AUDI has given its expansive A5 range its first pull-through since the A5 made its debut in coupe form back in 2007, ahead of the cabrio and Sportback variants that broadened the line-up in subsequent years. The German company’s designers have not fiddled with the acclaimed exterior design too much, apart from new headlights, grille, wheels and other touches, instead handing over to the engineers to bring the range up to date with some new engines, fuel-saving technologies such as idle-stop and electric-assisted power steering, as well as new interior trims and improved controls. As one of the older models in the Audi line-up, the A5 and its sportier S5 version still boast a timeless design, but has the latest facelift been enough to keep pace with a galloping opposition?
