This is the all-new Audi A4. This is the all-new Audi A5. This is not an editing error. This is the truth because this vehicle here is the
all-new Audi A4 and the Audi A5 in one
and it is called now new generation
of the Audi A5. So, I would maybe
call it the Audi formerly known
as A4 tough car. Maybe like this, you
know, remember Prince? Yeah, and I'll tell you all about it and like explain the logic behind it and so on and so on. We have it as the Sedan or Sportback,
and also here as the Avant, the Estate, all the versions, exterior, interior, engines,
with Thomas and Autogefühl in 4K, full
screen, full length. Let's go! First, staying here with our Ascari Blue Sedan, the S5. Yes, it's an S5, and
you can see here, the S models, they
have this honeycomb structure here in the lower part, also these inlays here
in the front grille. Usually, an S5 would
have bright inserts right here and also
in the lower part. This one here, optionally equipped with a Black package. LED, new lamps, there's a nice integration here,
horizontal style, and they are in three different trims, LED, LED+,
and the Matrix LED. The latter one you
see here, they also have special indicator
animation and so on. You can see in a very sporty style, the hood has, you know, it's kind of like inserted into the whole front area, what we usually see from sporty cars and the same applies also for the side mirrors. They are placed
at the side doors and not here in
this triangle, this also should remind
you of sports cars. Next to the wheels, 17 to 20-inch, these here are 20-inch wheels, the biggest ones available are S wheels and also
the red contrasting brake caliper here for the S model next to the black contrast here
in the lower part. Usually, the side mirrors would also be in the bright styling which I personally prefer for an S model, but here, once again, with the Black pack, you can also get this more sinister look here. 4 meters 83 or 190
inches is the length. This is 7 centimeters or 3 inches longer than
the predecessor A4 because for Audi, this is the successor of the A4. At the same time, it's also the successor of the A5. You see, it's getting a little bit complicated, but they want to rearrange their portfolio there a little bit. And also, the other logic behind this is that uneven
numbers are the combustion engines
now, and the even numbers are
the electric models. That's why an A4 and an A6 is an EV at Audi now. And an A5 and an A7 would
be the combustion engine rather, and the funny thing
is that when you look here, like at the height here,
it's a little bit more A4 sedan. But then, if you
look here to this stretched roofline and so on, like
this shoulder or hip area, it’s a little bit more A5.
And I think, yeah, it’s maybe like A4 and A5 had
children, and after that, they themselves jumped
off the cliff, you know, like the parents,
not the children. And you can also see that here, this then typical A5
Sportback style, it has this fastback
or liftback, so it opens really wide
access to the trunk. Soon, we'll also give you all the in-depth features
of the trunk. Also, compare it to the
Avant, to the Estate and, yeah, in this
case here also then the S5 model together
with the Audi Sport badge right here and
new light technology. On top of that, you can also get the OLED and it's really interesting if you also look from the side, these are very, very small layers that stand out and they are really very crisp and different features are available. It has this approaching
light, sometimes it works here when you are a human, sometimes not. It's more like when the vehicle is approaching that you then have like an effect, say like, hey, stay away from me. And what's also cool is when I use the brake pedal
now, look at that. So I turn on the ignition. So, now I use the brake pedal and then
you can also see here how the brake light basically appears
behind the OLED. That looks really
amazing, doesn't it? And also the turning
indicators here in a cascading style when you have the Matrix LED. So, they play a lot with light and you can also switch through different light signatures and so on. So, to individualize your vehicle, the S model here gets this additional spoiler on the top. It's also black, but
this is one part that is always black and
not part of the edition. Ah, there we go. So, Lea has... is a
vehicle here today. No, she's very slim. Perfect body, of course. And then here, you can see, maybe you need to
come closer again. Maybe, maybe. There we go. Just in the approaching light. And I think it's a
useful feature because told it also, you know, like in a couple of other videos before where we've seen that there are these guys that come so close, maybe even at the traffic light, it's like, do you want to drive into my vehicle or what? And then it's like, yeah. Get off man, you know, so I think it's a very cool feature to play
around with for sure. Then S5 exhaust tips and when you have the Black
package, it's also a little bit darker here around and real exhaust
here, pretty cool. The standard would then be a little bit brighter here. So from the styling here, that's why I also picked this vehicle here as our first main exterior vehicle for today. This would be mine, not with the Black package, so this without the Black package, nice blue, and also here as the Sportback because I feel it combines this, hey, I have the beautiful exterior, at the same time, a great access to the rear. And when I've
seen this now, to me, it's more an
A5 successor, to Audi, it's more an A4 successor, but yeah, the truth is, it's both. It's a successor for
both, definitely. Then, you have
