The 2026 Audi A5 has been reviewed in its first drive in Australia, with various models being tested, including the e-hybrid and Avant versions. The vehicle is seen as a rival to the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz CLA. Reviews of other models in the Audi lineup, such as the RS5 and S5 Avant, have also been published, although it is unclear if these are part of the same launch or separate releases.
