Overview
On 16 July 2024, Audi replaced the A4/S4 Saloon and Avant with the third-generation A5/S5 as part of Audi's new strategy of allocating even numbers to electric vehicles and odd numbers to combustion cars. Coupé and convertible models are no longer offered for the third generation line-up. The saloon is equipped with a liftback and thus replaces both the A4 saloon and the A5 Sportback of the previous generation. The 'Avant' estate is still available. The A5 became available to order in July 2024, with deliveries beginning in European countries in November 2024.
Engines
The engines used are 2.0-litre in-line four-cylinder petrol engines from the EA888 series, 3.0-litre V6 petrol engines from the EA839 series and 2-litre in-line four-cylinder diesel engines from the EA288 evo series. Unlike its predecessor, the manual gearboxes are no longer available. Instead of fake tailpipe covers as in the previous generation, only real tailpipes are fitted in response to customer feedback. The A5 B10 is the first model series to use Audi's advanced second-generation mild hybrid called 'MHEV plus technology'.

Who it suits

- High-mileage or city drivers who want lower fuel use without charging.
Check before you buy
- Ask for a battery state-of-health report: the traction battery is the main value driver in a used hybrid or electric car. Battery SOH tool
- Check the emissions equipment (particulate filter, NOx treatment) and the destination country's emissions rules; some markets restrict used diesels.
- Ask for service records: turbocharged engines are sensitive to oil changes and cool-down habits.
- Read the auction sheet grade and notes, and verify the odometer against service and inspection records. How to read an auction sheet
- Run a history check (accidents, flood, mileage) before you bid. History check guide
- Import age rules: this generation already qualifies in Kenya. Confirm the rule for your exact vehicle with customs before buying. Landed-cost calculator
