Second-Generation Audi A5: Innovations and Expectations

According to information from the American magazine “Car & Driver”, it became known that a second-generation car in the Audi A5 family should soon appear. Photos of the modern version of the coupe were shown. As it became known from the pages of this publication, it is planned to start sales of the new Audi A5 by the beginning of 2015. However, it is possible that the first models could appear by the end of 2014

Audi A5 Redesign

In the second version of the Audi A5, Audi plans to use new design innovations that make the car’s body more aggressive, which makes the futuristic interior even more interesting. The new version of the Audi A5 will be equipped with full LED headlights. A full range of a wide variety of systems will be installed in the car interior to provide the driver with maximum comfort. Key system performance indicators will be shown on the head-up display.

Audi A5 Evolution

A special aluminum body was developed as the basis for the second-generation Audi A5; in addition, the modular MLB Evo system developed by VW will serve as the basis for the protection of the driver and passengers. All this made it possible to make the car body 100 kg lighter than its predecessors. The range of engines used in the new Audi A5 will also be changed. The truth will not change that much. The existing engine system has been carefully modified from the classic and familiar two-liter fours and sixes, the volume of which is 3 liters.

Audi RS5 Evolution

The new and already top-end RS5 will lose its naturally aspirated eight-cylinder engine but will receive a more powerful 4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine. We can only hope that the imminent debut of the new second-generation Audi A5 model will take place earlier than announced. Today, the Audi A5 is already on sale in Russia and has a price of 1,588,000, 1,614,000, and 1,898,000 rubles, depending on the model, respectively.
