A number of new Audi models will be launching with new and exciting features in 2023.
Let’s take a quick look at the new Audi models for this year.
Audi A3.
The A3 already received some major updates last year – and you can expect more in terms of cosmetic changes in 2023. The 2023 A3 gets full LED headlights and stitched leatherette armrests as standard while ADAS functions such as adaptive cruise control are now available. There are also three optional packages: Convenience, Premium Plus, and the Black Optic Sport package. Convenience includes a wireless charger pad while the Premium Plus adds LED ambient lighting and wood inlays on the dashboard. The top-tier Black Optic Sport package offers new wheels and tires.
Audi S5.
This model year the S5 gets even more features you will love. Among them: Matrix-LED headlights as standard and newly available 18-inch 5-spoke wheels. You might also want to inquire about the Competition package, which brings new suspension and an even more comfortable ride. The Competition package also includes an altered rear differential and tightened steering for the best drive ever.

Audi A6.
Be sure to ask about new ADAS – as in advanced driving assistance systems. The 45 and 55 TFSI models in Premium trim will gain adaptive cruise control along with lane guidance. And the Prestige trim now includes remote park assist plus. Power-operated boot, LED interior lighting, and heated/cooled seats can now be offered as part of a package.
Audi A8.
Changes are minimal to this model due to the fact that it got a refresh in the middle of last year. However, the Comfort Plus package adds those HD matrix-LED headlights to the sedan while the Executive package now offers remote park assist plus.
Audi e-tron/ e-tron Sportback.
These are expected to remain largely unchanged except for a few equipment pack updates. The e-Tron Sportback Prestige gains 22-inch alloy wheels, orange brake calipers, rear side airbags – and LED matrix headlights. The Prestige trim adds the Black Optic pack as standard.
Audi e-tron GT/ RS e-tron GT.
The new Audi e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT gain some pretty significant exterior and interior design alterations. Among other things, The e-tron GT gains a body-colored grille to replace the gray one. And a new Bang and Olufsen audio setup, a second charging port on the passenger side, and 20-inch all-season tires are now standard within the update. You also now have the option of anthracite brake calipers with 21-inch 5-spoke dished alloy wheels for the RS e-tron GT.

Audi Q5.
This is the German automaker’s top-selling model globally. And now the Audi Q5 adds ADAS functions to its seemingly endless list of features. Go for the Premium Plus trim level and you now get a Bang and Olufsen audio setup. The Q5 55 Prestige trim will come with LED taillights as part of the Sport Plus package.
