New facelifted Audi A5 - Deliveries to commence in December

New Facelifted Audi A5

The new revamped super cool Audi A5 Coupe, Sportback and Cabriolet will soon be available but what will you be getting for your money?
Is it true that that you can save 11% on fuel? Well apparently that is the average saving across all the engines; however some are offering a huge reduction of 22% on CO2 emissions, making this car a great car for business users as the personal tax will be less. Three petrol engines will be available along side four diesels. The new entry level 1.8TFSI offers more power than ever before yet with improved fuel consumption and reduced CO2 which is fantastic.

Enough about the engines and lets move to the good stuff! What new equipment is on the new face lifted A5? It seems as though this facelift is more about tweaks improving quality rather than actual new equipment. The headlights are now slimmer, LED running lights are still an added extra. The tail lights have also changed slightly and the new bumpers make the car 1mm longer.
Inside is also full of little tweaks; the dials that used to change the (optional) heated and vented seats are now funky buttons. There is a new key and a new knob for automatic transmission and a vast array of interior trim options to choose from. The A5 Sportback now offers the added extra of a fifth seat with a seat belt.

There are upgrades to the power steering and a tiredness detector that tracks your driving patterns and tells you if you need to pull over for a break (it might never let me drive it!) The MMI has reduced the bottons to four and has improved digital reception.
The price increase should only be minimal, a couple of hundred pounds and deliveries will be commencing in December. My gut feel although not confirmed, I think that this facelifted model will enhance residual values leading to some fantastic new face lifted Audi A5 Leasing deals.
