The masculine Audi A5
Audi has been producing the A5 since 2007, it is a compact executive saloon which was initially only available as a coupe or convertible. The A5 was designed to replace the A4 convertible and add a coupe derivative to Audi’s executive car segment. The A5 Sportback went into production in 2009; it is the 4 door A5 model.
The A5 Sportback is different from the A4 saloon as it has a tapering roofline giving it that “coupe” look. According to Audi the Sportback is “as emotional and elegant as a coupe, as comfortable as a sedan, and as practical as an Avant”. As well as the Sportback the A5 range also consists of the S5 and RS5, both demonstrate Audi’s high performance heritage very well.
Audi A5 lease and business contracts have become very popular, mainly due to its wide range of model variants. Whether it’s the coupe, the convertible or the Sportback the A5 has proven to be very suitable and adaptable to an array of uses. The three available diesel engine options also make it very financially attractive to businesses and company car drivers.
All of the A5 variants look very masculine and all the engines provide plenty of grunt and power. The entry level petrol model is a 2.0 litre unit with 178bhp, then there is a 2.0 litre turbo engine which has 208 bhp in the V6 configuration there is a 3.2 litre with 261bhp and a 4.2 litre with 349bhp. The smallest and cheapest diesel is a 2.0 litre unit with 168 bhp, a 2.7 litre with 187bhp and a mighty 3.0 litre with 237bhp.
As you would expect from an Audi the A5 is packed with technology and safety features. There are plenty of driver aids to help prevent accidents but in the case of a collision the A5 turns into a protective bubble with safety features to prevent major injury or death.
