Price: from 2,530,000 rubles.

The Audi coupe fell in love with the public quite strongly, due to the development of technology and the need to compete, it was decided to release new version. The second generation of the regular 2018-2019 Audi A5 and S5 was presented to the public in Ingolstadt, later the French residents also saw the model.

As in the previous generation, there is a Sportback version here, which is more comfortable, as it has an extended wheelbase and 5 doors instead of 3 for the coupe. The model went on sale with a convertible version. Now absolutely all the information about the new product is known and now it can be bought from official dealers. Therefore, we will tell you the most detailed information about the new model.

Exterior

One of the coupe's greatest strengths is its design. The manufacturer has tried hard to bring the Audi A5 to a common style, while making it as aggressive as possible. Aggression in a compartment is an important component, since buyers are most often young people, and such a moment is important for them. It’s worth noting right away that the main competitor, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe, also looks great, but it’s up to you to decide whether it’s better or worse.

Since the car is for the most part close to, their exterior is similar, but now there is no absolute similarity, unlike its predecessor. The muzzle is equipped with the main element of aggression in the form of slightly different LED aggressive optics. The long hood also differs in shape, at least in its reliefs. The front bumper is almost identical to the sedan, but the air intakes differ in shape, they are at least larger.

The Audi A5 stands out from the side with short overhangs, the focus is on the silhouette of the body. Maintaining a sporty style is provided by massive arch extensions, stampings at the top and bottom, as well as a sporty mounted rear-view mirror. There are also decorative chrome elements in the form of gills. The basic version will get 17 alloy wheels that already look good, but you can increase them to the 19th diameter.

The stern most closely resembles its counterpart in the sedan. Here, approximately similar narrow optics and approximately identical shape of the entire rear. Due to modern trends in improving aerodynamics, a frequently encountered spoiler is installed here, which is formed by the shape of the trunk lid, its recesses, etc. The bumper is not small, it has inconspicuous stamping lines, a chrome trim and reflectors. The number of exhaust pipes also play a role in the design, the base model has 2 pipes on the left, the more powerful versions will get a 4-barrel exhaust.

There are many unusual design solutions, which perfectly distinguishes the car from competitors. The target audience often likes to stand out, so a variety of unique looks on this car will work well to attract buyers.

Such a full-fledged appearance update certainly led to an increase in overall dimensions:

• length - 4673 mm;
• width - 1846 mm;
• height - 1371 mm;
• wheelbase - 2764 mm;
• clearance - 120 mm.

The color scheme of the Audi A5 is not very diverse, in total two colors are offered, black and white, but if you want a metallic color, then there are already much more shades:

• white;
• green;
• burgundy;
• brown;
• golden silver;
• dark grey;
• grey;
• blue;
• red;
• black.

It should be noted in advance that the metallic color costs 62 thousand rubles.

Salon

The interior decoration has also undergone changes, due to the increase in dimensions, it was possible to squeeze out more free space inside. Some consider this car the most comfortable in its class. As in its predecessor, good leather, high-quality plastic and aluminum inserts are used here.

The seats of the Audi A5 2018-2019 have changed - excellent soft chairs with little lateral support, electrically adjustable. Brown leather is used as a skin, but as you understand the color of the material can be chosen. Several color options are offered:

• white;
• brown;
• cream;
• black;
• dark grey.

Only fabric is used in stock, more than 120,000 rubles will have to be paid extra for leather. There is also a combined leather and Alcantara upholstery, worth 91,000 rubles.

The rear sofa is designed for two people, the material is the same, there is a folding armrest with various amenities. In general, there is enough space, but the rear passengers will already feel not very good, there is not too much space for them.

The entire interior is made in a mixed style of sportiness and rigor. Fellow A4 resembles the center console, the main role in this is played by air deflectors Audi A5. The large 7-inch center console display is more than informative, and there is also navigation. Unfortunately, the critics' struggle with this style of display installation was unsuccessful. For an additional fee of almost 200 thousand, this display will be larger - 8.3 inches, the same is installed on and. Multimedia is certainly equipped with a system for connecting with iOS and Android mobile devices.

Below is the control unit for the climate system and various vehicle safety functions. Existing A5 buyers claim that the manufacturer did the right thing by introducing both mechanical and touch buttons, because a fully touch system is still inconvenient.

