2025 Audi A5: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for 2025 is the arrival of an all-new A5 sedan, which takes over the role previously filled by the A4. Audi sells it alongside the outgoing A5 Sportback for one final year, making this a split-generation transition rather than a clean full-line redesign.
About the 2025 Audi A5
Split year: all-new third-generation B10 A5 sedan, first year, sold alongside the final-year second-generation B9.5 A5 Sportback.
The A5 is Audi’s style-focused compact luxury car with standard quattro all-wheel drive and a more upscale feel than a mainstream sedan. Its appeal is a sleek design, strong road manners, and a cabin that emphasizes technology and premium materials. In 2025 that identity shows up in two forms: the familiar outgoing A5 Sportback and the all-new A5 sedan, which pushes the formula further with more cabin tech and a larger footprint.
The new A5 sedan is the modern, tech-focused side of the range, with standard AWD, a 14.5-inch touchscreen, an 11.9-inch driver display, and a panoramic glass roof; Prestige adds a separate front-passenger display and upgraded lighting. The final-year Sportback keeps its familiar five-door shape and 10.1-inch touchscreen, while upper trims bring features such as premium audio, a surround-view camera, ventilated front seats, and a head-up display.

How does the new 2025 A5 sedan differ from the 2025 A5 Sportback?
