New 2025 Audi S5 Avant - Interior, Exterior and Crazy Lights

The Audi A4 as we know it is officially dead. Before the name returns some years from now as an electric sedan, the all-new A5 will take its place. From day one, Audi Sport will sell a hotter S5 with a long roof but not a US visa. Say hello to the S5 Avant, a fresh name that, honestly, will take some time to get used to.
The pretty wagon from Ingolstadt thankfully hasn't been bitten by the downsizing bug. The S5 Avant still has a 3.0-liter V-6 like its predecessor. Better yet, it packs a greater punch courtesy of a mild-hybrid setup. The Four Rings have rated the engine at 362 horsepower, which is up by 13 hp compared to the old model. Torque isn't listed but we're expecting an improvement over the S4 Avant's 369 lb-ft of twist.
Aside from receiving 48V tech, the six-cylinder engine now works with a seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission replacing the eight-speed Tiptronic torque converter. The new gearbox can handle more torque than before and is also slightly lighter. Much like the defunct S4, its replacement comes with Quattro all-wheel drive as standard. Audi Sport throws in a differential with torque vectoring for optimal grip and power delivery.
As with the A5 models, the performance derivative sits on what Audi calls the Premium Platform Combustion (PPC). It's essentially an evolution of the Volkswagen Group's MLB architecture. The German luxury brand has stretched the car by 2.6 inches to 190.1 inches. For more legroom, the wheelbase has been elongated by 3.1 inches to 114.1 inches. At least in Europe, the cars will have more standard equipment to reposition the vehicles in the upper mid-size segment.
While America isn’t getting the wagon, the regular A5/S5 is coming here. It’s officially labeled as the A5/S5 Sedan but it's actually a more practical five-door model with a tailgate. It effectively replaces the old A5/S5 Sportback. The traditional sedan isn't the only body style dead considering the A5/S5/RS5 Coupe and Convertible are gone from the lineup as well.