The tunnel was equipped with a huge number of different organs, the first is glass holders, their plus is that you can cool and heat what is in the glass. Behind them is a thin washer and several buttons designed to control the multimedia system. The size of the gearbox selector also remained virtually unchanged, at least in size. The selector is sheathed in leather, it has a small display showing the selected mode. There is also an electronic handbrake key and there is also a separate washer responsible for the volume of music and switching tracks.

As for the music of the Audi A5, you can talk separately. Regularly, the model received 8 good speakers, which already sounds good, for 20,000 rubles there will be 2 more speakers and a subwoofer. The best sound can be obtained by paying 80,000 rubles, but there will already be 19 speakers with 3D sound, with a total power of 755 watts.

Driver's seat, now we got to it. The driver's control in the form of a steering wheel is three-spoke, it is trimmed with perforated leather. Also steering column equipped with a number of buttons to control various systems and shift paddles, for true connoisseurs of sports driving. The multimedia system control keys and the steering wheel heating function are present, you will have to pay 23,800 rubles for it.

The dashboard of the Audi A5 is not a full display. The tidy received two large dial gauges for the speedometer and tachometer, along the edges there are fuel level and oil pressure sensors. After paying a little more money, a 7-inch display will appear in the middle of the tidy, displaying navigation data, vehicle status and a lot of other useful things. There is also a projection on the windshield, worth the extra money.

The interior design looks chic and, as you already understood, there is a lot of various useful equipment in it, but not everyone is in the basic version. A huge number of options are offered and this is a plus, on the one hand, it upsets that something is not in the database, on the other hand, you yourself choose what you need and do not overpay for functions that are useless to you.

Specifications Audi A5

Type	Volume	Power	Torque	Overclocking	Max Speed	Number of cylinders
Petrol	2.0 l	190 HP	320 H*m	7.5 sec.	239 km/h	4
Petrol	2.0 l	249 HP	370 H*m	5.8 sec.	250 km/h	4
Diesel	2.0 l	190 HP	400 H*m	7.2 sec.	250 km/h	4

If for ordinary cars the issue of engines and gearboxes is not particularly important, as long as he drives, does not spend a lot and lives for a long time, then here the situation is different. The car is positioned as a sports car, and the target audience also likes to drive, so the manufacturer tried to make the power plants quite productive.

Now Russian buyers are offered only three engines, two of which are gasoline TFSI. The entire line is more extensive, in the future more powerful versions will be installed on Russian models.

1. The basic installation is gasoline, turbocharged is installed here and it has 190 forces with 320 units of torque. The base unit, and already 7.5 seconds to a hundred - is quite good. Unfortunately, its exact consumption is unknown; in the combined cycle, it consumes 5.4 liters of gasoline. This unit is only available in the A5 Sportback version.
2. The turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol variant produces 249 horsepower and 370 H*m of torque. This setting allows you to dial the first hundred in 5.8 seconds, which is very fast for an originally civilian model. The engine with direct fuel injection, which it consumes really little, it needs a little more than 7 liters in the city, it takes less than 5 liters on the highway.
3. The TDI diesel plant also received a volume of 2 liters and a turbine. It has less power - 190 horses and 400 units of torque. The Audi A5 Coupe will accelerate in 7 seconds with a top speed of 235 km/h. This engine is great for economical driving, because it consumes about 5 liters of diesel fuel, it will go even less along the highway.

The 3-liter gasoline engine, not yet sold in Russia, is not the most powerful, but it is already a turbocharged V6. It has 218 forces and 400 units of torque, allowing you to accelerate to hundreds in 6 seconds. This engine, although not the fastest (although the difference is not great), is more economical than the others, it consumes about the same as a diesel engine.

Gearbox and suspension

Audi A5 in stock all-wheel drive, this is a system known to many, but with some innovations. The drive received the ultra prefix due to the introduction of the Magna electronic clutch in place of the already outdated Torsen differential. To put it simply, now there is no permanent all-wheel drive, which significantly increases consumption, the drive now connects the rear wheels when scrolling occurs.

The car is completely independent scheme with 5 levers front and rear. This scheme is already quite comfortable and manageable, but it can be improved by paying more money, thereby obtaining adaptive shock absorbers.

