The new Audi A5.
17-07-2024 20:20 - CAR NEWS
The sporty genes of the Audi design philosophy are reflected in both the sedan and the Avant of the new Audi A5. Efficient, partially electrified combustion engines with MHEV plus system and emotional S models are further distinctive features of the new Audi A5 family. With the expansion of its model range, AUDI AG is restructuring the naming of its vehicles from 2024. The numbers for electric models and combustion engines are differentiated - even numbers will stand for electrically powered models in the future, odd numbers for vehicles with combustion engines. The Audi A4, a long-standing bestseller, is called the Audi A5 with the debut of the latest generation and is produced in Neckarsulm. It is offered in four new variants: as the A5 Sedan* and S5 Sedan* and as the A5 Avant* and S5 Avant*. These derivatives are the first models to launch on the Premium Platform Combustion (PPC).
The completely redesigned A5 family is powerful and cleanly designed at first glance. The changed proportions with a long wheelbase, large wheels and the flat, sporty body embody progressive dynamics and premium standards. In the sedan, the sporty, compact-looking greenhouse runs backwards in a sweeping curve, flows seamlessly into the flat rear window like in a coupé and ends at the optically short tailgate with a striking spoiler edge. The tailgate, which is new in this vehicle segment, forms a convincing symbiosis of design and functionality. It opens with the rear window and its size makes access to the luggage compartment much easier. This results in a completely new sedan concept for Audi. In the Avant, the dynamically taut roof line merges into a form-fitting, integrated roof spoiler that spans the sporty, flat rear window. The D-pillars, which are also steeply inclined, emphasize the dynamics of the A5 Avant* in the side view. The wide and significantly flatter proportioned single frame with a three-dimensional honeycomb structure dominates the front. Together with the slim and precisely designed headlights, it shapes the face of the vehicle and gives it a striking and focused expression. Thanks to the soft nose integrated into the bumper, the bonnet is flush with the front. The blisters that protrude powerfully from the shoulder area on the front and rear wheels are reminiscent of the Audi Urquattro and a core element of the Audi design DNA. The distinctively designed rear combines sporty, emotional design and intelligent technology. The combination of the sculptural geometry in the rear end with the continuous, three-dimensionally offset light strip gives the rear of the new Audi A5 presence and visual dynamism. Other highlights in the rear view of the basic models are the clear, modern design of the bumper with dark contrasting diffuser and the high-quality, rectangular tailpipe trims.
The new MHEV plus system based on a 48-volt electrical system supports the combustion engine and simultaneously increases performance. The new drive train generator (TSG) enables electric driving components, which contribute to reduced consumption. The MHEV plus system in the Audi A5 series offers significant advantages in terms of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption compared to an MHEV system.
The TSG also has a function that can briefly provide up to 18 kW (24 hp) of additional electrical power to the combustion engine. When decelerating, the TSG – with up to 25 kW of power – feeds energy back into the battery (recuperation). Purely electric maneuvering and parking are therefore possible to a limited extent. The option of using a purely electric
air conditioning compressor means that the air conditioning can also be operated when stopped at traffic lights and the combustion engine is switched off. With the integrated and blendable brake control system (iBRS), the brake pedal and the brake hydraulics can be completely decoupled. In models with the MHEV plus system, for example, the iBRS ensures pressure-free braking and achieves the necessary deceleration thanks to recuperation without using the mechanical wheel brake. This means that deceleration is initially carried out exclusively by recuperation. The mechanical wheel brake only comes into effect when the brake pedal is pressed harder. The braking feel remains unaffected. Engines at market launch. The efficient engines in the Audi A5 family cover a wide range: from conventional entry-level models to comfortable long-distance runners and dynamic sports cars. The packages of engine, transmission, degree of electrification and drive type are geared to our customers' expectations. The entry-level engine is a 2.0 TFSI with 110 kW (150 hp). Alternatively, this engine is available with an output of 150 kW (204 hp). These TFSI units have a turbocharger with variable turbine geometry (VTG) and work with a modified combustion process that is particularly economical in the partial load range. The VTG technology enables a harmonious and agile build-up of torque even in gasoline engines at low speeds. The turbo four-cylinder is available with a dual clutch transmission. The 110 kW variant is available as a pure front-wheel drive and the 150 kW variant with front-wheel drive or quattro ultra. The 2.0 TDI with 150 kW (204 hp) it with a displacement of two liters from the EA288 evo generation takes sets new standards in the A5 with its MHEV plus technology. This un over from its predecessor the optimized combustion through a cylinder pressure sensor, twin dosing for exhaust gas aftertreatment and two balance shafts for a refined engine running. It develops a torque of 400 Newton meters between 1,750 and 3,250 rpm. The 2.0 TDI is available with a dual-clutch transmission as a front-mounted model or with quattro ultra. To increase efficiency and comfort, the engine is partially electrified using the new 48-volt MHEV plus system. The electric driving components reduce CO2 emissions through high recuperation performance. In addition, the comfort of the TDI is further increased by a 48-volt belt starter generator with a smooth engine start. The reaction time when starting off is shortened and the car is noticeably more agile.
