So irritating to see a good car but with a touchscreen for everything.... Come on audi...a few buttons won't hurt

All this touchscreen functionality on the car yet it’s illegal to touch your phone whilst driving. Madness!

Glad Audi still knows how to make a good looking car

Miss the old A5 design it was a beauty

Choosing A5 over A4 allows them to charge a lot more....

They never listen or learn do they? Everybody says they want physical buttons, not more touchscreen, so what do they do? Fit more touchscreen controls! At least it looks like these models don't have those HORRIBLE fake exhausts!

Love the looks but not keen on the interior infotainment screens - looks fussy

I see so much hard plastic and hard materials in the interior. For sure they will be charging more for the new A5 but I just don't see why.

Don't be dazzled by the displays. The overall interior design looks and feels like a downgrade. RIP physical controls. Hello touch panel controls and PLASTIC.

That steering wheel looks straight out of a late 90s magazine trying to look “futuristic”

When will manufacturers, especially VAG, realise that gloss black trim is neither premium nor practical?

Exterior looks nice. Interior is a bit busy. Can't believe designers still go with piano black trim.

The steering wheel design looks disastrous! It’s like a downgrade for Audi!

That "nice gloss-black finish" on the console is going to be a fingerprint magnet! I wish Audi would use a nice wood-grained material as standard. Also, I'm sure gonna miss the tilt-up sunroof like my A4 has to vent heat out of the interior.

It's not a sunroof it doesn't open

The S5/S4 is going back to a V6 petrol!! Good news. Shame about the interior. The previous A4 was one of the remaining quality feeling Audi cabins.

Absolutely absurd. What the hell are they playing at. The a4 was there entry family sized car. Are they trying to lose customers or what.

That interior 🤮 why with all the big plastic screens? the older A6/7/8 screens were much nicer, a normal sized digital cockpit, and the two smaller screens in the middle, one for satnav, one for climate controls etc. I bet the interior build quality isn't as good as it was before either, looks like they're taking the BMW/Mercedes route with giant plastic glossy screens, probably has a laggy OS too with underpowered hardware

Missed opportunity to call the platform PCP

That's the best looking Corolla I have ever seen.

The reason is a higher number implies a higher segment, A5 money for an A4, expect at least £70k for a specced S4 no S5!

Ill just wait for the eu to ban all touch controls for ac etc..

Well put together and can listen to him also good speaking voice for reviews

Honestly these days automakers create more of a gadget rather than a car that we’ve come to love. Forget that horrible looking steering wheel, those high-end screens, piano plastic trim makes it less practical, less engaging and un-natural. It’s obviously downgrade. Only handful of automakers (probably Mazda being one of them aside from high end Porsche) still make cars, not gadgets: practical screens (not huge, not diminutive, just the right size), a bit heavy steering wheel, less-spongy suspension and of course physical buttons for A/C. Kudos to Mazda!

You’d think they would get rid of the even number models like A5, A7 since they’re niche cars and carry little brand recognition. The A4 has been with us for years. Why Audi!?

Gloss black and screens everywhere. Why Audi Why????

Maaan, that interior is disappointing 😢

So, it’s larger and longer than the older A4, but has a smaller boot. It’s got touchscreens galore inside, but has no physical buttons, and the S4 variant, has a V6 petrol engine, instead of the previous engine, which was a TDI. I was really hoping that it would look great (which it thankfully does), but I wish they’d have kept some physical buttons for the most widely used features and also would have kept the TDI engine from the previous vehicle, as I continue to be a fan of diesel and their torque figures. Not everything that’s new is better and in this case, I would say this is a somewhat of a downgrade - at least for me. A shame.

The A4 etron will come next year. They already announced it but premiered theA6 and Q6 etrons first.

The estate looks like a Kia Proceed in profile.

Very nice but have they fixed the glitchy MMI infotainment system plaguing all new Audis at the moment?

Steering wheel is a gem😂😂😂

Does it come as Allroad?

Thanks, very good explanation !

Great video breaking down the new model and badging line up

This looks great! What happens to the Allroad?

Audi has a new policy: ‘If you make a crappy car, just add a number and that solves all the problems.

That naming convention is dumb. Similar to the ID 4 and 5 being the same car.

The A4 B9 looks much better...more aggressive styling, all leather seats, physical buttons & MMI scrolling wheel, and a beautiful steering wheel with intuitive controls.

Disappointed where Audi is going with exterior and interior, I would rather expect such design at asian producer like KIA or Toyota. That's mater of market orientation the biggest market for VW group is China and unfortunately for me it's the case it's reoriented design more for asian market. Comparing design of A5 F5 or A4 B9 and new A5 PCP that is way step back. Thank you that showed this.

Wow.. it looks as past generation elantra.

Gonna miss the exquisite styling of the current RS5 Sportback, the new Avant is not too bad but the “sedan” leaves me a bit cold, on first glance it gave me a less interesting Ford Mondeo vibes. Interior is not too bad, should had more physical switches and dials for often used functions and I’m sad the more performance oriented models are leaning on hybrid set up’s, overly and unnecessarily complicated but I’m sure it’ll be fairly rapid and heavier then the outgoing cars.

Ridiculous calling it a saloon when it isn't. Call it a liftback and give it a rear wiper please. The Avant is beautiful.

For the love of god stop putting massive screens in cars!

Audi should introduce an allroad version. It will look SICK

these cars doesnt make sence in my country.. electric cars are like half the price

The car looks great 👍

Not interested in the touch screen tech, give me back my buttons!

Audi Electric sales are in serious decline. Need to focus on the combustion engine to generate more sales

So what will happen to the frameless A5?

Love the looks still AUDI they did it right. not like BMW. Can't wait for S or RS version ❤❤❤ great video and first look.