As a pair for motors, a 7-speed S-Tronic robotic gearbox is offered, a top-end engine that is not sold with us is equipped with an 8-speed ZF, which is much more interesting. Also, mechanics are available in some countries, but most of our customers will not appreciate this, so we do not sell mechanics.

Safety Audi A5 2018-2019

Now manufacturers care about the safety of their cars, as this is not only required by law various countries, but buyers themselves pay attention to this when buying. It cannot be said that the model is better than its competitors in this regard, it is on the same level with them.

There are many different systems that control the behavior of the car. There is a system that controls the spontaneous movement of cars, you can independently set the speed limit, parking assistants. There are also functions for monitoring blind spots, collision avoidance, and a dynamic control system. Various security systems you need can be purchased separately as an option, or can be purchased in packages.

Engineers worked together with designers, which made it possible to achieve not only a drag coefficient of 0.25, but also to make the body of the A5 quite rigid. Thus, in an accident, the chance of injury is reduced, and airbags help to reduce it even more.

Price

The cost of the model is quite acceptable compared to competitors, for the cheapest model you will have to pay 2,530,000 rubles. For that kind of money, you get a 5-door version with the following basic equipment:

• 6 airbags;
• climate control;
• fabric upholstery;
• light and rain sensor;
• multimedia 7 inches;
• heated seats;
• xenon optics with auto-correction;
• bluetooth;
• USB, etc.

The basic version of the Audi A5 is rather weak in terms of equipment, this type of body with minimal equipment can cost a maximum of 2,770,000 rubles. A coupe costs at least 2,770,000, a convertible is not for sale in our country. The maximum cost for purchasing everything that the manufacturer offers will be over 4 million rubles.

What can be purchased additionally:

• LED optics Audi Matrix;
• blind spot monitoring system;
• parking assistance;
• Rear View Camera;
• keyless access to the salon;
• power seats;
• lane control system;
• memory for seat adjustments;
• automatic parking;
• navigation;
• multimedia by 8.3 inches;
• seat ventilation;
• rear row heating;
• steering wheel heating;
• adaptive shock absorbers;
• leather upholstery;
• 19 discs;
• Cruise control.

As you understand, you can not buy everything, but choose only the most necessary, thus the amount will not be 4, but 3 million rubles. Accordingly, you will receive the car you need without the features for which you did not have to overpay. We did not name the cost of each option, since it is likely that it will change due to the fact that the car is new.

As a conclusion, it should be said that the new generation is more than competitively capable. From the predecessor there are many differences for the better, it is clear that the manufacturer is developing. Should I buy this car? See for yourself, it differs little from other Audi cars, mainly design and interior, so if you like a coupe and it doesn’t bother you with its impracticality, then you can safely take it. If you like the 2018-2019 Audi A5 but don't want an impractical coupe, then try looking at other models from the brand.

5A-F/FE/FHE Engine Faults and Repairs

The Toyota 5A engine is an analogue of the 4A engine, in which the cylinder diameter is reduced from 81 mm to 78.7 mm, thus obtaining a volume of 1500 cc. Otherwise, we have the same 4A-F / FE / FHE, with all its pluses and minuses. An ordinary civilian motor, sports versions of GE / GZE based on the 5A were not developed.

Toyota 5A engine modifications

1. 5A-F - carbureted version, similar to 4A-F with reduced volume. Compression ratio 9.8, power 85 hp The engine was in production from 1987 to 1990.
2 . 5A-FE - analogue of 4A-FE, is a 5A-F with electronic fuel injection, compression ratio 9.6, power 105 hp. The production of the engine was started in 1987, finished in 2006, after which the production was transferred to FAW and is currently equipped with Chinese cars.
3. 5A-FHE - version with a modified cylinder head, other camshafts, a slightly modified intake, a different exhaust manifold, power increased to 120 hp. In production was from 19891 to 1999 and was put on cars for the domestic Japanese market.

Malfunctions and their causes

The design of the motor repeats the 4A motor one to one, all those malfunctions that are relevant for 4A also apply to 5A: problems with the distributor, with the lambda probe, with the engine temperature sensor, after which the engine does not start, the speed floats due to a dirty damper, idle sensor move and so on. There are no hydraulic compensators for 5A, so every 100 thousand we carry out the procedure for adjusting the valves, after the same run we also change the timing belt. In general, everything is standard for the A series, see the full list of engine diseases.

