Gulf Weekly New Audi A5 range on Middle East roads

Audi’s refreshed A5 model series has now arrived in showrooms across the Middle East.

The Sportback, the CoupÈ and the Cabriolet now feature cutting-edge technologies which make them even more efficient, sporty and powerful – regarding the engines, the chassis and infotainment alike.

Audi has expanded the engine portfolio for the A5 range in the Middle East and now offers a new entry-level 1.8 TFSI multitronic, a 2.0 TFSI quattro S tronic and a 3.0 TFSI quattro S tronic for all body variants. The 3.0 TFSI generates 272 hp and represents the first time Audi offers a supercharged V6 in the A5 Sportback and Cabriolet. The 2.0 TFSI A5 Cabriolet now features quattro four-wheel drive as a standard.
 
All the engines are turbocharged direct-injection units which provide plenty of torque; even the entry-level engine delivers 320Nm of torque. Their CO2 emissions have been reduced by up to 18 per cent. The A5 CoupÈ sips a mere 5.8l/100km – which equates to 134gm of CO2 per km – the best of any vehicle in its class.
 
On the outside the new Audi A5 features a high-gloss, black single-frame grille and bumper, sleek fog lights as well as xenon plus headlights.

The A5 range has seen extensive refinements and now offers an easier entry with the Audi A5 Sportback 1.8 TFSI at a base price of around BD16,880. For more details contact the Audi Centre Bahrain showroom on 17459933.
