I really don't understand why car manufacturers put these giant screens all over the dashboard to submerge the driver with information while cellphones are one of the main causes of accidents
Because ultra-wide screen is cheap when you order a lot. It make the the car interior simple and reduce a lot of complex tooling construction when making the mold of dashboard.
It is obvious. Trends. If you come with a car with a 10 inch screen and an overload of buttons, the actual market will ignore the car save for a few enthusiasts and some older folks that only want a car and no tech. I sometimes feel like you lot want cars to stay the same forever. They obviously won't. You cannot sell with that old conservative mindset anymore. 100% Kodak mentality if you think that doing the same old over and over will help sales. Even Toyota is doing bigger screens now. It is just how it is. You need to show that your brand is not dated and stuck in the past. If you think that developing a good functioning system is cheaper than just making some plastic buttons that will wear out and fade in 10-15 years? Come on. Dacia has small screen with almost no features and loads of buttons still. I highly doubt they are spending more money than Audi with big OLED screens and considering all the development it cost them.

Those car makers are making their friends design the cars. We should appreciate the old cars now because now the old cars looks so much beautiful than the new cars.
A5 sportback is the more like for like comparison though?. Afterall, the a4 and a5 are basically the same car in a different shell. They’re only saying it’s an a4 replacement to spell it out for current a4 owners that will be looking for a replacement

What the heck. The new A5 is quite good looking though. Audi is not going the same BMW or Merc route, at least for now and the next several years.. But the new design is still pretty good.. The old one is also incredibly good honestly
I agree the B8 generation was the best, it was so smooth, elegant and timeless. These new generations with their sharp lines and screens will age like sour milk. Just look at the Korean cars, each previous generation looks like they're ten years older than they are.
I like the new design to be honest, a little bit more organic, still in Audi DNA I agree with you about the monstruous screen inside When I’m driving I don’t need that screen
Additionally, the S5 Avant was spotted testing in the US with US spec side markers and US license plate mounting points. Food for thought, I haven't given up hope of getting a S avant again
This makes me love my 2016 TTS even more. Even with its singular screen that is the Virtual Cockpit, it has a very cozy feel (even at night). It’s customizable and I can give it a more classic layout that isn’t distracting. Although these new Audis aren’t really my cup of tea, at least they’re not all crossover SUVs. Long live sedans, coupes, and wagons 🙌❤️
I can’t agree with you more. This screen situation is completely out of hand. As for the design- if you pay Audi money, you don’t want people mistaking it for a Kia

I find It interesting when I see so many people complain about "too many screens" In the latest cars. The general consumer actually wants these screens. They like the tech, they absolutely love the passenger display, and they love all the new goodies that come with having a modern interior (cooled seats, ambient lighting, etc). Trust me, the people that want a ton of buttons and HATE "screens" are a very loud/vocal MINORITY. Regardless, people will have their opinions. I personally think the new B10 Audi interior is lightyears ahead of the current B9 and I own a B9.5 RS5.
@@rb3431 it feels like you're okay with those screens. I'm just curious, how old are you? Genuinely curious. Because based on the statistics new car buyers are the age of 50 plus. Those bimbos with absolutely no taste dictate what our next car will look like? As if destroying the economy wasn't enough for them.
It is how it is. Not going to change anytime soon. You cannot release a premium car with a tiny screen anymore in 2024. Even lexus has some 15 inch thing now.
Incredible, you picked up all points which I talked before about. Again you nailed it imo, always saying the first A5 facelift is the best of them all and one of the best coupé designs from german manufacturers all time. Keep it running Bembli
I think the exterior is a huge upgrade. It feels so refreshing and modernized. I like the squished grill cuz in combination with the lower part + side "vents" looks more dynamic and aggressive. The interior on the other hand... meh
Reason why they stretched front side grills so high almost touching the headlights is to make the from bumper look “deeper” without changing the actual dimension of the entire front bumper. They’ve done the same with the 2020 Q7 facelift.
Yup, doesn’t look like these giant screens are going anywhere for a while. I thought if enough people complained they might tone it down and bring back physical buttons, but no, it only gets worse
So glad I factory-ordered my Ascari Blue/Black Roof '23 RS5 Competition Coupe with all the goodies when I did. It has the front CCBs, Integrated Toll Module, and Wireless Charger, which at some points in the production were deleted due to supply chain constraints. My RS5 is a keeper!
It's a sedan that has a liftback, nothing too complicated. Wich all sedans should have, otherwise the trunk is useless, and then everybody will complain that family sedans are not selling comparing to SUV's. Audi is doing a good job with this one.
