CarTell take

We haven't driven the A5 yet. On paper, ANCAP rating is carry-over pending re-test of the B10 generation. RS 5 flagship is confirmed but not yet on sale, so buyers wanting top-tier performance should wait or take the S5.

Why consider it

  • New PPC platform with 48V mild-hybrid standard across the range.
  • Avant wagon body still offered, rare in 2026.
  • Dual-screen MMI with 14.5-inch touchscreen, optional 10.9-inch passenger display, S5 with 270 kW and electric turbo assist.

What to know

  • No PHEV option locally yet, both BMW and Mercedes cover that.
  • Climate now buried in the lower touchscreen.
  • Renamed from A4, residuals on the outgoing A4 may suffer.

Who it suits

Executives and wagon loyalists who want a mid-size luxury sedan with proper drivetrain breadth, 48V MHEV efficiency across the range, and a still-available Avant body.
