2025 Audi A5 price and specs: New luxury car arriving with S5 flagship

• 2025 Audi A5 pricing and specifications
• No A5 wagon for Australia
• S5 available in wagon or sedan body styles
• Priced from $79,900 before on-road costs

The new 2025 Audi A5 will replace both the existing A4 and A5 when it arrives in Australian showrooms this year, as Audi’s first model to make its debut on the brand’s new (and possibly last) petrol-powered vehicle platform.

It will be a pared-back line-up for the mid-sized passenger car, available in a sedan body style with a liftback tailgate, with just two full-time model grades to choose from.

As previously detailed, Audi has discontinued the A4 model line in favour of this new-generation A5. The new A5 is longer, wider, and marginally taller than its predecessor.

The 2025 Audi A5 range begins at $79,900 before on-road costs for the entry-level A5, which outputs 150kW from a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine. This version is only available in the sedan body style – a wagon option is no longer offered for the regular A5 range in Australia.

Convertible and coupe variants of the A5 have been dropped globally in the move to this new generation.

Performance buyers will be drawn to the S5, available in sedan and Avant body styles. In addition to a more powerful engine, this car gets a 16-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, massage seats, quad exhaust pipes, unique badging, and silver accents.

Outputs are bumped to 270kW and 550Nm in either the S5 sedan or Avant variants, courtesy of a 3.0-litre turbocharged petrol V6.

Common to both the A5 and S5 is a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. However, only the S5 is a beneficiary to Audi’s new 48-volt mild-hybrid ‘plus’ system that’s capable of driving the wheels on electric power alone at low speeds for very short distances.

Pricing for the sporty new Audi S5 line-up begins at $99,990 for the introductory special S5 ‘edition one’.

Audi’s ‘edition one’ specials are available in the S5 sedan and S5 Avant body styles. These variants are highlighted by black trims and bespoke details inside and out, though no performance benefits will be introduced.

The ‘edition one’ vehicles are designed for the ‘purists’, according to Audi, featuring replacement equipment such as 19-inch wheels (compared to the regular S5’s 20-inch units), the deletion of the Bang and Olufsen sound system, and no steering wheel heating, for example.

The 2025 Audi S5 edition one is characterised externally by a black styling package including anthracite badging, dark chrome-plated exhaust tips, and black door handles.

From there, prices increase to $114,900 for the regular S5 sedan and, ultimately, $117,900 for the range flagship – the S5 Avant.

Technology boasts for the new A5 and S5 mirror those of the new Audi Q6 e-tron electric SUV. This means 11.9-inch digital instrument display and super-sized 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen, integrated into a curved panel dubbed the ‘Digital Stage’.

The 2025 Audi A5 range will become available in dealerships soon.
