Recently, a group of test spy photos purportedly been exposed on the Internet that are purportedly SAIC Audi A5L models, and there has been quite conclusive news that the new generation of Audi A5 models will be produced by SAIC Audi and FAW Audi respectively two different products, before FAW Audi's new A4L has been exposed, this A5L exposure and brother models are indeed different in terms of details.
Specifically, there should be no obvious changes in the front face, which is consistent with the overseas version of the new A5, the polygonal large-mouth grille is more flat and wide, and there is an obvious lower grille under the middle layer, which still forms a double-layer layout, showing a stronger sense of hierarchy. There are flat headlight clusters on the left and right sides, and the double-layer structure adds a sharp belt to give it a stronger sense of technology. On the side of the body, it ushered in the focus of improvement, compared with the previously exposed FAW version, the most significant difference is of course the use of frameless doors, continuing the characteristics of SAIC Audi A7L, and at the same time, the fastback roof transition has also changed to a certain extent, it should be said that it is closer to the overseas version of the new A5 There are not so obvious sedan lines, which enhances the sense of sportiness.
But then again, there is still a pronounced rear end, not a true Sportback line like the old Audi A5, which can also be seen from the picture from the rear view. Of course, semi-hidden door handles and large wheels will not be absent as standard equipment for the new generation of the A5 family. The rear part of the car is as mentioned above, the tailgate is not the kind of shape that slips to the bottom, or there is a clearly prominent platform structure, more like a Skoda Octavia, the raised ducktail enhances the sense of sportiness, the through-type taillights should be a unified design, the embossed structure highlights the three-dimensional sense, the license plate suspension position is located at the rear bumper, which should also be the main difference with the FAW version, and the flat bilateral double exhaust of the rear bumper part maintains the sense of sportiness it deserves.
In the interior part, according to the practice of the Volkswagen Group, the new car should not be significantly different from the FAW version or the overseas version, which is the iconic slightly curved dual-linked suspension large-size LCD screen, the new design composed of the co-pilot's entertainment screen, the exquisite paddle shift, and the extended rear space and other elements will not be absent, reflecting good practicality. In terms of power, it should be built on the PPC platform, as an upgraded version of MLB, it is still a 2.0T engine with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, but it will upgrade the electrification equipment with stronger intelligence.
More information can only be further announced in the official, judging from the current progress of the two brother models, it should not be officially launched in the short term, after all, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has not declared, and the real listing will most likely wait until next year. It is worth looking forward to what kind of performance can be held in the future.
