2020 A5 Sportback Spy Shots
 

Not sure if anyone saw, but spy shots are out.

You're welcome. Hard to judge the front end as it does not look like an S-Line bumper. However, I do like the rear improvements such as the exhaust. I wonder if Audi will actually introduce that honeycomb grill outside of RS cars. It seems as they did so for the facelift TT-S

I'm assuming this is just a test mule with the face lift body work on it. It looks like they might be planning on removing the real exhaust pipes being that the the one on the right is filled in while the left is cut out. Maybe just for the A5 but leaving real pipes for the S5 and RS5.

Looks like they changed the front splinter design some.. More RS looking.

I doubt they would give the A5 a honeycomb grill. Maybe the S5 but then they would have to do something really different to the RS5.

I wonder if they will make matrix LED headlights an option and just leave the matrix function disabled in the US until the new laws gets changed like they are doing with the new A6/A7. I like the new tail lights.

My guess we will see the face-lift as a 2021 model in the US at the earliest.

I really hope they leave the dual exhaust alone and real and not fake. In some of the standing rear shots it looks like they are both real and open but in the driving ones in the snow it definitely one is blocked out.

I think it would be better to not make fake tips if they plan on hiding the pipes. Give the designers more freedom on the rear design instead of being made integrate fake ones in to the design.

Hoping it will match what the parked car shows... real exhaust.

I don't like it either, I recall hearing that it protects the engine in the case of a rear collision.

Wouldn't be surprised if the new A5 has fake exhaust just like the A7. The performance models S/RS will keep the real exhaust pipes IMO.
