Audi's new A5/S5 launched

Audi's new-generation A5/S5 was officially launched in China, the same as the previous generation, the car offers Sportback (four-door), Coupe (two-door) and Cabriolet (convertible) and other versions, of which the new Audi A5 is equipped with two tuning of the 2.0T engine, a total of eight models, the new Audi S5 is equipped with a 3.0T V6 engine, a total of Three models.

The new car features: the exterior and interior bring a new experience

The new generation A5 is more aggressive in its exterior design, which of course cannot be separated from the new family-style face. The new hexagonal grille is flatter and wider, and with the multi-spoke chrome trim inside, the sense of sportiness and style is much higher than that of the old model. The front end of the new A5 is designed to be low, partly for streamlined design reasons, and partly to better protect pedestrians in a collision.

On the side, the new A5 retains a sliding back shape, and its roofline is more fluid than that of its A4 counterpart. The new car will also be equipped with a new style of double five-spoke wheels, the shape is very sporty. In terms of body dimensions, the Sportback model has a length, width, and height of 4733/1843/1386 mm and a wheelbase of 2824 mm, while the Coupe model has a length, width, and height of 4673/1846/1371 mm and a wheelbase of 2764 mm. 　　

The rear of the car is also a very attractive point, the new A5's rear design is more rounded, and the design of the small duck tail above the trunk lid can enhance its aerodynamic characteristics, for the sporty style of the shape is also a plus. sportback models are hatchback tailgates, the coupe is the traditional design.

In the interior part, I believe you are familiar with the design of this car, because it is the same as the new A4 design. The interior of the new car uses the latest design elements of the Audi family, with straight lines to create a strong horizontal extension. High-end models will be equipped with a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel, and the design of the center console area is also a familiar taste.

Powertrain, the new A5 in the Chinese market will be equipped with two different tuned 2.0T gasoline engines, of which the 2.0T low-power gasoline engine has a maximum power of 190 hp and the high-power version 252 hp. As for the transmission system, the new car will be matched with a 7-speed S Tronic dual-clutch transmission.

The new S5, is equipped with the newly developed 3.0 TFSI engine with a maximum power of 354 hp and peak torque of 500 Nm. The transmission is matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission and comes standard with a four-wheel drive system.

Ride space experience: space is not a strong point

When a 178cm tall person rides in the front row and adjusts the seat to the lowest level, the headspace is about 1 finger; keeping the front row position unchanged, when he rides in the back row, the leg space is 1 punch and 4 fingers, and the headspace is only 2 fingers; while riding in the center of the back row, both the head space And when riding in the center of the rear, both headroom, and the overall sitting position are very uncomfortable. There is no doubt that for the new A5, with its sliding back design and sporty style, riding space is not its strong point.

Competitors: direct reference to the BMW 4 Series

The Audi A5 is the most direct competitor of the BMW 4 Series. Both of these cars are midsize cars with a sporty style, but neither is a purely sporty car. For the four-door version, the A5 Sportback has an advantage in terms of body size. But on the whole, there are still some differences in style between the two, which also come from the difference in brand attributes. Audi's new A5 looks more technological, more like an elegant gentleman, while the BMW 4 Series is, as always, more sporty, a vibrant young man.

Full summary.

The A5 is a more youthful, sporty coupe-style model that has come into the limelight when the modest sedan has failed to satisfy consumers. Although not as popular as the A4 (A4L), the new car has not yet been listed by many people can be seen, coupe-style A5 still has a certain market. BMW's new 4 Series has launched just a few days ago (June 28) with a price tag of 43.50-68.70 million yuan. The new A5 listed today still has a certain advantage in price as the old model, plus a relatively more family-oriented "persona", which I believe will attract the attention of many consumers. The A5 and the 4 Series, who will be the final winner, we'll see.
