Audi A5, S5, RS5 Coupe and Convertible Versions to Be Discontinued

TapTechNews July 14th news, according to foreign media motor1 reports, the coupe and convertible versions of Audi A5, S5, and RS5 will not be updated to the 2025 model year and will face discontinuation. Audi will retain the four-door coupe version, and this German luxury brand is streamlining its product portfolio.

The report says that the reality is that the sales of two-door cars are very poor. Don't forget that Audi has already discontinued the TT and R8 models, and the A3 convertible has disappeared from Audi's lineup for many years. While Audi's competitor Mercedes has merged the C-Class coupe/convertible and the E-Class coupe/convertible to create the CLE coupe/convertible.

The report also reiterates that Audi has decided that fuel-powered cars will have odd numbers in their names, while all electric vehicles will be named with even numbers. For this reason, the original internal combustion engine-powered A6 will become A7, making room for the lineup of the electric A6 E-Tron.

TapTechNews noted that on July 16th, the new generation of Audi A5 (actually the successor model of the fuel-powered Audi A4) will complete its world debut. The official also showed the teaser image of the new generation of Audi A5, adopting the stance of a station wagon and is expected to be named the new generation of Audi A5 Avant. Audi CEO Gernot Döllner confirmed in an interview that the Audi A6 e-tron will be officially released at the end of July.
