True, I also hate it. It feels cheap and actually doesnt fit with the rest of the car... I think actually EU should start regulating as usual, since it doesnt feel safe, but for all carals manufactured. Common controls should always be physical, like emergency, airco, windows, volume control and so on, also cruise control. I would just put navigating panel, and other not critical things...

So, it’s larger and longer than the older A4, but has a smaller boot. It’s got touchscreens galore inside, but has no physical buttons, and the S4 variant, has a V6 petrol engine, instead of the previous engine, which was a TDI. I was really hoping that it would look great (which it thankfully does), but I wish they’d have kept some physical buttons for the most widely used features and also would have kept the TDI engine from the previous vehicle, as I continue to be a fan of diesel and their torque figures. Not everything that’s new is better and in this case, I would say this is a somewhat of a downgrade - at least for me. A shame.

Gonna miss the exquisite styling of the current RS5 Sportback, the new Avant is not too bad but the “sedan” leaves me a bit cold, on first glance it gave me a less interesting Ford Mondeo vibes. Interior is not too bad, should had more physical switches and dials for often used functions and I’m sad the more performance oriented models are leaning on hybrid set up’s, overly and unnecessarily complicated but I’m sure it’ll be fairly rapid and heavier then the outgoing cars.

Honestly these days automakers create more of a gadget rather than a car that we’ve come to love. Forget that horrible looking steering wheel, those high-end screens, piano plastic trim makes it less practical, less engaging and un-natural. It’s obviously downgrade. Only handful of automakers (probably Mazda being one of them aside from high end Porsche) still make cars, not gadgets: practical screens (not huge, not diminutive, just the right size), a bit heavy steering wheel, less-spongy suspension and of course physical buttons for A/C. Kudos to Mazda!

Comparing design of A5 F5 or A4 B9 and new A5 PCP that is way step back. Thank you that showed this.

Since they cancelled normal A6 line and for annual mileage reasons would not go for a electric car, just checked A5 Avant prices in my country and lower class car with similar specs and 2litre engine is priced almost exactly at the level where I specced my car just 3 years ago. Needless to say larger, more comfortable and with more powerful V6 diesel engine.....Pity because apart from 3 screens you can hardly justify such a price jump as main technology remains the same...

Audi sinking to new lows with interior quality and design. Overall, the car looks OK externally, but £73k starting price for a base S5 Avant, so what the Black Edition will be over £80k I'm guessing. BMW M340 Touring is £59k and with almost every option added, still less than the new Audi. The BMW has a much better interior, is faster, looks better and it's a LOT cheaper, not to mention BMW finance rates are half Audis. No brainer, don't buy this if you wanted a new S4, sorry, S5 Avant.

As a long time Audi driver. I'd sum this up as uninspiring. This package manages to give you none of the advantages of the A5 or A4. Want a coupé - nope, that's gone. Want an estate - certainly. Here's one that's smaller than the car it replaces. 2004 to 2010 was peak Audi. It's been a gradual decline ever since and this latest model is no exception. I see from your video that the A6 is going to be EV only. Let's take the biggest estate we make and one of the biggest saloons. Both made for racking up miles day after day everyday and blight them with minuscule EV ranges back up with motorway charging networks that generally have 50% of the chargers out of action. Its makes no sense. Odd numbers to remain combustion. The A3 is a prime candidate for EV and city use yet that will be combustion. A6 is made for big miles yet will be blighted with EV