Toyota 5A-F/FE/FHE engine tuning

Chip tuning. Atmo. Turbo

Exactly as with the atmospheric version, the motor will not show anything supernatural. The only thing that makes sense is to bore the cylinders to a diameter of 81 mm, for a 4A-FE piston, thus we get a working volume of 1.6 liters and, in fact, a 4A-FE engine, but there is a risk of running into casting defects. You can put a straight-through exhaust with a 4-2-1 spider, but this will not do anything serious.

Turbine on 5A-FE

Initially, this motor was developed for the most relaxed movement, no sport was provided, therefore, any serious tuning will entail the replacement of all regular junk, with tuning and for the turbine, this applies very opportunely. The most reasonable option possible is to order a kit for a 4A-FE on a small turbine and install it on a standard piston one, having previously installed 360cc nozzles, a Walbro 255 pump and a direct-flow outlet on the 51st pipe, we set it up on Abit. It will give it up to 140-150 hp, the resource will be greatly reduced. If you want a resource, change the crankshaft, shpg, cut the cylinder head ... or swap 4A-GE)).

In March 2007, at the Geneva Motor Show, the world premiere of Audi's first mid-size coupe took place, which was named the Audi A5. According to the chief designer of the concern, Walter de Silva, the Audi A5 is the most beautiful car he has ever created. The novelty was based on the Nuvolari concept car. The car is built on a new modular platform that will then be used to create the next generation of the Audi A4 and A6, and it is larger than the current A4 sedan in size.

The design is designed in the same style as other production models of the brand. The German craftsmen managed to keep the cosmic appearance and futuristic design. The exterior of this sports coupe has a sophisticated charm: flowing lines, elongated silhouette, sporty touches. A long wheelbase, short overhangs, large wheels, alternating concave and convex surfaces with dynamic lines give the Audi A5 the shape of a Grand Tourismo. The coupe received the usual rectangular headlights, a "proprietary" elongated radiator grille and a slightly unusual plastic side panels. The body is made mainly of aluminium. The lighting system during daylight hours, consisting of a strip of eight LEDs at the bottom of the headlights, looks very attractive.

Salon Audi A5 has sufficient capacity for four passengers, given the length of the body of 4.70 meters. The volume of the luggage compartment is 455 liters. The instrument panel is combined into one unit with the center console, which makes the control convenient and helps the driver to be less distracted from the road. The interior embodies ergonomics, high functionality and exceptional quality of finishing materials.

The most important thing in this car is the line of engines. The Audi A5 is equipped with a 3.2-liter FSI with 265 hp. With six cylinders under the hood and a torque of 330 Nm, the all-wheel drive A5 3.2 will reach “hundreds” already after 6.1 seconds after the start. Top speed is electronically limited to the traditional 250 km/h. By the way, the manufacturer claims that the average consumption of the A5 with such an engine and multitronic CVT will be only 8.9 liters.

Those who want to seriously save on fuel should look at diesel modifications. Three-liter engine with a capacity of 240 horsepower. Moreover, this version automatically becomes the fastest modification of the Audi A5: acceleration to 100 km / h takes only 5.9 seconds. Plus an average fuel consumption of 7.2 liters. You can also choose a less powerful (190 hp) 2.7-liter turbodiesel. With it, the Audi A5 is also available in front-wheel drive. Dynamics at an acceptable level: 7.6 seconds to "hundreds" and a top speed of 232 km / h.

The base for each version of the Audi A5 will be a six-speed manual transmission. The continuously variable variator Audi Multitronic CVT will be available only for the 3.2-liter petrol engine and the 2.7-liter turbodiesel. And by switching multitronic to manual mode, the driver will be able to choose one of the eight fixed gearshift steps.

The equipment of the Audi A5 fully corresponds to the status of a stylish and prestigious coupe. The basic equipment of the A5 has an MMI information and control system, an audio system with its own display and many other functions. Well, for an additional fee, you can equip this German coupe with a three-zone air conditioning system (2 zones for front passengers and one for the rear), a keyless door and trunk lid opening system, bi-xenon headlights, a rear-view camera, and a premium audio system, developed by the famous company Bang & Olufsen: 14 speakers, active noise reduction and 500 W output power will satisfy even music lovers.

