Audi has unveiled the new A5, and it's likely not what you're expecting. The brand is shuffling its naming system to make space for EVs, so the next-generation A5 replaces the A4 as the brand's alternative to the BMW 3 Series. It remains offered as a sedan and as a wagon.

2025 Audi A5 sedan and A5 Avant wagon unveiled to replace the A4

The replacement for Audi's rollicking RS 6 Avant was caught testing at the Nürburgring for the first time this week. This new RS 7 Avant prototype confirms that even after the company completes is forthcoming lineup-wide rebranding effort, a bawdy, gasoline-powered performance wagon will remain part of the lineup. But if you were expecting Audi to retreat from its electrification efforts, we've got bad news for you. The sticker on this prototype's windshield warns first responders that it has a high-voltage battery pack on board. Hybrids are here to stay, friends.

Looking at traffic fatalities and road danger data can paint a frightening picture of America’s drivers, but while many states’ roads have become more dangerous after the pandemic, the data shows that some have done a better job than others at keeping drivers safe. Home Solutions, a data provider for homeowners and others, recently ranked states based on their rough road scores, the number of fatalities per 100,000 licensed drivers, and more. Its study showed that states with the most road deaths outpace those with the least by a large margin, though the deadliest states often don’t have the worst road danger scores.

Simon Saunders, director of Ariel, told Autocar that back when the company was only making the road-focused Atom, an American called the company asking for an Atom with "about three feet" of suspension travel. Ariel wasn't ready to do that then, but the idea percolated until Ariel turned it into the Nomad, launched in 2015. Having learned much while building hundreds of Nomads in the past 10 years, and having watched the off-road segment blow up, Ariel is ready with a second-generation Nomad 2. Only the steering wheel, pedal box, and fuel cap from the Nomad have carried over to Nomad 2. Starting with the frame, engineers used larger 2- and 2.5-inch-diameter tubing to increase stiffness by 65%. That figure's achieved even with the Nomad 2 expanding its footprint, its wheelbase 1 7/8 inch longer, its track 2 inches wider. This also provides additional room in the cockpit, a reshaped aperture making for the easier ingress that original Nomad buyers requested.

Ariel Nomad 2 is a comprehensive upgrade with up to 305 hp and 382 lb-ft
