On November 15, 2024, the 22nd Guangzhou International Automobile Exhibition opened, with FAW Audi showcasing its product lineup. The models released included the Audi Q6L Sportback e-tron, the new Audi A5L, and the Audi RS 6 Avant GT making its debut in China.
FAW Audi also unveiled the new A5L model at the Guangzhou Auto Show. In naming, to distinguish between electric and fuel models, the Audi A5L became the successor to the A4L.
The Audi A5L has been upgraded from the original A4L’s MLB EVO platform to the PPC platform. It represents the Audi brand, equipped with the latest electronic and electrical architecture for fuel vehicles, with intelligence levels comparable to those of the Q6L e-tron, offering L2++ intelligent driving capabilities.
As the first model on the PPC platform, it debuted globally, applying the Audi E³ 1.2 electronic architecture to a fuel vehicle. Design features include a three-dimensional honeycomb grille, matrix LED headlights, and OLED taillights, with enhanced connectivity.
In terms of appearance, it does not follow the overseas fastback design but adopts a more traditional sedan style, with a length approaching 5 m and a wheelbase near 3 m. It will also feature the fifth-generation EA888 engine for the first time. What do you think about the new Audi A5L?