It appears the Interior Car Design 101 course involves the automatic use of gloss black !! This is the most impractical material to use in a car & only ever looks good in the showroom. For the love of god car designers, move on from gloss black anywhere on a car, & also bring back physical buttons.

The trend of car companies ruining their in-cabin experience continues. The old model looks like this car's rich uncle.

This is probably the worst interior in the history. Glossy paint black, no physical buttons, passenger display (what? why?)

That light blue.

For all of us ford mondeo family, it looks like the new audi A5/S5 have a solution to our problem of a new car pennies at the ready ❤❤❤

Nice.....price

Hate the screens.

Such a relief to see new Audi cars that are not SUVs

great review.

Oh, I get it now. All the cars with even numbers will be the ones that sit on lots the longest.

As a long time Audi driver. I'd sum this up as uninspiring. This package manages to give you none of the advantages of the A5 or A4. Want a coupé - nope, that's gone. Want an estate - certainly. Here's one that's smaller than the car it replaces. 2004 to 2010 was peak Audi. It's been a gradual decline ever since and this latest model is no exception. I see from your video that the A6 is going to be EV only. Let's take the biggest estate we make and one of the biggest saloons. Both made for racking up miles day after day everyday and blight them with minuscule EV ranges back up with motorway charging networks that generally have 50% of the chargers out of action. Its makes no sense. Odd numbers to remain combustion. The A3 is a prime candidate for EV and city use yet that will be combustion. A6 is made for big miles yet will be blighted with EV

Glass roof on a car - after turning a glass-top car onto its roof decades ago (my fault entirely) and ending up with pieces of that roof embedded in my head, this is one feature that makes me shiver. Add in the undoubtedly considerable cost and it's one option I'd definitely avoid. Am I the only person here who sees these cars and thinks of the Skoda Octavia and Superb, complete with the big hatch? (Shush - not supposed to remember that Skoda and Audi are the same under the skin...). Those four logo rings are pricey!

Very Chinese interior. Why would anyone owning the old model "upgrade" to something that is worse?

I did’t definitely expect a smaller trunk. What an awful news! That was an important variable for buying. Doubts arising….

Seems odd to get rid of the a4 name. And a hatch?

So if this is priced similar to a 3 series and c class then it’s a new A4 and the A5 which was always a step up is now gone forever. The A5 sportback is a better car that’s both of these models unless you want a curvy screen

New A5/S5 looks bit electric. The base A5 is at least $100K now. Add facelift price and inflation for next year's model. I would grab the 2024 A4/S4/S5 while you still can.

What about coupe and convertible.

It’s a coupe not a saloon 🫣

AND ALL OF THIS COST AS MUCH AS A SMALL APARTMENT

Sadly Avant, nor the S3 hatch is coming to Canada 😭

Audi the expensive Skoda. Next thing they will come up is screens in the back, vorsprung dur technic. Omg poor brand, in Europe sales are really under pressure, factory's are being closed. If you see this you can understand why. No real novity . "Old wine in new bags" we say in Europe.

Audi sinking to new lows with interior quality and design. Overall, the car looks OK externally, but £73k starting price for a base S5 Avant, so what the Black Edition will be over £80k I'm guessing. BMW M340 Touring is £59k and with almost every option added, still less than the new Audi. The BMW has a much better interior, is faster, looks better and it's a LOT cheaper, not to mention BMW finance rates are half Audis. No brainer, don't buy this if you wanted a new S4, sorry, S5 Avant.

From the front it looks like Hyundai Elantra

Why are they calling it a Sedan (Saloon) when it's quite clearly a Sportback??? I don't understand. Who are they fooling? Sloping roofline, coupe style rear end, hatchback sized rear doors/space. . .this is clearly a Sportback (Gran Coupe). If this is their answer to the 3 Series and C-Class for the next 8 years, they are not going to do well.

The only problem, they no longer have the 250-260hp 2litre. No competition with 330i and C300.

this does not feel like an audi. it is another cheap chineese brand which are hundreds on the market there. both in terms of materials quality and design with touchscreens everywhere. but I can payhalf the price for a chineese alternative

I don’t understand why manufacturers are pricing cars just above the 40k expensive car tax - and 150bhp is too low for this type of car.

OLED. That would audi light gate. That light will cost 10000€ to replace.

In few years this will be the A8 Avant

Why do all designs look old 😂😂😂

The driver won't get distracted. FFS pull the other keg.

Looks like BYD Qin L.

Love the hazards symbol.

I'll stick with my 2001 Audi S4 B5 thank you very much 😎

Very good looking car!

I like the exterior design, looks great. but interior, the tiny small shift handle is not attractive and the passenger screen is unnecessary... btw, the large display that reminds me of Chevy....

Instantly saw the front end and thought Ford focus 😮

Err...I'm not replacing my current S-line 45 TFSI A4 with any of these, anytime soon. If I'd summarize the new A5 / S5 models with one word that'd be... CHEAP. Which is a pity because I do like AUDI.

Good job Audi!

The hatch looks like a bmw 4 series gran coupe from side lol 😂 but the avant version dose look nice 👌 but the steering is absolutely horrible would have preferred the current steering wheel and also that badge 👎

I see hints of Saab and that’s a good thing

That coupe body style is gone what a shame.

I want; physical buttons and real wood in the interior, with minimal Piano Black. Obviously, this Audi isn't for me. I'll keep my 2017 Q7.

What the hell theese chrome trimming in front is very rude.I was considered to buy in 2025 but now i am not.2023 model is better.

Neden 150 hp daha önce 265 hp cok iyiydi. Bu kez olmadı Audi

Hyundai ??

Audi going electric and will close factory due to bad sale of Etron in Brussels too!!

This Audis will be on a small PP platform
