Designed for drivers who want style without sacrificing space or comfort, the A5 Avant delivers a refined driving experience backed by Audi’s signature build quality and intelligent features. Whether for family life, business use or long-distance travel, it’s a modern estate built to elevate every journey.
Performance and Capability
The Audi A5 Avant delivers a confident and responsive driving experience from the moment you set off. With a 0–62mph time of 5.9 seconds, a top speed of 155mph, and smooth automatic transmission, it strikes an ideal balance between strong performance and everyday efficiency. Both petrol and PHEV options are available, allowing drivers to choose the powertrain that suits their lifestyle. The A5 Avant’s dynamic stance is completed by stylish 19” alloy wheels, reinforcing its sporting character on the road.
Premium Interior Comfort
Inside, the A5 Avant offers an elevated blend of comfort and craftsmanship. The front sport seats feature 4-way electric lumbar support and premium twin-leather upholstery, making longer journeys relaxed and supported. Edition 1 enhances the experience with microfiber dynamic and leatherette sports seats, adding a more athletic look and feel.
Ambient LED lighting with 30 selectable colours allows you to personalise the cabin atmosphere, while the S line trim introduces a flat-top and flat-bottom leather sport steering wheel with perforated grips. Heated front seats and 3-zone electronic climate control ensure that both the driver and passengers enjoy optimal comfort in every season.
Practicality and Everyday Usability
As a premium estate, the A5 Avant is built with everyday functionality in mind. Its 476-litre boot, paired with split-folding rear seats and a power-operated tailgate, offers versatile and easily accessible storage space. Whether for business use, family life or weekend travel, the A5 Avant provides the practicality required for a wide range of needs.
Advanced Digital Experience
Technology plays a major role in the A5 Avant’s appeal. The intelligent “Hey Audi” voice assistant responds to natural commands and learns your preferences over time, making interactions more intuitive the longer you drive the vehicle.
The digital interior includes:
11.9" Audi Virtual Cockpit display
14.5" MMI OLED touchscreen
10.9" passenger display (standard on Edition 1)
Dynamic privacy mode helps keep the driver focused by automatically reducing visibility of passenger screen content. For a more immersive experience, the optional Sound & Vision Pack introduces a high-contrast head-up display and the Bang & Olufsen 3D Premium Sound System, complete with headrest speakers.
Safety and Driver Assistance
The Audi A5 Avant is equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety and driver-assistance technologies designed to support the driver in every situation. Adaptive cruise control maintains a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, reducing stress during motorway journeys, while the rear-view camera enhances visibility when reversing in tighter spaces. Lane departure warning and lane assist work together to gently guide the vehicle back into its lane if it begins to drift. Park assist plus takes over the steering during parking manoeuvres, making parallel and bay parking more precise and controlled. Camera-based traffic sign recognition keeps you informed of changing speed limits and road signs, ensuring smoother and safer driving. Features such as swerve assist and turn assist help the car react predictively in sudden or complex situations, and the fatigue and driver attention monitor detects signs of tiredness and encourages the driver to take necessary breaks. Intersection assist provides an additional layer of awareness at busy junctions, helping to identify potential hazards from approaching traffic. On Edition 1, the proactive passenger protection system strengthens safety even further by preparing the vehicle’s restraints and structure when an imminent collision is detected, offering added reassurance for everyone on board.
Connectivity and Convenience
Keyless entry (standard on Edition 1) ensures smooth access, while the Audi smartphone interface, Audi application store, MMI Navigation Plus on a 14.5” OLED display, and a full 360° parking system makes every journey connected, intuitive and effortless.
The Verdict
The Audi A5 Avant brings together performance, comfort and advanced technology in a way that makes every journey feel effortless. Its refined design, intelligent features and everyday practicality create a well-balanced estate that suits a wide range of drivers. Whether navigating busy city streets or covering long motorway miles, the A5 Avant delivers a driving experience that feels consistently confident, modern and rewarding.