Basic modifications of the coupe are offered only with front-wheel drive, and buyers can order a quattro all-wheel drive transmission as an option.

The model revives the era of classic coupes. Audi A5 is a harmonious combination of dynamics with a great deal of style, elegance and comfort.

The debut of the Audi A5 convertible took place at the Detroit Motor Show in December 2008. The model replaced the A4 convertible. The release of the model began in March 2009. The length of the four-seater is 4.63 m, the width is 1.85 m, and the height is only 1.38 m. The stretched hood, long wheelbase, clean lines and muscular forms of the shoulder line create a sporty silhouette. The big wheels complete the picture, which are perfectly combined with the front and rear parts of the body. To increase the rigidity, heavy-duty steels were used, which are processed by hot forming.

The soft folding top consists of three layers. In addition, a soft mat is laid inside. This is quite enough to provide acceptable acoustic comfort. For those who need silence, as in an executive class sedan, there is an additional option. Instead of a mat, a 15 mm foam pad is used between the fabric layers. The classic fabric roof is hydraulically folded in 17 seconds and raised in 15 seconds at speeds up to 50 km/h.

The soft top folds compactly in three layers and is stored under a securely closing lid. The compartment where the roof is removed is made of durable textile and decorated with an aluminum lining. Of the 380 liters of total trunk volume, the foldable design takes up only 60 liters. With the rear seats folded down, the trunk volume increases to 750 liters. If the driver decides to fold the top down and the trunk is full, the horn will sound.

The leather seat cover repels heat radiation, so the surface of the seats can keep the temperature in the sun up to 20 degrees cooler than the temperature of the surrounding objects. Plus, the car has large area glazing, which, of course, is the main guarantee of excellent visibility.

The range of engines consists of four petrol and two diesel engines. Diesel versions were equipped with 2.7 and 3-liter V6 engines with a capacity of 190 and 240 hp. respectively. The weakest gasoline version received a 1.8-liter engine with 160 hp. Following are two two-liter turbo engines with a capacity of 180 and 211 hp. With. and a 3.2-liter "six" with a margin of 265 liters. With. There are three transmissions to choose from: a 6-speed manual, a multitronic CVT and a new seven-speed “robot” (dual clutch) S-tronic.

The drive can be either front or full. The Quattro delivers 60% of the torque back in normal driving mode, but when one of the wheels slips, it immediately increases traction on the other axle. At the same time, up to 85% of the torque can be transferred to the rear wheels, and up to 65% to the front wheels.

On the center console of the convertible there are buttons that allow you to select a convenient driving mode: comfortable, dynamic or automatic. You press - and the settings of the engine, gearbox, steering are adjusted accordingly. And if the car is equipped with the MMI Navigation plus system, then in addition you have at your disposal an individual mode in which the settings are set according to the personal tastes of the driver.

The model is assembled at a factory in Neckarsulm (Germany), along with a coupe version. The Audi A5 Cabriolet is a direct competitor to the BMW 3-Series Convertible, Infiniti G37 Convertible and Lexus IS 250C.

In 2009, the Audi A5 Sportback 5-door hatchback was presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The wheelbase is the same as the Audi A4 sedan (2810 mm) and the track is the same as the Audi A5 coupe (1590 mm front and 1575 mm rear). The car has an impressive luggage compartment, the volume of which is 480 liters. in the standard version, and with the rear seats folded down, it reaches 980.

The front part and the curving window sill line went to the hatchback from the A5 coupe. The traditional design of the radiator grille, the recognizable silhouette of the headlights, the stampings on the body: all this at first glance at the Audi A5 Sportback makes it clear that this model does not intend to deviate from the corporate style.

The salon very successfully combines simplicity, elegance and functionality. The branded three-spoke steering wheel is very comfortable and not overloaded with buttons: only a couple of the most necessary and nothing more. The rest of the controls are decorated in the same laconic and calm style. The dashboard is informative and highlighted in a pleasant white color, against which stylish scarlet arrows are perfectly visible. Excellent noise isolation and good air filters help to maintain a pleasant atmosphere in the cabin.

