Audi Australia has taken the petrol A5 Sedan and Avant off its standard range, and the official website now lists only the 270 kW A5 e-hybrid quattro plug-in hybrid. The 150 kW petrol is no longer listed, while Audi Australia has told media the 200 kW TFSI quattro remains available by customer order. The e-hybrid Sedan is priced from $89,900 and the Avant from $92,900, plus on-road costs.

On Audi Australia’s website, the A5 Sedan and Avant pages now present the e-hybrid quattro only. Official figures for that plug-in hybrid include a combined 270 kW and 500 Nm, a 5.1-second 0–100 km/h claim, a 25.9 kWh battery (20.7 kWh net) and up to 11 kW AC charging.
The range change lifts the standard starting price by $10,000 compared with the old 150 kW petrol entry point. Audi Australia’s product team has said plug-in demand in the A5 range has been strong enough to move the 200 kW quattro, the successor to the old A4 45 TFSI, to customer order only rather than delete it completely. That remains a media statement from Audi Australia rather than a line on the public specification guide, so buyers who want a petrol A5 should get the order terms in writing from a dealer.
The S5 Sedan and Avant stay in the line-up as petrol V6 models, so this is not a wholesale switch of the entire A5 family to plug-in hybrid. Audi has separately said it is not planning to bring its China-built models to Australia, which we covered in our earlier story on Audi ruling out China-built models.
