2014 Audi A5 in Mishawaka, IN - $0

The all-new 2018 Audi A5 Coupe builds upon the heritage and success of the first generation, while bringing reimagined design details to the new A5 family of vehicles. The A5’s design is backed by two powerful new engines to deliver a full range of driving experiences from efficient refinement to dynamic power. New for 2018, the elegant and athletic two-door coupe delivers even more impressive technology such as the available Audi virtual cockpit and MMI® touch and driver assistance systems.

Available in Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige trim levels, the exterior of the A5 coupe has been redesigned to feature more dramatic shapes and sharp lines. Classic design details such as the hood power dome, strong shoulder line and pronounced wheel arches add elegance and emotion to the already sporty character of the vehicle. Slim, yet sculptural three-dimensional LED taillights offer a distinctly powerful look and emphasize vehicle width.

Power is generated by a completely new 2.0L TFSI® four-cylinder engine that is bolted to a six-speed manual gearbox or for the first time, a seven-speed S tronic® dual-clutch transmission. Audi’s iconic quattro all-wheel drive is standard.

For 2018, the newly developed control hardware for the A5 allows for both a sporty driving experience and more comfortable ride for long distances. The redesigned front five-link suspension with lightweight construction offers greater steering precision and excellent handling through optimized steering-rack placement direct at wheel centers. Handling and comfort enhancements have also improved through the reduced unsprung weight of lightweight aluminum control-arm components and revised elastokinematic attributes.

Additionally, the standard Audi drive select features four different modes – comfort, auto, dynamic and individual – allowing the driver to change gear shift points, steering, and available damper control and adaptive cruise control adjustments.

The optional sport suspension lowers ride height by approximately 23 mm and utilizes different tubular anti-roll bars, dampers, and linear-rate springs. Available comfort adaptive damping suspension lowers ride height by 10 mm and uses continuous electronic damper control to enable the various suspension and damping combinations that make up the Audi drive select modes.

Inside the passenger cabin, driver and occupants are surrounded by sophisticated interior details, including the Audi brand’s hallmark wing-design wrap-around dashboard which underscores the A5’s progressive nature. Standard three-zone automatic climate control with diffuser air vents help recreate natural airflow. The eight-way power front seats with four-way power lumbar adjustment for the driver. The standard panoramic sunroof adds light to the cabin, while ambient LED lighting makes the interior a more inviting place to enjoy long trips.