I like the exterior design and I like the S with the V6! Glad they didn't fit a smaller engine! 😃 RS versions will look very good... The interior is definitely a step backwards.
Personally, I think this new generation looks great! The screen infotainment and gauge cluster is something I was hoping to NOT see, but I’m glad the 3rd passenger screen is optional (to remove it). Overall, the exterior design is refreshing to me, but I’m more excited for the RS5 than the A5 and S5
This is very similar to mercedes combining the C and E Class Coupe. This is technically the replacement for the A4, but they're adding some of the A5 into it.
To be fair, putting a s5 next to a RS5 in terms of comparison n still having the new generation look even half as good is refreshing, that's a beautiful car, bring the narrow bodied S5 from the previous Generation, I wanna see something 🥱
Literally saw this car today on the road, went on TH-cam to watch a video on it cuz it looked amazing in person and I can definitely confirm this car doesn’t do justice on camera. The body lines don’t pop .
This guy is a very strange and hysterical person. His ranting about the new Audi A5 design is ridiculous and totally annoying! His critizism really makes no sense at all for 99%. I don't understand this guy. His annoyingly dumb ranting about the cool and modern looking curved screens.... Oh my god! EVERY new car has big screens, and 99% of car customers nowadays are even critizicing new cars with only smaller screens. Tesla started this huge screen thing, and every carmaker did the same thing. You can't stop progress. There can be only one opinion: both versions of the new A5 look amazing! There's almost no flaw in all the many design details of these two car versions. The A5 Avant design is PERFECT! Greetings from Germany!
@@Porsche1969 hahaha totally agree, car manufacturers need to give the consumers what they want. I mean apple had the iPhone mini and didn't sell. People wanted the bigger screens and apple geave the consumers the iPhone plus. So why assume car customers aren't demanding the bigger screens?...I don't get that complaint.
This guy is comparing a B9.5 S5 and a B9 RS5 at the same time to the new B10. He doesn’t even know he’s comparing two different generation and different cars lmao. The interior he’s comparing the B10 S5 to is the old interior 😭.
To be fair, the new A5 has the front headlights from a BMW and the taillights from a Mercedes... The style is very clean, especially from the side, but the interior is a big mess of screens. I do not like new digital interiors, I prefer more analog stuff. Remember when Audi integrated the temp display inside the climate control vents? That was super sleek! Why can't they replicate something like that, I mean it's ok to add some screens, but interiors don't have to be all about those.
As an owner of a F36 4 series (GranCoupe) the Hatchback design actually works really and super practical for a coupe looking 4 door car. However I don't agree that it can replace a traditional sedan
I am working as probramer in lab company. I sit in front of screen every day. Even I am no in work I still wanna play GW2 or other games but when I go to car I wanna fucking rest from it I dont want to go form one fucking gaming room to another with steering wheel.
No one is calling the new A5 “vulgar”. Audi have replaced 6 different models with 2, dropping 4 models which didn’t sell well, and I think an A5 sport back, plus an avant option is definitely the best they could have picked. I think this looks gorgeous.
My son has an ‘18 S5 Sportback and we both agree we like it much more than this new version. The previous generation is sporty and looks it. This new iteration is just a sedan with fewer hard angles which removes the aggressive stance that made it look so good. Hopefully this is just a one-year model and gets updated sooner than later.
I mean, we can complain about this Audi quite a lot, BUT at the same time - This is quite a moneymaker for the company. People who buy this car in this price range - They want all of the latest trends and blings, shiny huge ass screens and so on. So it is not a surprise, that Audi is not trying to do anything too crazy and over the top here. Also, look at the society nowadays - people start to care less about cars and more about getting from point A to point B, unfortunately. This leaves more second hand options for people like us, who prefere V8 engines and real buttons :)
Audi’s interiors were perfect at late 00’s and early 10’s. I don’t know if I’m a dinasour at 40 or car companies’ consumer surveys justify these kind of designs. But come on, that screen and cheap steering wheel…
In my opinion, Sportbacks are simply sedans that have a hatch instead of a traditional trunk. I also like the design of the new A5/S5. But I have to agree with the interior. I don't know what the big three German brands are doing nowadays but to me the interiors of Mercs, BMWs, and now Audis lack any sort of personality. I will say that the new Audi interior is probably the one I'm the least bothered by when compared to Mercedes and BMW's latest interiors, but I still don't think it's all that great. The last-gen Audi interiors felt more contemporary than this.