standard suspension. Then you have a fixed sport suspension, 20 millimeters lower, or you have a sport adaptive suspension. It's also 20 millimeters lower, but then with
adaptive dampers, which you can
also rule then with sport, comfort
setting, and so on. And here is then our
estate for today with even more colors
coming up back there. It's going to be very interesting. So this is here Horizon
Blue, a little bit frosty gray, lighter blue, something like that. And you can see here, the tail lamps signature is basically the same, but you can of course pick your individual one. And then we have the typical estate or Avant form. However, it's not that steep here, so it has some kind of, yeah, maybe a little bit shooting brake design, I would say, so definitely more central design here also for the Avant, for the Estate, and some like that more. In Germany, it's
definitely all the way with the Avant, the A4 is bought as the Avant, that's the period, but then
when you look at the rear and see an Estate and read A5, it's like, my brain can't cope
with that, you know. Can yours? Tell me in the comments. I mean, maybe
we'll get used to that at some point
and then it's fine. And in this case, of course, you see that, you know,
if you go for the Sportback or for
the Estate trunk, they open now in an
almost similar way. Here's interesting,
we soon do trunk comparison here,
that the cover here goes up and when it closes, you can't see it right now because the window is dark, but now it goes
back, maybe you see the shadow slightly, so electric slider here then for this cover is also quite a practical feature, isn't it? Of course, we have to talk about the engines as well. Top of the line here, the 3-liter V6, the known one for the S5, 367 horsepower, all-wheel drive with a rear-wheel bias, and this now gets an MHEV system, and this is really supposed to save significant fuel. So, that's at least
what they promise. Of course, when we drive this vehicle, we will find out for you. Then, you have the 2-liter TDI with 204 horsepower. This also receives the MHEV system, and then
we have some petrol engines without mild hybrid system,
and that would be the 2-liter TFSI with 150 or with 204 horsepower, and the entry-level version is also available with front-wheel drive. Lea signals me that I need to stretch my shirt a little bit because
the microphone is... Oh yeah, this is a 4K, full-screen, full-length shirt. Of course, you can buy the merchandise now, so
check out our shop. Thank you so much everyone. Yeah, you've been asking me for that for 10 years and finally we got everything together and now it's like... Everything is certified and organic cotton and so on. So we want to have like good quality or nothing. And yeah, now it's finally there. What also will be
coming up later is a plug-in hybrid then based on the 2 liter TFSI. That one then in two different horsepower stages also now with a way larger battery for the pure electric range. We also always have a pinned comment or the video description where you find all the engines' facts that are known so far. There will be more engines coming up later as well, on both sides: on the entry-level side and RS5. There will be something for you as well, and we will definitely keep you updated with all of that. And here, this was our Avant in the full spec. I will just leave
the stage for just a second here in
the Horizon Blue. I think it also works as the estate, you know, very well. So, exterior design, I think they really nailed
it with this one. And then, we have
one more Avant, and this is here the,
it's an S5 Avant. Seriously? I mean, this is even, like an even bigger
problem for my brain. You read S5 in close, then the camera goes back,
and it's an estate. And your brain is
like, it's not possible. Yeah, it is possible. Obviously, you see it now, but I definitely have to
get used to that. Do you as well? Tell me in the comments. Here, once again, the biggest 20-inch wheels, and here, my favorite styling also for the S5, no matter if
sedan or estate. Here, the chrome
frame around and also the bright
accentuation lower part. Here, then, the silver
mirrors as well. I would keep it
like it is right here. And also in the front, this
would be my S styling definitely. Also, with the bright
inserts right here, bright styling left and right, I think
it's really important not to go for the Black package
to have the white Audi rings. They are two-dimensional now,
and if they are two-dimensional, just the best, you know,
look at that. You see, okay, it's an Audi, but then
you look at that one here. Maybe you see it from the shape,
but when we look from here. You can't really see the rings, right, you know? You can never see
it from the distance. And also when
you drive in front of it, look in the mirror, it's like, ah, maybe it could be an Audi, but I don't see the
logo, you know? But here, when the rings are white, you do see the logo. So this is, by the way,
here, Daytona Gray. And then there's, was it Magnet Gray, I think? Yeah, it was
Magnet Gray, yeah. This one here is Magnet Gray. It has, like the Daytona's a little bit, hmm. I'm the male here, so I'm not an expert in colors. This one is darker. Okay, Lea knows it better. Women are just so
much better with colors. Men are like, oh, there are five colors in this world, and women are always like, there are 500 colors in this world. But I heard it has really something to do with the eyes, that it's like a physical thing, you know. But maybe we are
just too stupid. I don't know. Yeah, but this is another kind of grey color. That's true. And I think it's also
working very well. It has kind of like
a matte nuance, although it's not a matte color. Once again, here
the Black package. This one here is a sedan or fastback or sportback. I would call it sportback,
