The A5 Coupe and A5 Cabriolet are no longer in production, and it looks like they won’t be making a comeback. This marks the end of an era for Audi’s coupe and convertible lineup, following a series of recent goodbyes.

It all began in 2019 with the retirement of the A3 Cabriolet, a move that was a harbinger of more to come. Last year, the TT Roadster and TT Coupe exited stage left, and just a few months ago, the final R8 rolled off the line, closing the chapter on Audi’s mid-engine supercar era.

Now, Audi has revealed its 2025 lineup for the US, and it’s missing some key players—the A5 Coupe and A5 Cabriolet. Our friends at Motor1 Germany reached out to Audi for clarification, and unfortunately, our worst fears were confirmed: production of these two-door A5 variants, including their high-performance S and RS versions, has been halted. There’s no plan to replace them, and the lack of spy shots or prototypes suggests that these are the final two-door models from Ingolstadt.

Audi is clearly pivoting away from coupes and convertibles, with no new models on the horizon. The remaining A5 lineup now consists solely of the A5 Sedan (which is technically a liftback) and the A5 Avant, with hot S5 versions already available and an RS5 on the way.

There’s been some talk about Audi potentially reviving the TT and R8 as electric vehicles in the future, but no concrete plans have been laid out. Given Audi’s ambitious goal to become an all-electric brand by 2033, it seems unlikely we’ll see a new coupe or convertible powered by an internal combustion engine anytime soon.

In the competitive landscape, other brands still offer rear-door-free options. BMW’s lineup includes the Z4, 4 Series Coupe/Convertible, and 8 Series Coupe/Convertible, though these are expected to disappear in a few years. Fortunately, the smaller 2 Series Coupe will stick around for a while longer.

Mercedes-Benz has scaled down its offerings to the CLE Coupe/Cabriolet, AMG GT Coupe, and SL, as the SLC, S-Class Cabriolet, and AMG GT Roadster have already been discontinued. The new CLE merges the former C-Class and E-Class two-door models into one cohesive pair.

The reality is that coupes and convertibles are becoming increasingly hard to sell. Consumers are leaning towards the practicality of rear doors and the versatility of SUVs. Even with the allure of a folding top, which can compromise cargo space, it’s clear that these models are no longer top of mind for buyers.

Audi’s focus is shifting towards meeting stricter emissions regulations and developing electric vehicles. The cost of making internal combustion engines cleaner is high, and investing in electric technology is a priority. This shift is why Audi is prioritizing SUVs, with a new three-row model, potentially the Q9, on the horizon.

In recent years, other Audi models have been phased out due to sluggish sales. The three-door A1 and A3 have disappeared, and the A4 sedan is currently without a direct replacement. The A4 is expected to return later this decade as an electric vehicle, with the new A5 Sedan filling the void for now.

As Audi prepares to phase out the A1 supermini and the Q2 subcompact crossover, it’s clear that the brand is concentrating on what sells best, focusing on its core offerings and future electric models.
