Design & Presence

The Audi A5 Avant wears crisp, sculpted lines that give an estate more coupé than commuter‑car energy, its low roof and long bonnet creating a poised silhouette across its 4,829 mm length and 1,860 mm width. The face is unmistakably Audi — sharp lights and a wide grille that read premium from a distance, while the roofline keeps luggage loading lower and easier. Overall the styling balances sportiness with everyday dignity and gives a busier driveway a touch of class.

Interior & Usability

Inside the A5 Avant the cabin matches the exterior with tight build quality, tactile materials and a clear hierarchy of controls that feels premium without being fussy. The driver gets Audi’s crisp digital displays and a logical MMI layout, while rear visibility and headroom are reasonable thanks to the estate roof, though taller passengers will notice the sloping roofline. The sense is of a grown-up interior where ergonomics and finishing compete with the best in class.

Space & Everyday Practicality

Space is where the Avant earns its keep: boot volume ranges from about 361 to 476 litres in everyday versions and expands to as much as 1,424 litres with the rear seats folded, although plug‑in hybrid packaging reduces luggage room at the lower end. Practical touches such as a low load lip, split folding rear seats and optional roof rails make loading bikes or a large stroller straightforward. Payload figures around 480–535 kg and fuel tank options from 46–60 litres mean the car can handle long trips with people and luggage without drama.

Driving & Handling

On the move the A5 Avant aims for a balance between composed comfort and sharp responses: lighter petrol and diesel versions feel nimble while the heavier plug‑in hybrids and S5 tilt toward momentum and muscle. Power ranges dramatically from around 150 hp in entry petrols up to 367 hp in the S5, with 0–100 km/h times from roughly 9.8 seconds in modest engines down to about 4.5 seconds in the quickest variants, and quattro all‑wheel drive adds grip when required. Steering is precise rather than playful and the suspension soaks bumps with controlled body motion, making the Avant easy to live with on long journeys or winding B‑roads.

Efficiency/Consumption & Range

Efficiency varies by drivetrain: the plug‑in hybrids can show very low combined consumption figures around 2.1–2.2 L/100 km on official cycles thanks to an electric range of about 104–108 km and a 20.7 kWh battery, which in real life covers most daily commutes without using fuel. Conventional petrols will typically sit in the mid‑6 to high‑7 L/100 km range on mixed driving while diesels return closer to 5–5.2 L/100 km, so choice of engine defines running costs. For buyers who can regularly recharge, the PHEV delivers the biggest fuel savings; for high‑mileage drivers the diesel remains the most economical long‑distance companion.

Assistance & Infotainment

The A5 Avant comes equipped with a modern suite of driver aids including adaptive cruise, lane assist and traffic jam assist that reduce fatigue on highways and in stop‑start traffic, while parking systems and rear‑cross traffic alerts help in tight urban lots. The infotainment uses Audi’s MMI touchscreen and a clear virtual cockpit, offering crisp maps, smartphone integration and configurable driver displays that are easy to read at a glance. Updates and optional driver assistance packs make the car feel up to date, though some advanced features are tied to higher trims or options lists.

Who is it for?

The A5 Avant suits buyers who want an estate that prioritises style and refinement over raw utility, offering a premium cabin and a broad choice of engines from efficient plug‑in hybrids to the sporty S5. It is a good match for professionals and small families who need weekend luggage space and low running costs if choosing a PHEV, while drivers who value dynamics can opt for the more powerful quattro variants. Overall it’s an elegant, versatile alternative to SUVs for those who prefer a sleeker profile without sacrificing practicality.
