Audi A5 and S5 review

New look, new platform, new powertrain tech, new four-wheel drive system and even new naming for Audi’s compact executive estate

This is the new Audi A5, and that’s neither a typo nor the promise of some sort of coupé-based shooting brake. As you might have noticed, Audi is shaking up its naming structure so that all the odd-numbered cars have combustion engines while all the even-numbered cars have batteries and electric motors.After being known as the 80 for 25 years and the A4 for 20, Audi’s compact executive saloon/estate now prefers to be known as the A5 – and, as per tradition, there’s a faster version, with S for sporty.We’re focusing on the S5 because it’s the most interesting of the bunch and it’s the car I got the most representative time in on the launch, but there will be fuller tests of the normal A5 to come in future.
