    Audi A5

    All Audi Vehicles

    Latest Model

    2025 Model Redesign Year
    Audi consolidated almost its entire lineup of small cars into the new A5 four-door, eliminating the A4 in the process. The regular A5 gets a 268-hp, turbocharged four-cylinder, while the sportier S5 gets a 362-hp, turbo V6. We found the A5 engaging to drive, thanks to quick steering, well-controlled body roll, and strong brakes. It also benefits from a quiet cabin, comfortable front seats, and the cargo-carrying ability of its hatchback design. But the experience is marred by low-speed lurching sensations from the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the controls are unintuitive to use while driving.

    2018 Model Redesign Year
    The 2018 A5 and S5 coupe and convertible have been redesigned. The A5 gets a 252-hp, 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder matched to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. The S5 is powered by a 354-hp, 3.0-liter turbo V6 mated to an eight-speed automatic. All-wheel drive is standard. The Sportback, a four-door hatchback, is also be available. Standard safety equipment includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking. For 2022, the S line comes with a firmer, sport-oriented suspension. For 2024, all A5s get standard adaptive cruise control.

    2008-2017

    2008 Model Redesign Year
    The exceptionally handsome Audi A5 coupes and convertibles have quiet and luxurious cabins with accommodations for four. Although the rear seat is snug, it's one of the best in any convertible. The Audi two-door drives well, demonstrating agile handling and a taut, but compliant suspension system. The A5 initially used a 3.2-liter V6 engine in the base model, while the S5 performance version featured a 4.2-liter V8. A turbocharged four-cylinder arrived in 2010, delivering ample power but sounding raspy. The V6 was dropped in 2013.
    The eight-speed automatic is super-smooth. The convertible has a shudder-free body structure and is almost devoid of wind buffeting. What's more, the well-insulated soft top can be operated while driving at low speeds. The revised S5 uses a supercharged V6 with a seven-speed automated manual transmission.