but Audi doesn't. And then here, there's also a special launch color where you have, you know, another color insert in the very front. I think design-wise, they all work very well, just that I would not personally pick the Black package over, but I do. Before we let the ruler of truth decide here about the trunk, look at that here in the lower part. The Autogefühl Fake Exhaust Police has been working for you for over 10 years and this is the result. No fake exhaust anymore with the Audi A4
or the Audi A5. Yeah, because it's
called Audi A5 now. Yeah, and it's both. Okay, we had that earlier. So, no fake exhaust
anymore, real exhaust. The TFSI gets them, like, on both sides, one each. The TDI, the diesel, will have, like, just on one side, actually, but no fake exhaust on the other one. So, yeah, you can also get the fake exhaust, the Audi fake exhaust for this shirt, by the way. I love that shirt. It's actually my favorite one. Now, the trunk here
of the A5... sedan. The width is a meter or 40 inches and then the length here is one meters and nine or 43 inches. Underneath there's
in here the like the studio cabling it
will look different. So there we go. Then, this is like a parcel shelf you can also remove. To fold the seats,
you have to go around, but the great
thing is, I mean, it looks great on the
outside, central styling, but such a great
access to the rear. So, I think that's really a great decision to
go for that one. Then, you can fold
the seats here, two-third, one-third
split, and then we go here with
the full length in 4K, and this then
to the driver's seat. About 185 or 73 inches. So, 445 liters for
the sportback... sedan, sorry about that, and 480 liters for the estate, not too much of a difference. You can see the difference
is here, you have more height here in
the lower back area. The length itself is, yeah, more or less the same. The same also goes for
the width and so on. It's really different than right here, and the second big difference is you can unlock the seats from here. That's, of course, a
very practical feature that you can directly
load things through, and, of course, yeah, this here, this electric cover that ultimately
goes back again. So, Lea want to show
that to you actually. So, she climbed in the vehicle now in the rear, and when I close it, then from the other side, you can see how it slides back. Key fob here in matte black, which is quite good. Then, the door
handles here are basically hidden
on the inside here. There's no physical
feedback or something. Door closing sound, that sounds really good, right? And the rear doors, that
sounds even better. So, yeah, I really like it. So, great door closing sounds. What about the interior
quality right here? This is here somewhat hard, but it doesn't look hard, but it is actually quite hard, let's say, little bit maybe.
Then we have a nice fabric covering
here, so this is quite a cool thing. There's also this
three-dimensional imprint. Do you remember where we've seen exactly this? Yeah, if you are a very diligent subscriber, you know that we have seen this here with the new Bentley
Continental GT. Interesting, right? Then this is also
an S-line interior. We have the badge right here at the steering
wheel, flat bottom, perforated sides, then also the fabric insert here
in this very case. You have this one large black panel when the infotainment system and instruments are off, soon they are going to be alive. These are lovely seats here. These are the sports seats actually, but in fabric, grey fabric on the inside, a little bit darker on the outside, and they will also deliver you the best comfort because they have the softest and most plush bolstering. Then you can also electronically adjust them right
here, this then also in the front, the electric
lumbar support at front and back
and so on, and, yeah, this is a very comfortable feeling because the
other thing that Audi wants to do is making
this segment here basically like one
segment more above. That's why also
here the electric control of the steering wheel, yeah, I mean, it has
grown in length. It's meanwhile pretty
long, what used to be maybe an A6 in the past or something like that. So, yeah, it feels
very elaborated and it also gets, you
know, like this new screen format we have
already, for example, seen with the Audi
Q6 e-tron recently. So, yeah, it definitely makes, in this respect, a little
bit more upmarket impression on the first
hand. And headroom here in the front
with the fixed roof. And the cockpit overview here, this is completely new, 12-inch instruments, 14.5 infotainment, and an 11-inch passenger screen as an option where you can also watch
YouTube, for example, and you cannot see that as a driver
while driving then. At the moment, I can see it stationary, but
not while driving. Also pretty cool
how the ambient lighting is integrated, first of all, in the front of the windshield all the way around,
and it also gives you, for example,
here when I hit the turning indicator
or also the hazard lights on both sides, then you have this animation
then also with the indicators, so yeah, very nice light feature definitely. By the way, as for the seats, as I said, these ones will give you best comfort because like the other animal skin alternatives, Audi is not into that yet, so they're really lagging behind that one. There's also a
Dinamica microfiber seat available, for example, then, and in
general, a base seat, a sport seat, and
an S sport seat. That's like the logic. Here, we have also fabric at the dashboard, by the way, and then in the lower part, more ambient lighting integration like that with adaptive cup holders, then real volume jog seal, at least that. Two USB-C chargers, and also inductive charging pad
