The Enigmatic Audi A5

The Enigmatic Audi A5

Date: 2015-10-09
In an instant, form becomes fascination. A brief moment. The blink of an eye. Sometimes that's as long as it takes to arouse enthusiasm. One glance at the Audi A5 is enough to sense that this is one of those moments. A coup. - completely reinterpreted. And a character that lets you experience in the first few metres that every moment is special.

What kind of vehicle is this Audi A5 Sportback? A coup. An Avant?

This vehicle does not fit into familiar categories. It defines a class of its own a five-door coup.. From the elongated, three-dimensionally worked bonnet through to the tail, the design echoes the classic form of a two-door.

The sharp distinctive lines give the vehicle expression and stance. The flat roof is stretched elegantly over the frameless doors and a sporty shoulder line accentuates the large wheels. Short overhangs and a longer wheelbase create additional dynamics.

The elegant yet powerful roofline of the Audi A5 Sportback is rounded off by its smoothly accentuated tail. The rear lights are particularly fascinating: they are the optical link between the shoulder line at the side and the edge of the bumper.

It only takes a millisecond for a normal driving situation to become a challenge. The best option is to detect dangerous situations early and thus avoid them if possible. The A5 Sportback has extensive assistance systems to help drivers with this. Audi active lane assist, which is available on request, for example, warns the driver if the vehicle is inadvertently drifting out of lane and gently intervenes in the steering if necessary, while the optional Audi side assist monitors the areas to the left, right and behind the vehicle and issues a warning during lane changing if there is a vehicle in the immediate vicinity in the adjacent lane.

There is so much to discover about the Audi A5, so get down to McCarthy Audi Umhlanga, 18 Meridian Drive, Umhlanga Ridge and take one for a test drive. Call ahead on 031 584 9600.