The suspension has been retuned for an even more comfortable ride. In principle, the suspension scheme has not undergone fundamental changes, but its characteristics have been slightly shifted towards sports driving. The extended base and the impressive weight of the car provide excellent handling. With the help of the MMI system, the driver can adjust the characteristics of the adaptive suspension, engine, steering and rear differential as desired. You can choose one of the available modes (Auto, Comfort, Dynamic) or program your own (Individual).

The Audi A5 Sportback has the same engines as the A5 Coupé. Petrol two-liter 2.0 TFSI (180 and 211 hp), "six" 3.2 FSI (265 hp) and budget 1.8 (160 hp). In Europe, three turbodiesels (2.0, V6 2.7 and V6 3.0) with power (170-240 hp) are available. The choice of gearboxes includes the "robot" S-tronic, six-speed "mechanics" and stepless variator.

The safety of the model is provided by the ESP system, which combines ABS, ASR, EBV and EDS and 6 airbags. In the basic configuration, the car boasts fog lights, climate control, central locking with remote control, a CD / MP3 audio system and 10 speakers, mirrors with servo and heating.

The restyled version of the model debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2011. The model received an updated, more stylish and attractive appearance. From the previous version, the updated A5 Sportback is distinguished by a different form of head optics, a hexagonal instead of a quadrangular grille and taillights, which use more LEDs than before. As before, motorists are offered a choice of three body types: coupe, convertible and sportback. The dimensions of the car remained unchanged. The sportback has the largest dimensions: the length of the car reaches 4712 millimeters, the width is 1854 millimeters, the height is 1391 millimeters. Ground clearance is 120 millimeters. The range of body colors consists of 16 colors, and the color options for the soft top of the convertible are four.

The interior design of the updated Audi A5 coupe also received many changes and improvements: the quality of finishing materials has been improved, the ergonomics of the controls have been improved. The car has been updated steering wheel, new buttons on the center console, white backlighting of all displays and a modified robotic gearshift lever. Also available are new color solutions finishes.

During the restyling, the line of power units of the model was improved. Motors have become not only more powerful, but also more economical. The technical specifications of the Audi A5 of the most charged modification include a turbocharged V6 gasoline engine with direct injection of 3.0 liters with a capacity of 272 horsepower, a seven-speed S tronic robotic gearbox and a quattro all-wheel drive system. From standstill to 100 kilometers per hour, such a car accelerates in 6 seconds. The maximum speed is 250 kilometers per hour.

Both petrol and diesel versions of the Audi A5 are available. Base - upgraded four-cylinder 1.8 TFSI. The direct injection unit received improved intake and exhaust phase shifters, a new turbocharger and an exhaust manifold integrated into the block. The return of the "four" rose from 160 forces and 250 N m to 170 and 320, respectively. As a pair of gearboxes to the engine, customers will be offered a six-speed “mechanics” or a Multitronic V-belt variator.

The gasoline cohort continues with a two-liter TFSI supercharged “heart”, which produces the previous 211 “horses” (350 Nm) and which can be paired with a manual gearbox, continuously variable Multitronic or preselective robotic S tronic with seven ranges.

The list of diesel units begins with an optimized two-liter engine of the TDI family, which, after the changes made (optimized injection system and turbocharging), was awarded 177 hp. and 380 N m against the previous 170 and 350, respectively. As assistants to the "four" they appointed a "mechanic" or a variator. Next comes the six-cylinder 3.0 TDI with two recoil options. The first one is 204 forces and 400 N m (manual box, CVT or S tronic are put in), the second is 245 “horses” and 500 N m (only “robot”).

Audi A5 has a whole range of active and passive safety features. The standard equipment of the model includes bifunctional xenon headlights with LEDs, a sports steering wheel, heated front seats, climate control, a driver information system with a monochrome display, an audio system with a color display and a hard drive. The novelty also received a new electromechanical power steering.

In the list of options you can find the multimedia complex MMI plus with more convenient control, a system for keeping the car within its lane and active cruise control that can automatically stop the car in the event of a frontal collision at speeds up to 30 km / h.

