Audi is proud to introduce the newly re-designed Audi A5 to our 2013 line of luxury vehicles. This model brings segment-leading technology and infotainment to the 2013 model year.
The Audi A5 features the award-winning 2.0 TFSI engine and provides 211 horsepower and 258 lb-ft. of torque. The A5 Cabriolet comes standard with front-wheel drive and multitronic transmission, while the A5 has quattro standard and six-speed manual. An eight-speed tiptronic® transmission is optional on quattro models.
The chassis of the A5 balances sporty precision with high ride comfort. Aluminum components of the five-link front suspension and the trapezoidal-link rear suspension provide responsive handling and are optimized to reduce weight. Audi dynamic steering, which varies the effort as well as the steering ratio, and Audi drive select are featured in the A5. Drive select allows the driver to adjust throttle response and transmission settings exactly to their liking with their choice of Comfort, Auto, Dynamic or Individual settings.
The interior of the A5 models features new, elegant finishes and reconfigured climate and infotainment controls. The gear shift, steering wheel, and instrument panel have been enhanced with chrome and high-gloss applications. 18-inch wheels come standard on the A5 and 19-inch wheels are optional.
Audi offers several advanced technology features for A5 including adaptive cruise control with “stop & go” and “brake guard” capability. This capability can detect stationary vehicles and apply full braking below 19mph. Driving in the A5 is also enhanced active lane assist which helps maintain lane discipline should the driver begin to sway outside of the lane markings without using the turn signal.
Audi is the first company worldwide to feature factory-installed wireless internet, enabling the innovative infotainment system called Audi connect™. Previously available in the A6, A7, A8 and Q7, Audi connect will now be available on all A5 models, making the A5 the first in its class to feature this level of integrated connectivity. With Audi connect, the onboard MMI® Navigation system is enhanced with Google Earth™ maps and real-time SiriusXM Traffic information, for a true aerial view of the route. Audi connect also features real-time localized weather, news and live fuel prices; Google Local Search for detailed information about travel destinations, such as restaurant or hotel hours, pricing and customer reviews; the myAudi Destination feature, which allows registered users to log on to Google Maps™ from any location and download up to 50 destinations to the vehicle; and a rolling Wi-Fi hotspot, allowing up to eight Wi-Fi-enabled devices to simultaneously use the wireless connectivity.
