Audi A5 Avant: Medium -sized car could go PHEV in Australia

Audi Australia Has previously promised to offer cars in his line-up, although the successor to his A4 Avant is currently under a cloud of uncertainty, despite the powerful S5-Avant that is confirmed for the launch.

After an announcement of preliminary details for the new A5 and S5 series, the Audi team left an A5 -Avant out of an A5 -Avant to sit next to the S5 Avant flagship.

However, we can have an idea why.

Esther Choi, product manager at Audi Australia, hinted that a car-base A5 should offer a similar package if the A4 avant before that was only sold as a high-spec 45 TFSI quattro in the last days.

“If you looked at A4, our avants were always the quattro. [Avant] The customer’s demand has been for the higher cars instead of the input variants DUS Pay attention to this space, ”said Mrs. Choi Carexper.

Due to the omission, Mrs Choi may have given a few instructions on how the A5 -Line -up could expand in Australia, since the A5 Avant is currently being advertised as “soon” on the website of the brand, even though they are not mentioned in the first announcement of the launch.

Given the Entry-Level A5 Sedan Will Be Powered by A 150KW 2.0-Litre ‘TFSI’ Four-Cylinder Turbo-Petrol Engine in Australia Driving the Front Wheels, It Appears Audi’s Local Arm is Waiting for Addital Powertrain Variants To Be charninged fored forthed.

Strangely enough, the 150 KW 2.0 TFSI in Europe with 48V ‘MHEV Plus’ technology is only available in Europe with Quattro four-wheel drive, despite the fact that the same powertrain in Australia is only FWD.

The only other quattro variant that is available in foreign markets is a 150 KW 2.0-liter ‘TDI’ four-cylinder turbo codeysel, which would be unlikely to Australia.

Thus our attention focuses on the recent announcement of the A5 E-Hybrid range, unveiled in March with two power levels on both the A5-Sedan and Avant-body styles crucial, both variants come standard with Quattro four-wheel drive.

Both A5 E-hybrid models mate a 185 kW 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with a turbo vehicle with a 20.7 kWh Net/25.9 kWh gross lithium-ion battery, an electric motor with a maximum of 105 kW and a seven-speed gearbox with automatic transmission.

Available power levels are 220 kW/450 Nm or 270 kW/500 Nm, with the more powerful version that quoting a sturdy 0-100 km/h time as quickly as 5.1 seconds. All e-hybrid models are AWD and can be charged on AC stream up to 11 kW.

Perhaps even more important, EV-Driving range is no less than 110 kilometers on the WLTP cycle, with weighted combined fuel consumption quoted at 2.0-2.7 l/100 km, depending on the variant.

The A5 e-hybrid can be driven in EV or hybrid modes, using the first pure electric current until the battery is exhausted or if you place it in sports mode. The combustion engine also starts on kickdown.

The A5 e-hybrids can be powered on pure electrical power with speeds of up to 140 km/h.

Based on the previous form of Audi Australia with its TFSI e-brand plug-in hybrids, the local division usually opts for the PHEV option with higher output and positions it as a medium performance variant to be under the equivalent.

Carexper Understands that if the A5 Avant E-Hybrid (and Sedan) is confirmed for the Australian market, it is probably only offered with the Vleziger 270 KW/500 Nm-Melodie and a smuggling under the new S5 Sedan and Avant performance models priced.

Before he left production last year, the Audi S4 Sedan and Avant were priced of $ 110,715 and $ 113.215 respectively, both before on-road costs. Prices for the new generation of S5 Sedan and Avant have yet to be announced.

We expect a price increase for the new S5-two-starting around $ 115,000 $ 120,000, so the high output A5 e-hybrids can be worth six digits such as and when they arrive in Australian showrooms.

It is also worth noting that Audi Australia will also offer S5 Edition One models at the launch, pitched as “puristic” versions priced under the standard S5-Net as the previous “pure” compulsion M performance models from BMW.