The changes also affected the transmission. So, if earlier the all-wheel drive transmission included a Torsen center differential, then after the upgrade, the A5 family received a more compact cylindrical assembly, blocked by a multi-plate clutch. However, the distribution of thrust along the axes has not changed: under normal conditions, the ratio is 40 to 60% in favor of the rear, but the mechanism is able to transfer up to 70% to the “muzzle” and up to 85% to the stern. Versions with 2.0 TFSI and 2.0 TDI engines (both optional), 3.0 TFSI and 3.0 TDI (option for 204-horsepower version) are equipped with quattro permanent all-wheel drive.

The 2012 model year cars have new bushings and shock absorbers that should make the A5 more comfortable, as well as a retuned electromechanical power steering, which, in turn, promises buyers more precise reactions and increased drive information.

The automotive giant Toyota in 1987 began work on the release of a new line of power units installed on passenger cars. She received the marking "5A". In this article, we will analyze the engine 5AF.E.. During the entire period of production, which amounted to 12 years, the power plant was produced in three types of modification.

They received the following names:

• first generation - 5A-F;
• second generation - 5A-FE;
• third generation - 5A-FHE.

First generation

The power unit with the index 5A-F is distinguished by the presence of a gas distribution mechanism, the design of which provides for the installation of 4 valves per 1 cylinder according to the DOHC scheme. In other words, the engine has two camshafts that move their own series of valves.

This system allows one camshaft to move the intake valves and the other to move the exhaust. The valves are driven by tappets. Thanks to the DOHC system, Toyota 5A engines have high performance power.

Generation two

The 5A-FE engine is an improved version of the 5A-FE. A large modification was touched by the system responsible for the injection of the fuel mixture. The end result showed that an electronic fuel injection system was installed in the engine, called EFI - Electronic Fuel Injection.

Due to the high quality of the design, this motor is considered very successful. It is also well refurbished. Finding spare parts for this power plant is not a problem. The release of cars of the Japanese-Chinese joint venture Toyota and Tianjin FAW Xiali is made with these power plants under the hood to this day. They are put on small cars such as Vela and Weizhi.

How is the motor in Russia?

Most domestic owners of Toyota vehicles, under the hood of which there is an engine modification called 5A-FE, leave positive ratings performance data 5A-FE. They claim that the average engine life is 300 thousand km. Further operation of the car is accompanied by an increase in the consumption of oily fluid. The valve stem seals should be replaced when the mileage is 200,000 km. Subsequent such operations must be carried out at intervals of 100,000 km.

Many owners of Toyota, whose power plant is called 5A-FE, have encountered a problem that is felt in traction dips when driving at a medium speed of the crankshaft. This occurs when using low-quality Russian fuel, or there are problems in the power and ignition systems.

Cons of the motor

The process of operating 5A-FE power plants is not without drawbacks

1. Beds mounted on camshafts are prone to increased wear.
2. Fixed type of piston pins.
3. Difficulties in adjusting the intake valve clearances.

Despite this, the overhaul of this motor is rarely performed.

If it is necessary to replace the engine installation, it is quite easy to purchase a 5A-FE contract engine. Most of them are in good condition and the price is reasonable.

It is worth noting that Japanese contract engines were not operated on the territory Russian Federation. Japanese manufacturers are leaders in terms of the speed with which vehicle lineups are updated. This allows companies that dismantle spare parts to carry out the purchase of vehicles. In which engines with a fair margin of operation are installed.

Audi A5 is the most spectacular model in the line of the German brand. It almost does not feel the coldness that is characteristic of other members of the family. There is no “pursed lips” or pomposity in this car. And then there's the sensual bonnet and graceful sidewalls with the striking double-wave stamping that's featured on the next-generation car.

The desire to make their cars more emotional was announced by Audi management back in 2007, when the first Audi A5 coupe came out. The imposing Italian Walter de Silva was responsible for the style at that time. But the previous A5 failed to achieve the intended success. Even after the “visit to the beautician” in 2011. Probably, de Silva felt like a chef who discovered at the end of a dinner party that all the dishes he had prepared remained untouched, and quit.

BY SPECIAL MEASURES

Today, when the world's auto industry is in a riot of forms, Audi's moderation seems to be a kind of gold standard. So is it worth parting with it? In fact, the A5 coupe and its energetic S5 modification are just a flirtatious nod to the era. A premium brand is simply obliged to have in its assortment a certain model that cannot be approached with consumer standards - there will be more suitable candidates for them. Fans of sports cars are addressed to TT, VIPs - A8. And of course, it is unlikely that Audi expects that the new coupe will be found on the streets of Russian cities more often than the A4 sedan or Q5 crossover.

