Inside, the A5’s cabin shares many similarities with the Q6 e-tron, thanks to Audi’s “Digital Stage” infotainment system. The dashboard houses an 11.9-inch digital driver’s display and a 14.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system. An optional 10.9-inch passenger screen allows the front passenger to stream videos while on the move. This modern interior design, complete with ambient lighting and a sweeping dash, represents a significant upgrade over the A4’s well-made but ageing cabin.
For those choosing the S5, additional sporty touches include unique seats and an S-specific steering wheel, adding to the dynamic driving experience.
The new Audi A5 is expected to be available for orders in the UK starting August 2024, with initial deliveries anticipated by the end of the year. However, given its enhanced features and modern design, we anticipate a slight increase over the outgoing A4's pricing structure. Potential buyers should keep an eye on Audi’s official website and Nationwide Vehicle Contracts website for the latest updates, availability and best hot deals.
The new 2024 Audi A5 marks a significant evolution for Audi’s compact executive saloon.

Whether you’re a long-time Audi fan or a newcomer to the brand, the A5 offers something for everyone, blending performance, luxury, and practicality in a sleek new package.
As we look forward to its release later this year, it’s clear that the A5 is set to make a strong impression in the competitive executive saloon market. Stay tuned for more updates as the release date approaches, and prepare to be captivated by Audi's latest offering.
