Audi S5: The Performance Coupe and Sportback
The S5 is the performance version of the A5, blending strong turbocharged power and quattro grip with elegant coupe or Sportback style.
The S5 sits above the A5, offering a more powerful engine, historically a supercharged V6 and later a turbocharged V6, with quattro all-wheel drive and sport-tuned suspension. It combines genuine performance with the A5's stylish bodywork.
Available as a coupe, convertible, and Sportback, the S5 delivers refined, rapid acceleration and all-weather capability while retaining everyday comfort and Audi's premium cabin.
The S5 appeals to buyers wanting style, performance, and practicality in one package, sitting below the hardcore RS 5 in the lineup.
