2025 Audi S5 Sportback Seen Refueling Before Test Run At The Nordschleife<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Audi is certainly taking its sweet time with its next-generation midsize cars because it feels like the new A4\/A5 has been undergoing testing for years. A new spy video shot at and around the N\u00fcrburgring puts the spotlight on prototypes of the hotter S5 in Sportback guise. It appears to have all the production body panels in place, along with the final lights. Despite the full disguise, we’re getting the feeling this will be an attractive car.<\/p>\n You likely won’t be able to choose between an S4 Sedan or an S5 Sportback anymore because the former is expected to get the proverbial axe. Rumor has it Audi won’t do another traditional sedan, meaning you’ll have to get the more practical hatchback\/liftback body style. In fact, there isn’t going to be an A4 at all since the alphanumeric designation will be reserved for a future EV. Consequently, today’s wagon will become the A5 Avant, and by extension, there are going to be S5 Avant and RS5 Avant models. Sounds weird, right?<\/p>\n
