Audi Likely To Launch New-Gen A5 And S5 Sportback In India
Key Highlights
  • Currently, only the first-generation S5 Sportback is sold in India
  • Both cars are based on the company's MLB platform
  • Audi will most likely launch both the cars together by mid- or late 2017
Adding to its already wide portfolio, Audi India might soon launch the new-gen A5 and the S5 Sportback in the country. Audi revealed the cars earlier this month and according to latest import reports, the Ingolstadt-based luxury carmaker recently imported single units of both the new Audi A5 35 TDI and the petrol S5 Sportback to India for homologation. Currently, the carmaker only offers the S5 Sportback in India, while the A5 will be an all-new model.

Both the models are yet to make their first public appearance, which will happen at the upcoming Paris Motor Show, early next month. Their arrival in the country even before their global debut indicates that Audi India plans to launch the cars as soon as possible. In fact, a few months back, we even spotted the new A5 Sportback in India, which was imported for testing purpose. While we have yet to confirm this from the company, Audi will most likely launch both cars together, by mid- or late-2017.

Both the new A5 and S5 coming that have come to India are the four-door versions and comes with similar styling and features. While globally the S5 Sportback comes in a two-door version as well, launching that variant in India might eat up the sales of the Audi TT, which is priced very similarly. Based on the company's MLB platform, the new-gen models come with a slightly longer wheelbase and more dynamic styling. Some of the key changes made to the cars' exterior profile include - short overhangs, wraparound domed hood with muscular creases, and a new single-frame grille. The cars also come with Audi's signature Matrix LED headlamps and a sporty front bumper that house the large air intakes and the small round fog lamps.

The feature list will also include a bunch of electronic goodies like - a large 12.3-inch for Audi Virtual Cockpit along with the MMI system with an 8.3-inch screen, touch-sensitive, and rotary control buttons for versatile operation of the infotainment system. The system also includes features like a 10 GB of internal flash storage, a DVD drive, Audi connect services free of charge for three years, up to five free navigation updates. Available safety tech includes lane keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, parking assistance, rear cross traffic alert, automated emergency braking, and road sign recognition.

Under the hood, the new-gen Audi A5 imported to India in the A5 35 TDI model that is powered by a 2.0-litre diesel motor that is capable of churning out a maximum of 187bhp and develops 400Nm of peak torque. The oil burner comes mated to 7-speed S-Tronic gearbox as standard. On the other hand, the new-gen Audi S5 comes mated to a more powerful 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine. The V6 petrol motor produces a maximum power output of 349bhp and develops a peak torque of 500Nm. Transmission duties in this car will be handled by an eight-speed automatic gearbox that will help the car propel from 0 to 100Km/h in just 4.7 seconds before reaching a top speed of 250Km/h.
