2012 Audi A5

New details are starting to emerge about the 2016 Audi A5, which will reportedly be unveiled later this year before going on sale in early 2015.

According to Car & Driver, the redesigned A5 will have an evolutionary exterior, a futuristic interior and tech gadgetry including LED headlights, a head-up display and autonomous driving functionality.


It is expected to ride on the second iteration of the Volkswagen Group’s MLB modular-longitudinal architecture, which is known as MLB Evo. The car will be 90.7 kg lighter than its predecessor thanks to the use of more aluminum.

Engine options remain a mystery but will likely include upgraded versions of the turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder and supercharged 3.0-liter V6. Meanwhile, the range-topping RS5 could use a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine.
