The Audi A5 and S5 range has shrunk with the new-generation mid-size sedan and wagon.
Gone – at least for now – are any coupe, convertible or high-riding allroad wagon variants.
The previous A4 Sedan and A5 Sportback have been replaced with a single liftback body style confusingly called the A5 Sedan.

A5 Sedan
There will be just one of these sedan variants available in Australia, with the other four members of the A5/S5 lineup being S5s with a turbocharged 3.0-litre mild-hybrid V6 powertrain.
Two of these are ‘edition one’ variants, effectively a launch edition that foregoes some of the niceties of the pricier S5 but comes at a lower cost.
If you want a mid-size Audi wagon, you now have to pick either the S5 Avant or S5 Avant edition one.
Audi says the five-member lineup is due in showrooms soon.
