Reviews SummaryThe redesigned 2025 Audi A5 takes on a more important role in the luxury brand’s lineup. The coupe and convertible body styles are gone, leaving only a five-door hatchback akin to the previous-generation A5 Sportback (Europe gets a wagon as well). That model also happened to be Audi’s bestselling non-SUV in 2024, so the new A5 also replaces the slower-selling A4 sedan as Audi’s answer to the BMW 3 Series, Cadillac CT4, Genesis G70, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and Lexus IS. Verdict: The new A5 impresses with tech, handling poise, and practicality, but it represents a significant effective price increase for returning Audi customers. | |
Reviews SummaryAudi’s use of “e-tron” is confusing. First, it’s technically lowercase, like this: e-tron. But that’s just weird. Second, since the name first appeared on a 2010 concept vehicle, both plug-in hybrids and electrics have worn it. Third, Audi has used e-tron interchangeably as a model name and a powertrain designation. This review is about the e-tron SUV model in its Sportback configuration. | |
