2017 Audi A5

The 2017 Audi A5 is a four passenger luxury coupe that also comes as a convertible (the Cabriolet). At first glance, the body of the A5 doesn’t appear to have been given much of a redesign for 2017. The shape and size is almost identical to the previous model, but the subtle design enhancements definitely give it more of an edge. The new A5 has deeper cuts with more angular lines than before, as well as larger air intakes and a more defined rear. The adjustments look much sportier and add more masculinity to the overall look. 18-ich alloy wheels, automatic xenon lights, headlight washers, rain-sensing wipers, heated mirrors, and front and rear parking sensors come standard.

The interior of the A5 is as classy as ever. Audi never fails to impress us with their ability to create an elegant cabin that’s still simple and conservative. Excellent material quality and ergonomically placed controls work smarter, not harder. Niceties within include premium comfort amenities such as a sunroof, tri-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, 10-way power adjustable front seats with four way lumbar, Bluetooth and a 10 speaker audio system with satellite radio and smart phone connectivity.  The Cabriolet features a power folding cloth top and a wind blocker to the list.

Powering the Audi A5 is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is standard on the coupe while an eight-speed automatic is standard on the convertible and optional on the coupe. The EPA estimates that the standard A5 will get 22 mpg in the city and 32 on the highway, and the convertible is estimated at 21 city/29 highway mpg.

The A5 comes standard with dual front and side airbags, traction and stability control, and anti-lock brakes. If you desire more active safety features Audi also offers a lane departure warning system, blind-spot monitors, and adaptive cruise control.

The new A5 offers a perfectly simple interior layout laden in high quality materials and featuring top of the line technology features. The design will be well suited to anyone who desires luxurious amenities without unnecessary flamboyance.
