Audi expects to sell about 600 models a year in Australia once the full model line-up has arrived by the end of next year.
The A5 will become available in October in petrol models, with a 195kW 3.2-litre multitronic version. It's expected to be priced at about $90,000.
The sportier S5 model, at $130,000-$135,000 with a 4.2-litre, V8 engine, quattro all-wheel-drive and a manual transmission, will later join the line-up. The range topper generates 260kW at 7000rpm and 440Nm at 3500rpm.
Another four versions will be added next year, with a tiptronic 3.2-litre quattro model arriving around March. This is expected to have a $5000 excess over the multitronic version.
A tiptronic 4.2-litre S5 will also join the line-up in April. It will be between $134,000-$139,000.
And fans of the new coupe who want something more affordable will also have to
wait until April, when the 125kW 1.8-litre, turbocharged model arrives.
It will be priced at $70,000-$75,000 and is expected to be the volume seller.
Diesel fans will also have to wait, with a 3.0-litre turbo diesel expected next August, with both quattro and tiptronic features.
It will produce 176kW and 500Nm and will carry a $95,000-$100,000 price point.
