Future Mobility

New look, new platform, new powertrain tech, new four-wheel drive system and even new naming for Audiâ€™s compact executive estate This is the new Audi A5, and thatâ€™s neither a typo nor the promise of some sort of coupÃ©-based shooting brake. As you might have noticed, Audi is shaking up its naming structure so that all the odd-numbered cars have combustion engines while all the even-numbered cars have batteries and electric motors.After being known as the 80 for 25 years and the A4 for 20, Audiâ€™s compact executive saloon/estate now prefers to be known as the A5; and as per tradition, thereâ€™s a faster version, with S for sporty.Weâ€™re focusing on the S5, because itâ€™s the most interesting of the bunch and itâ€™s the car I got the most representative time in on the launch, but there will be fuller tests of the normal A5 to come in future.
