Since 1st September , certain new vehicles are already being type-approved according to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure WLTP , a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Owing to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those measured according to the NEDC.
Therefore, the usage of CO2 emission values measured according to WLTP for vehicle taxation from 1st September on can cause changes in this regard as well.
We are currently still required by law to state the NEDC figures. It is possible to specify the WLTP figures voluntarily in addition until such times as this is required by law. In cases where the NEDC figures are specified as value ranges, these do not refer to a particular individual vehicle and do not constitute part of the sales offering.
By comparison, the S5 features a much more powerful 3. Going hand in hand with its bigger engine, the S5 is more gas-hungry. Premium Plus and Prestige trims have the same performance as the base Premium trim, but offer some additional luxuries and driving assists. The decision to go with an A5 or spend more for the S5 should be a simple one based on your needs and preferences. The A5 is more sensible for all intents and purposes.
You can tell the difference between the S Line trim and other models in the range thanks to a subtle bodykit and distinct alloy wheel designs. The lowered ride height only helps to separate the sporty trim from the rest of the range, too. Given the S Line's sporting intentions, its suspension set-up may not appeal to everyone.
Designed to ensure top-notch handling, these firmer springs keep the A5 from leaning too much in corners. It'll surely entertain on a country road, but may annoy drivers who simply want to make progress in comfort and with little fuss. The S Line is available as either a two-door coupe or five-door Sportback model, with a wide range of engine choices from a 1.
However, the lack of a super-efficient Ultra model in this trim may be a little off-putting if you're looking for a company car. Engine choice is vast, and the option of either coupe or a five-door Sportback models, plus Audi's quattro four-wheel-drive system means you should easily be able the find the perfect A5 for you. In S Line trim, the A5 is a very attractive car. The addition of that restrained bodykit adds a dab of extra style, and the huge number of S Line badges dotted inside and out will be a constant reminder that you're driving an upmarket Audi.
The S Line's standard sports suspension can become irritating on long drives — it helps the A5 to perform better on a quick country-road blast, but on a motorway or in town, it makes small potholes feel like craters. Particularly in the coupe, rear-seat passengers will feel quite cramped.
The driver can choose the mode in which these systems operate: comfort, auto, dynamic or efficiency. If there is an onboard navigation system, then the additional individual mode is also included. Assistance systems Assistance systems in the A5 model series make driving even more assured; several of these systems have been upgraded with new functions.
Standard equipment in all models is the new driver information system with break recommendation. Audi side assist supports the driver when changing lanes by using radar to monitor the area behind the car. Audi active lane assist — now in the A5 — helps the driver to remain in their lane. A camera identifies lane markings on the road surface; if necessary, the system will gently correct the steering. Adaptive cruise control has been enhanced and makes use of radar to detect vehicles ahead of the A5 and continuously maintain an appropriate following distance.
Infotainment systems The infotainment systems in the A5 have been fundamentally advanced. The optional MMI navigation plus, the top-of-the-range version, features a large hard disk drive, a DVD player and a seven-inch color monitor with 3D navigation mapping.
The system has been further refined with respect to operation and the user terminal. Yet another high-end option is the Bluetooth online car phone. Under the slogan Audi connect, the technology facilitates very desirable services including a voice-activated Google point-of-interest search not in the A5 Cabriolet , navigation via Google Earth images, and the WLAN hotspot.
Prices Even though all A5 models have been extensively refined, Audi has barely raised prices. The entry-level version, the Audi A5 Sportback 1. It consumes just 8. In terms of new looks, the S models now feature new lights, modified body flourishes and new crystal-effect colors; the interior likewise exhibits refined changes.
Electromechanical power steering represents yet another key technical innovation. The S sport suspension and inch wheels featured on the S5 deliver ferocious road grip. The equipment and data specified in this document refer to the model range offered in Germany. Subject to change without notice; errors and omissions excepted. The indicated consumption and emissions values were determined according to the legally specified measuring methods.
Since September 1, , type approval for certain new vehicles has been performed in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure WLTP , a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions.
Due to the more realistic test conditions, the consumption and CO 2 emission values measured are in many cases higher than the values measured according to the NEDC. At the moment, it is still mandatory to communicate the NEDC values.
