2010 Audi A5/S5 Media Information
Acclaimed by the media for its beautifully innovative styling and superb driving dynamics, the A5 becomes even more attainable in 2010, thanks to the introduction of a 2.0 TFSIо variant, which delivers 211 horsepower and an astounding 258 lb-ft of torque through quattro all-wheel drive. A 2010 Audi A5 quattro with manual transmission now can be had for a full $4,700 less than its predecessor, a manual transmission-equipped 2009 A5 3.2 quattro.
The progressive design of the A5 continues to give the swooping coupe an appearance that is both elegant and dynamic, with the only change in appearance being a new wheel design for the A5 2.0 T Premium, and LED taillights on Premium Plus and Prestige models.
“The Audi A5 is the most beautiful car I have ever designed,” says Walter de’Silva, head of Volkswagen Group Design, with absolute conviction. The precisely drawn lines that gracefully interplay with powerful surfaces, the expressive front face, and the equally distinctive tail end yield a wholly desirable coupe. The daytime running lights, comprising a strip of eight LEDs on each side, make the A5’s optional Xenon headlights absolutely unmistakable.
Inside, the driver is surrounded with the upscale features expected of Audi vehicles, including three-zone automatic climate control and an extra-large panoramic tilting roof, which lends the A5 an especially open and airy interior. Audi third-generation MMI is new for 2010, with lightning fast navigation, 3D map topography and SIRIUSо traffic.
The introduction of A5 and S5 Cabriolet marks the expansion of the A5 model line and the replacement for the 2009 A4 and S4 Cabriolet nameplates. Featuring an innovative cloth acoustic roof that folds in a class-leading 15 seconds at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour, it is lighter than a retractable hard top and improves driving dynamics, center of gravity, and fuel efficiency as a result. Safety continues to be a top priority for Audi, which offers more models earning “Top Safety Pick” recognition from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety than any other German luxury car brand.
The A5 and S5 Cabriolet feature the latest safety features expected from a modern German luxury 4-seater convertible, including active roll bars behind the seats, front airbags, knee airbags, seat-mounted side head/chest airbags, and ESP stability control. Several packaging innovations come from the cloth acoustic roof, including rear passenger reading lights and class-leading 50/50 flat-folding rear seats. The A5 and S5 Cabriolet also come with available head-level heating built into the seats, enabling passengers to enjoy a longer top-down motoring season. The front seatbelt presenter puts the belt well within reach of front drivers and passengers as a convenience and safety feature, while ensuring effortless entry or exit.