I 100% agree with you on the interior. I had the previous A5 and it was a master piece but I really hate the new one with touch based everything. Apparently people want this... but I think I will be getting a used car next after having bought 4 new German cars in the last 10 years. I really dislike everything new coming out the last 2-3 years and it doesn't have to do with the electrification. I'm very positive to electrification, driving a BMW 330e pre facelift right now.
I own a 2020 A5 premium s-line coupe and I 100% agree with your commentary, feels like they sold out big time with these 2025 changes. So happy with with my 2020, can't imagine getting rid of it, just the right blend of tech of car
Do people really hate on this car? I find it so beautiful, last 5-6 years none of the new audis had any appeal to me, A5 was a catastrophe when compared to the first gen A5 which still is to this day one of the most beautiful Audis ever made.
While I agree that there are too many big screens on the dash, at least they’re integrated into the dash as opposed to the older one that just looks stuck on
Bembli, I always agree with you. But not on this one. It looks dope. People want tech, people want big screens. Exterior also looks super modern and spaceship like. Again, I like what Audi has done here, I'm happy they not pulling the BMW design choices.
I am with you......... It makes me think ALL design wants us to leave cars and catch a cab or uber. When I drive - I AM DRIVING - I want tactile buttons for HVAC, and some media (like volume) and I really don't need screens except for SatNav. I dont' want an EV either, maybe hybrid, as I need range and short stops. So I simply will stop buying new cars. Easy. These companies brought it on themselves.

the new front and side are really nice i think. the back lights are EQS like old one much nicer. the screens inside are a deal breaker tho
12:48 there is literally no curvature on the top part of the Mercedes, its straight line on top, the curvature is on the bottom lol
Gonna have to disagree with this one. This car is gorgeous. And why are you comparing an RS5 to the current S5?
Agree! This is actually the first Audi sedan I would consider buying in a long time.
This guy is a very strange and hysterical person. His ranting about the new Audi A5 design is ridiculous and totally annoying!
His critizism really makes no sense at all for 99%. I don't understand this guy.
His annoyingly dumb ranting about the cool and modern looking curved screens.... Oh my god!
EVERY new car has big screens, and 99% of car customers nowadays are even critizicing new cars with only smaller screens.
Tesla started this huge screen thing, and every carmaker did the same thing. You can't stop progress.
There can be only one opinion: both versions of the new A5 look amazing! There's almost no flaw in all the many design details of these two car versions.
The A5 Avant design is PERFECT!

@@Porsche1969his content is basically just hating lmao. Hating on stuff gives you the most views.
@@Porsche1969 hahaha totally agree, car manufacturers need to give the consumers what they want. I mean apple had the iPhone mini and didn't sell. People wanted the bigger screens and apple geave the consumers the iPhone plus. So why assume car customers aren't demanding the bigger screens?...I don't get that complaint.
Headlight, taillights and the hofmeister kink aside, from the side it looks like a 4 series to me
It kinda looks like a 4 series gran coupe from the front because of the headlight shape
This guy is comparing a B9.5 S5 and a B9 RS5 at the same time to the new B10. He doesn’t even know he’s comparing two different generation and different cars lmao.
The interior he’s comparing the B10 S5 to is the old interior 😭.
To be fair, the new A5 has the front headlights from a BMW and the taillights from a Mercedes... The style is very clean, especially from the side, but the interior is a big mess of screens. I do not like new digital interiors, I prefer more analog stuff. Remember when Audi integrated the temp display inside the climate control vents? That was super sleek! Why can't they replicate something like that, I mean it's ok to add some screens, but interiors don't have to be all about those.
It litereally looks like a BMW i4
As an owner of a F36 4 series (GranCoupe) the Hatchback design actually works really and super practical for a coupe looking 4 door car. However I don't agree that it can replace a traditional sedan
I own a A4 2018 and I totally agree with everything you said. I didnt fall in love with this new one.
I am working as probramer in lab company. I sit in front of screen every day. Even I am no in work I still wanna play GW2 or other games but when I go to car I wanna fucking rest from it I dont want to go form one fucking gaming room to another with steering wheel.
Me: I want a 2025 A5 coupe
Mom: We have something like that at home
The A5 at home:
No one is calling the new A5 “vulgar”. Audi have replaced 6 different models with 2, dropping 4 models which didn’t sell well, and I think an A5 sport back, plus an avant option is definitely the best they could have picked. I think this looks gorgeous.
I do kinda like it. But the bar is pretty low as long I don't have to look at split headlights!
I actually kinda like it
Same my first thoughts from: the thumbnail
Naah looks cheaper and more soft

My son has an ‘18 S5 Sportback and we both agree we like it much more than this new version. The previous generation is sporty and looks it. This new iteration is just a sedan with fewer hard angles which removes the aggressive stance that made it look so good. Hopefully this is just a one-year model and gets updated sooner than later.
