Audi Unveils Updated A5 and S5 With New Blacked-Out Styling and Enhanced Electronics

Audi has officially introduced updated versions of the A5 and S5 for the international market. The key changes focus less on exterior styling and more on the vehicles’ electronic systems. Both models receive a fully revised MMI infotainment system with a more intuitive interface, along with a wide range of new features.

The standard A5 now comes with darker, blacked-out design elements, while the sporty S5 stands out with a red logo on the front grille. Inside, the updates are more substantial: a new steering wheel with traditional rotary controls, an upgraded digital instrument cluster, and support for wireless headphones for the front passenger.

New features include a surround-view camera system, a heated steering wheel, a built-in dashcam, and an audio system with speakers integrated into the headrests. The A5 is offered with gasoline and diesel engines producing between 150 and 204 horsepower, while the S5 retains its 3.0-liter V6 rated at 367 horsepower, paired with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system.
