A few days ago, we obtained a set of SAIC Audi A5L road test spy photos. The new car is positioned as a "sedan with a bit of sporty aesthetics" and is equipped with a 2.0T+48V power system. The new PPC (Premium Platform Combustion) platform is expected to be launched in early 2025 because it has higher support for the price of the electrical system, and the model launched in China will have more powerful intelligent driver assistance functions than the overseas version.
Although SAIC Audi A5L has an "L" added to the rear of the name, the overall styling design is still personally designed by Germany designer Mr. Jakob Hirzel, and the design of the second-generation A5 and the overseas version of the new generation A5 are all from his skillful hands.

From the appearance point of view, although the appearance looks tightly wrapped, but always makes people feel that the lines seem to be slightly different, the lamp part, although part is covered by camouflage stickers, but from the outline there is little difference, but the shape of the front envelope at both ends, it is expected that the original Germany factory will make a different detail for domestic consumer preferences, but the overall style is very similar to the front face shape. We can even guess whether domestic models will have special configurations in some functions? In addition, the two millimeter-wave radars that appeared on overseas models also appeared on domestic models from spy photos. According to the understanding, SAIC Audi's new A5L will be equipped with an intelligent driving assistance system in cooperation with Huawei, which is unique among the B-class luxury cars of the BBA brand.

Even from the exposed part of the grille in the domestic version of the model, we can see that the texture inside the grille is slightly different from that of overseas models. The overseas version of the model uses a hexagonal honeycomb shape, while the domestic model has a slightly different shape.

From the side of the body, the domestic version of the model uses a fastback styling design, and compared with the previous FAW-Audi A5L spy photos that were exposed, the overall shape should be more youthful and sporty, and the FAW version is more inclined to the traditional sedan style. According to reliable sources, the total length of the car has been lengthened by 73mm, the width of the car has been increased by 20mm, and the height of the car has been reduced by 4mm. However, it is not known exactly how much the wheelbase has been lengthened, but it looks like the length between the B-pillar and the C-pillar has been lengthened a bit, and the frameless doors are used. Judging from the spy photos, the domestic version of the A5L has not completely destroyed the original line beauty of the body because of the lengthening.

At the rear, the silhouette of the taillights looks the same as the shape of the overseas version, but although the surrounding shape is very similar, the details are still different. Although there are some differences between the SAIC Audi version of the A5L and the overseas version of the A5 from the silhouette, it should basically still be crowned with the title of "the most beautiful Audi" in the Audi car series. The reason for these changes is mainly to change the preferences of mainland consumers.
In terms of power, the new car will use the fifth-generation EA888 Evo 2.0T+48V powertrain. The new car will offer a maximum power of 200kW and will also be offered with a sporty chassis for consumers to choose from. Thanks to the high-end electrical architecture of the E3 1.2 on the PPC platform, the vehicle will be able to drive with five domain controllers: Power Control, Intelligent Assistance, Infotainment, Comfort and Safety. I wonder if you are looking forward to the new SAIC Audi A5L? We will continue to pay attention to more news about the new car.
