“The new Audi A5 proudly continues the model’s legacy with a design that is elegant, sporty, and unmistakably Audi. It is a truly beautiful sedan, and we are excited to introduce it to our customers.” says (Sascha Sauer, Head of Audi South Africa)
Exterior and Design
The Audi A5 Sedan 2025 combines elegance with sportiness. Its long wheelbase, low stance, and wide Singleframe grille give it a bold road presence. Slim LED headlights, a sculpted bonnet, and muscular wheel arches (inspired by the legendary Audi quattro) add to its athletic look.
From the side, its coupé-like silhouette flows into a short rear with a sculpted spoiler lip, while the rear features a sleek 3D LED light strip and integrated exhaust trims.
Buyers can choose from new metallic colours such as Horizon Blue, Grenadine Red, and Ascari Blue, or go fully bespoke with Audi Exclusive paint options.
