Staying ahead: Audi has shown its willingness to evolve to a new consumer.
The last few Audi’s I’ve had on test have all left me more than satisfied. From the small A3 all the way to their flagship performance SUV, the RS Q8, Audi has just been finding the sweet spot when mixing comfort, technology and looks.
When the A5 was launched last year, I noticed that this model began a shift in the brand’s design language and styling. It’s almost more sharp and refined with elements that really embrace the technological shift that vehicles have undergone in recent years.
From the outside, it no longer looks like it’s keeping up but it’s staying ahead. At the front, a wider and flatter Singleframe grille with a three-dimensional honeycomb structure is framed by slim, precisely drawn headlights. Together, they create a focused and assertive look.
The clean lines featured on the side of the car run seamlessly towards the back. However, it is the back that makes this vehicle.
