Audi Announces Pricing for 2010 A4, A5 and Q5

As you may know already, Audi has recently celebrated its centenary and revealed the new A5 Sportback.

Audi has released pricing information for three of its 2010 models. The A4 will begin at $31,450, a mild increase over the 2009’s $31,000 sticker price. With a number of different trims, the A4’s ultimate price will depend on the goodies you want, but it tops out at $42,250 for a Prestige trim with the Tiptronic automatic gearbox.

The A5 gets a price reduction from the $40,700 2009 model, thanks to Audi trading the 3.2-liter six-cylinder engine for a turbocharged 2.0-liter four in the base model. Starting at $36,000 for the 2010 A5 2.0T Quattro coupe, the A5 can climb as high as $45,500 for the automatic Prestige model, which keeps the 3.2-liter six.

Finally, the 2010 Q5 stands as the priciest of these models, with a starting MSRP of $37,350. This a miniscule increase over the ’09, which started at $37,200. The Q5 only comes with an automatic transmission, and the Prestige trim pushes the price up to $48,850. We would have liked to have seen the 2.0-liter turbo make its way into the Q5 and lower the price like Audi did with the A5.

But this is not all, because the German manufacturer also teased us with the new A8 flagship sedan. As you may see from the photo, the new vehicle will feature a new grille, inspired by the Sportback Concept, revealed at this year’s Detroit Auto Show

and the “common” LEDs. Next to the car, is Michael Dick, Member of the Management Board of Audi, but he is not teased… that’s the real one!
