2025 Audi A5 Sedan B10 US Version
By Team Dailyrevs May 8, 2025
The 2025 Audi A5 Sedan gets updated styling, improved hybrid tech, and multiple engine options.
-
New plug-in hybrid variant pushes performance with 367 hp and 68 miles of EV range.
-
Positioned against the BMW 3 Series and C-Class, pricing starts around $48,400.
Exterior Tweaks That Sharpen the Profile
The design team didn’t start from scratch, but the front end gets noticeably crisper. A wider Singleframe grille and new LED lighting give it a more planted look. Around back, a reshaped bumper and slimmer taillights modernize things without losing the A5’s recognizable stance.
It still carries that understated Audi silhouette — a clean beltline, well-proportioned overhangs, and enough muscle around the wheel arches to keep it from looking anonymous.
Inside: Familiar Layout, Better Tech
Slide inside and the updates are subtle but welcome. The 10.1-inch MMI touchscreen now sits more cleanly in the dash, flanked by an optional 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Material quality holds strong — mix of soft-touch surfaces, stitched inserts, and brushed trim in higher trims.
Features like wireless CarPlay, a head-up display, and ambient lighting help elevate it past just “nice” — especially when stacked against mid-level rivals.
Powertrain Options: From Balanced to Brisk
The A5 Sedan keeps its familiar 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, split into two flavors:
-
The standard version (201 hp / 236 lb-ft) is tuned for everyday balance.
-
The 45 TFSI spec bumps it up to 261 hp and 273 lb-ft for quicker launches and more flexibility.
But the big news? The plug-in hybrid. Audi pairs the 2.0L turbo with an electric motor for a combined 367 hp. More impressive is the claimed electric-only range — around 68 miles (110 km). That’s properly usable and gives the A5 some serious dual-use capability.
All versions run through a 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch gearbox. Quattro AWD is standard on the higher trims and optional lower down.
Safety Tech Covers the Bases
Audi’s driver assistance suite includes Pre Sense City and Basic — think early braking and collision alerts. Adaptive cruise with stop-and-go, lane keeping, and a head-up display are available as you climb the trim ladder. It’s comprehensive, but not overloaded with bings and pings.
Where It Fits in the Market
Starting just north of $48,000, the A5 Sedan sits neatly between its rivals — notably the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class. It’s not trying to out-drift them or out-flash them. Instead, it focuses on polished refinement, tech that's usable (not just fancy), and a quietly confident look.
The 2025 Audi A5 Sedan doesn’t try to overcompensate. It updates where it counts — styling, hybrid performance, and interior tech — and lets the fundamentals do the talking. For buyers who want solid, premium, and just a bit fun, it’s right on the money.