Why expect practicality if the compartment doors are wider than usual? This seems to make it easier to access the rear row of seats. But because of the geometry of the doors, getting into or out of such a car in a tight parking lot is more difficult. It is necessary to literally squeeze into a narrow gap so as not to damage paintwork neighboring car.

The Audi A5, like the S5, should cause continuous delight and languid sighs. Why? The A5 Coupé has the most sensual contours among the models of the German brand. By the way, on the sketches of the lead designer of the A5 / S5 project, Jacob Herzel, the car looks even more impressive, but in general, the idea was implemented almost verbatim. The coupe is offered in 15 colors whose names caress the ear like fashion brands: Brilliant Black, Cuvee Silver, Monsoon Grey, Moonlight Blue, Tango Red ... It's just a pity that the color of the car does not change as often as the color of the dress. Although… nothing is impossible.

Salon impresses with the quality of finishing materials and their fit. Superb leather is paired with Alcantara inserts, soft pebbled plastics and grained wood panels. Here Audi is traditionally on top. You want to touch all the elements of the A5 / S5 interior again and again. Pleasant tactile sensations, a unique aroma (an entire department is involved in the company), special ambient LED lighting ... By the way, the buyer is offered a choice of 30 interior lighting options!

FAREWELL TORSEN!

The Audi A5 is supplied to the Russian market with four-cylinder engines: a two-liter TDI diesel engine (190 hp) and a 2.0 TFSI petrol (249 hp). The Audi S5 coupe is equipped with a 3-liter V6 3.0 TFSI, developing 354 “horses” (21 horsepower more than its predecessor).

However, the biggest news is that Audi is parting ways with its famous permanent four-wheel drive with a limited slip differential! The quattro ultra system comes to replace. From now on, the electronics completely open the gearbox shank and propeller shaft, as well as the right rear axle shaft, turning the car into a front-wheel drive. As a result, transmission losses are reduced and fuel is saved.

The Audi A5 coupe is built on the same single MLB Evo platform as the A4 sedans. The graphics of the 12.3-inch Audi virtual cockpit are amazing. The picture quality is not worse than that of analog devices. The central 8.3-inch color display in a sleek, 13mm thick body is reminiscent of a tablet. But keep in mind that the display does not hide in the dashboard after the ignition is turned off, and therefore can attract the attention of robbers. Audi still does not recognize touchscreens - secondary functions are controlled by an Audi MMI cylindrical toggle switch and hot keys located around it. In addition, the core of the toggle switch is a trackpad for graphical input of commands. Interestingly, the 4G Wi-Fi hotspot supports eight gadgets. But it is not easy to check this: there are only four seats in the A5.

COMPREHENSIVE HELP

Prices for the A5 coupe with a diesel engine start at 2,590,000 (Comfort equipment), and for the A5 gasoline - from 2,730,000 rubles. The car is only available in all-wheel drive versions with automatic transmissions. Basic equipment is generous: bi-xenon headlights, climate control, MMI radio plus multimedia system with 7-inch display and Bluetooth, heated front seats, dimming interior rear-view mirror, rain sensor, parking sensors and a full range of security systems, including an exit assistant from the parking lot in reverse. True, such an impressive range of electronic assistants is explained by the inability to exclude certain positions from the onboard FlexRay data exchange protocol.

In the expensive configuration, the Audi A5 and S5 are equipped with a high-end Bang & Olufsen music system: 19 speakers with a total power of 755 watts are responsible for surround sound in the cabin. For a surcharge, you can get matrix LED headlights, each of which uses 18 LEDs for high beams. The control electronics provides 64 levels of brightness and several million combinations of light beam distribution (so as not to blind drivers of oncoming and passing cars).

In total, there are three performance lines: Comfort line, Design line and Sport line. For example, the Design line offers a panoramic roof and seats upholstered in Milano leather. And the buyer of the Sport line will receive sports seats, decorative inserts made of aluminum and stainless steel in the cabin, special bumpers and the S line emblem on the front fenders. A G
