025 comes with package S Line with sports look.
Inside, highlight the cockpit formed by two integral screens: 11.9 “cluster and 14.9” multimedia, both with higher resolution and better response speed. The trunk, in turn, offers a capacity of 417 liters, without steppe, and the body maintains the concept of Fastback, with lid of the Bagato that opens next to the rear glass.
In the mechanical ensemble, the A5 maintains the traditional 2.0 TFSI engine formula with turbo and direct injection, but not the same as before: it is a new block that delivers 272 hp and 400 nm of torque. The seven -speed S Tronic automated gearbox operates in conjunction with the full -time up -to -demand ultra -demand, capable of sending up to 60% of the torque to the rear wheels when needed. The acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h is made in 5.9 secondsand the maximum speed limited to 210 km/h.
These mechanical credentials are an interesting sales argument with the BMW 320i M Sport, which has 184 hp 2.0 turbo engine, 300 nm of torque and the traditional rear -wheel drive.
In terms of equipment, the new A5 displays good credentials for the Premium segment, but it should be noted that Audi had to give up equipment to reach the single price. Among the available items, digital air of three climatization zones, as well as configurable ambient lighting in 30 colors and electric front seats.
Among driver assistance systems, the package includes Adaptive Autopilot (ACC)track maintenance alert and multiple airbags, including rear and curtain sides. But the A5 sold in Brazil does not come with typical luxury cars such as 360º camera, head-up display and premium sound system.
But on the other hand, it offers a very interesting item: Sun ceiling with transparency adjustment. This “intelligent ceiling” is panoramic and copper wide internal area of the Audi A5. The device is adjusted in segments with six levels that can be selected by the driver by a button!
The new Audi A5 2025 is available in eight colors which do not add cost to the final value: white arkona (solid); Ascari Blue, Blue Firmament, Horizon Blue, Glacier White, Black Myth, Granadin Red (Metallics); and Daytona Gray (pearl). In the inside, there is the finish in black.
