The Audi A5 slots between the A4 and A6 sedans as the German automaker's first full-size coupe since the 100. Considerably larger than the TT coupe, the A5 is marketed as a true four-seater.
With classic "look at me" coupe proportions and an aggressive face, the A5 continues Audi's departure from the brand's outgoing design language, which was elegant yet decidedly understated. Those seeking an even more eye-catching look should check out the high-performance S5 as well as the A5 Convertible.
For the latest model year, the A5 comes with just one engine option: a 211 horsepower 2.0-liter DOHC engine with FSI direct-injection and a turbocharger, ditching the previous generations premium 265 hp 3.2-liter V6 with FSI direct-injection.
The A5, like the A4 line, now exclusively uses the 2.0T engine, but in this instance comes with either a six-speed manual transmission that will return 21 city, 31 highway miles per gallon and sprint from zero-to-60 in 6.4 seconds.
Or, one can opt for the Tiptronic automatic transmission and achieve 21 city and just 29 highway mpg, with a slightly slower acceleration time of 6.7 seconds.
All-wheel-drive is standard across the board. Audi promises razor-sharp handling thanks to an engine placement behind the front wheels, resulting in better weight distribution than any existing Audi, aside from the mid-engine R8.
Audi A5 S-line package
The exterior S-line package features 19-inch S line five-Y-spoke wheels with superior handling 255/35 summer performance tires. A sport-tuned suspension is included to help improve driving dynamics. Exterior trim elements include the iconic Singleframe grille, side valances, S line specific front and rear bumpers, and badging.
Inside, elements include Brushed Aluminum doorsills with S line badging and elegant Brushed Aluminum decorative inlays extending across the center console, doors and dashboard. The S line designation extends to the three-spoke, leather-wrapped steering wheel featuring special perforated leather and S line badge. Also included are S line sport seats with leather and perforated Alcantara seat inserts.
Optional Features
The MMI Navigation plus Package features a 7-inch full-color LCD screen and MMI control logic. The newest generation A5 comes equipped with the latest generation of MMI, powered by a 40-GB hard drive and an NVIDIA processor to enhance graphics. The nav system also offers a color driver information system, real-time traffic and voice control for navigation and telephone functions.
Additionally, it has 3D topography graphics that include the buildings in many cities and the crystal clear digital AM and FM sound of HD Radio. Also included is the Audi parking system with a rearview camera for real-time viewing of the parking area with rear ultrasonic parking sensors measuring the distance to the nearest object and audibly warning you when the distance becomes unsafe.
There are also two stand alone sport package that involve unique 19-inch wheels and unique interior accents, such as a Piano Black inlay, black headliner, and supportive sport seats.
Also optional are heated front seats, genuine Milano leather seats, wood decorative inlays, a 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system and adaptive cruise control.
Key Competitors
Those considering the Audi A5 might also want to look at the BMW 3-Series Coupe, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe and the Infiniti G37 Coupe.
