Reviews Summary

The redesigned 2025 Audi A5 compact luxury car 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 an A5 Avant 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 Alfa Romeo Giulia, BMW 3 Series, Cadillac CT4, Genesis G70, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and Lexus IS.

Verdict: The new Audi A5 impresses with tech, handling poise, and practicality, but represents a significant effective price increase for returning Audi customers.

Reviews Summary

What’s the recipe for taking on the German standards in the luxury sport coupe segment? Infiniti thinks it’s technology plus value and a bit of theatre, and it may be right. With a fully redesigned Q60, Infiniti doubles down on the promise it made way back when with the G35 and G37, adding a new GT-R-related twin-turbo V6, a retuned 7-speed transmission, and a fully drive-by-wire setup that promises to be better than you in every regard. But better doesn’t mean fun. After all, a dual-clutch automatic is faster and more efficient than a traditional, 3-pedal manual, but it’s nowhere near as engaging. Regardless, the Q60 doesn’t offer either. What it does offer is striking styling, impressive handling, and more tech than a closeout sale at Radio Shack.
