Audi India is all set to launch the new Audi A5 range today and we will be bringing you all the live updates from the launch here. The company will introduced three iterations of the car - A5 Sportback, the S5 Sportback, and the A5 Cabriolet. We have already driven all three cars and we have to say the new-gen A5 range has truly impressed us. This is the second generation Audi A5 that has come to India and from the previous generation India only got the S5 Sportback model. But now, Audi has decided to bring the whole pack to our shores, which means enthusiasts now have three cars to choose from, depending on their liking.

The next-gen A5 is based on the new A4 and borrows most of the styling cues as also technology from it.

The Audi S5 Sportback its the meanest of the pack. We got to drive it few days back and were truly impressed. If you haven't read our review already, here it is - Audi S5 Review.

The Brat Pack!!
The Brat Pack - now, isn't that a suitable title for the new Audi A5 range.


Oct 5, 2017
The Stage is Set!
Here's a completely draped Audi A5. Just a little more while before the drapes come off and the prices are revealed. We have been told that there is a celebrity also coming for the launch. We think it's someone with the initials 'VK', any guesses?

From the rear you'll see that the S5 Sportback comes with lip spoiler, rear diffuser, and a quad pipe exhaust set up. On the other hand the A5 sportback misses out on the lip spoiler and rear diffuser and gets a single twin-pipe exhaust.

Audi A5 Design and Styling
The second-generation Audi A5 is based on the new Audi A4 sedan that is already on sale in India and borrows most of the styling cues as also technology from it. Having said that, the new A5 features a stretched wheelbase, short overhangs, wraparound domed hood, and a single frame grille. The grille is flatter and wider than its predecessor and this brings out the character of the car. Also one of major design highlights of the car is the new bonnet which comes with a bold character lines that give the car an imposing look.