Why the heck does the passenger need a screen?? My wife just sits in her phone. Screen not needed there at all
„Chamfer“ mentioned in this video: 2 times
Nomenclature means naming.
A1 A3 A4....
I believe Audi nomenclature will go like this: even numbers EV and odd numbers ICE
I love the look of the new A5, looks beautiful. But too much screens inside sticking up....
I mean, we can complain about this Audi quite a lot, BUT at the same time - This is quite a moneymaker for the company. People who buy this car in this price range - They want all of the latest trends and blings, shiny huge ass screens and so on. So it is not a surprise, that Audi is not trying to do anything too crazy and over the top here. Also, look at the society nowadays - people start to care less about cars and more about getting from point A to point B, unfortunately. This leaves more second hand options for people like us, who prefere V8 engines and real buttons :)
Audi’s interiors were perfect at late 00’s and early 10’s. I don’t know if I’m a dinasour at 40 or car companies’ consumer surveys justify these kind of designs. But come on, that screen and cheap steering wheel…
The new one just looks like a ford fusion
I really like the design, looks mean.
2035 A5 concept just released. No more windshield, just another screen that shows whats in front of you.
In my opinion, Sportbacks are simply sedans that have a hatch instead of a traditional trunk. I also like the design of the new A5/S5. But I have to agree with the interior. I don't know what the big three German brands are doing nowadays but to me the interiors of Mercs, BMWs, and now Audis lack any sort of personality. I will say that the new Audi interior is probably the one I'm the least bothered by when compared to Mercedes and BMW's latest interiors, but I still don't think it's all that great. The last-gen Audi interiors felt more contemporary than this.
I bought the 2014 Facelift of the first generation and it feels to me like it’s design wise the best
15:45 well said.
Hope all car manufacturers will tune back on the big screens for their future models.
I like It, better design than bmw and merc
BMW and Merc are still working on the new 3 and C-Class.
The standard 3 series is a good looking car. The C-Class was forgettable as it didn't look much different to the other MB sedans.
@@richardlabeja I agree i like the current 3 series
That's not a lot these days 😂.
I 100% agree with you on the interior. I had the previous A5 and it was a master piece but I really hate the new one with touch based everything. Apparently people want this... but I think I will be getting a used car next after having bought 4 new German cars in the last 10 years. I really dislike everything new coming out the last 2-3 years and it doesn't have to do with the electrification. I'm very positive to electrification, driving a BMW 330e pre facelift right now.
audi basically announced their design language for the next 6 years and looks like this is what we are gonna get. not happy where are the angles
The new A5 design is much better than the old!
I own a 2020 A5 premium s-line coupe and I 100% agree with your commentary, feels like they sold out big time with these 2025 changes. So happy with with my 2020, can't imagine getting rid of it, just the right blend of tech of car
Do people really hate on this car? I find it so beautiful, last 5-6 years none of the new audis had any appeal to me, A5 was a catastrophe when compared to the first gen A5 which still is to this day one of the most beautiful Audis ever made.
Sad that they killed the two door A5, S5, RS5 :/
You your so spot-on. Thank you
I like it. I’m only going to be buying the RS model though.
While I agree that there are too many big screens on the dash, at least they’re integrated into the dash as opposed to the older one that just looks stuck on
I agree. Also for the driver it's the similar to bmws
The new design is a tragedy 😢
It looks like the last gen A5 and the q8 e-tron had a baby 😂😂
I think it looks great. Just disappointed we don't get the avant stateside. I hope the change that. Maybe they'll bring an RS5 estate.
I have a 2018 manual A4 S-Line. It has analog dials and the interior is perfect. Plus the manual is fun to drive.
The Avant looks hella fine.. you can't deny that audi has the best avants. but maybe I am biased because I am european and I love avants :))
I have a B9.5 rs5 sportback,never going to sell it after seeing this thing
Bembli, I always agree with you. But not on this one. It looks dope. People want tech, people want big screens. Exterior also looks super modern and spaceship like. Again, I like what Audi has done here, I'm happy they not pulling the BMW design choices.
I am with you......... It makes me think ALL design wants us to leave cars and catch a cab or uber.
When I drive - I AM DRIVING - I want tactile buttons for HVAC, and some media (like volume) and I really don't need screens except for SatNav.
I dont' want an EV either, maybe hybrid, as I need range and short stops.
So I simply will stop buying new cars. Easy. These companies brought it on themselves.
I think its a beautiful design and i think it looks better than the old one