with cooling holes. This is here for
shifting: D and reverse. It's a pretty easy
and nice solution. Then the drive select for the driving modes, you can also click it here, then it appears up there in the infotainment screen, so there's one solution not to do everything in the screen, at least with that and the volume. Here, nice armrest,
you can fold it up, some space underneath,
and you can also adjust the height right here with this button, so
also a nice solution. Good size for the
steering wheel, you have shifting paddels as well,
and I would say we have to still take a
look at the, oh, that mirror here, yeah, that's the way it's correct. Yeah, sometimes I'm
a little bit nerdy there when the details are not very precisely correct. Driver POV, you
can change what you see in the
digital instruments. Also, for example, on the left or on the right side. And then there, we also have a head-up display and you can check out some more studio lights right there. You also have more
information in there. By the way, here, optional
B&O sound system, 20 speakers, and they are all over the vehicle. If you really look
here to the right, it's the biggest screen
that Audi has so far, and it has this Android
Automotive base, so it works definitely
quicker than before. So, yeah, definitely
more responsive. Climate unit,
however, is integrated right here, and they
have this bar here that you can rest
your hand while clicking something,
but sometimes I also find it distracting
in a way because, yeah, maybe you
have to do it like this, and then you have
to see, like, how do you coordinate
that with your fingers? Yeah, this would probably be the best solution. You rest your three
fingers here and then click right here,
but it can also be blocking them at the
same time, so I'm not sure if this was
the best idea overall. What do you think? Because here, when
I do click like this, my fingers are
blocking here, and then I was, yeah,
I don't know what to make of this,
honestly, or maybe do you have a
better idea for that? Rear seats, first of
all, the rear doors, yeah, they look
quite fancy, but it's rather hard than
here in the rear, then here with the fabric
covering, no fabric on the inside of the
doors, neither in the front nor in the rear,
and then the legroom, as I'm driving, where
you can use this recess here, and you
know that the length in threes, has all gone into the wheelbase,
so we have more legroom than before in the A4, but it's not like
plenty of legroom. You can see here, you can sit here as an adult, but it's not plenty of space, honestly, for the length. And headroom, yeah, also works here,
this, the Sportback or the sedan with the
low roofline without the panoramic roof,
so it will be better in the Avant and also with
the panoramic roof. I'm soon going
to compare that. Yeah, the comfort in general is actually quite okay, but it's not that it's a special vehicle for rear transport. Also, here in the middle part, there's a large middle tunnel, works more or less a little bit harder, of course, not ideal. Then, you have here in the middle console two
USB-C chargers next to a separate climate unit, even with seat heating. ISOFIX here in the
lower part, you can slide it actually open or
close it again, and then this one down, adaptive cup holders, which are
actually also good build quality, and then you can also use this ski
hatch right here. Here, headroom
comparison with the estate, with the
Avant, and also with panoramic roof,
panoramic roof available for both in the
Sportback or Sedan just leave it that way. And here there's definitely more headroom,
so there's a little bit more headroom in the Avant in the rear, plus a little bit more headroom with
the glass roof. And then you have the
max headroom, which would be the logic. If you come closer, this
is also here the panoramic roof with the electrochrome function. And if you look at that, you can have the zebra look, although I don't see any logical reason why you would possibly use one or other because either you want to have the
sun blocked out or not. Right? So this way it's clean. And then you can also
have it slide through with this effect right here or go back again. However, as a car user, I would wish just basically
two functionalities: open and close. Why would you need
something else, right? I mean, maybe you could argue like, maybe like
this, for example. No, I mean like... this. If you would say, for example, shade for the dog or for the kids and no shade for the front. Maybe that would be
the only use case. Pricing €45,000 is a
German entry price. I already have for you. The Avant is €1,650
more expensive than the Sportback or Sedan. I will just keep calling
it A5 Sportback, period, even though
Audi calls it A5 Sedan. Sorry, Audi. Yeah, and this one
will also be offered on the Northern American
market, the Avant not. The estate, then, will
be more important for the German market,
and I would like to know from you: what
do you think about this whole renaming thing,
merging two segments? Mercedes did that with
the Mercedes CLE, merging the coupé segments of the E and C-Class. Here, now, they did
this with the whole midsize segment, claim
to be upper midsize segment now to be
like a segment higher above, and partly, I
think, it also works. I think it looks stunning. The exterior design, I think, works very, very well. The others have received
a lot of criticism. I think this one will be received way better, both as a sportback
and also as the estate. So, share your
opinion, please, in the comments, and also tune into the competitors. We also had some cool
comparison episodes.
