Product Overview
Audi A5 (chassis code 8T3) facelift is a mid-size coupe in production from 2011 to 2016. It was available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 1.8 to 3.0 liters.
Compared to the pre-facelift A5, the facelifted Mk1 A5 received only marginal update centered around the front and rear fasciae. The same considerations are carried over, and Audi did not introduce updates to the engines.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Audi A5 Coupe comes with multi-link suspensions at all four corners.
