Question 1

Is the multitronic in the Audi A5 reliable?

Accepted Answer

It is the least durable of the A5's automatics: the CVT in front-wheel-drive first-generation cars can judder or slip at higher mileage. On a test drive, feel for shudder pulling away and ask whether its oil was changed.

Question 2

What should I check on an Audi A5 with S tronic?

Accepted Answer

That it pulls away smoothly and creeps quietly when manoeuvring, and that the gearbox oil was changed on schedule. Hesitation or jerks can mean worn clutches or a failing mechatronic unit, a costly repair.

Question 3

How much road tax does an automatic Audi A5 pay in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

The gearbox does not change the formula: the CO₂ figure × 0.6 for petrol or 0.9 for diesel × a band factor that rises with emissions. Compare the CO₂ figure on each car's papers, since it sets the bill.

Question 4

Is the new Audi A5 available with a manual gearbox?

Accepted Answer

No, every version of the new A5, saloon or Avant, comes with the S tronic automatic, from the 150 hp TFSI to the 367 hp e-hybrid plug-in. Quattro all-wheel drive is fitted to the stronger engines.
