Audi S5
Few cars marry utility and sensuality like the all-new Audi S5. That sleek, fastback silhouette? Pure sport sedan poetry. But look again: it’s a five-door—everyday functionality wrapped in head-turning form. The liftback design adds a bold edge to the signature Audi elegance, offering cargo convenience without compromising on style. For those who crave a dose of drama with their practicality, this is your new obsession.
Audi’s already legendary lighting game just leveled up. The new S5 puts its digital brilliance front and center with eight customizable daytime running light (DRL) signatures on Premium Plus and Prestige trims. Our Prestige model dazzled in every sense, transforming the DRLs into a dynamic style statement that’s unmistakably Audi—even in your rearview mirror.
We took the new S5 to some high-altitude fun on some twist-laden roads outside of Aspen. At just over 12,000 feet, this car’s lungs (a turbocharged 3.0L TFSI® V6) delivered with unflinching force: 362 horsepower, 406 lb-ft of torque, and a 0-60 mph sprint in just 4.3 seconds. Mated to a lightning-quick 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission, the engine felt surgical in its power delivery. Add in quattro® all-wheel drive and a standard sport rear differential, and you’ve got a precision tool for carving up the Rockies—or your daily commute.
New S5 suspension componentry lends sharper steering feedback while maintaining Audi’s signature ride comfort. It’s the duality we’ve come to expect from Ingolstadt: ferocious yet refined.
Step inside and the S5 gets even sexier. Materials feel lush and purposeful, from the stitched leather sport seats to the clean, horizontal dash design. The cockpit is driver-focused without being intimidating, offering just the right amount of digital without going full spaceship. A new shifter design, redesigned steering wheel, and updated surfaces give the cabin a crisp, modern edge that mirrors the exterior.
Audi’s MMI® touch response system anchors the tech-forward cabin, with crisp graphics and haptic feedback that feels intuitive rather than intrusive. A 12.3-inch Audi virtual cockpit presents navigation, performance stats, and media in crisp detail, while natural voice recognition allows for easy interaction on the go. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, and the available Bang & Olufsen® 3D Premium Sound System fills the cabin with clean, dimensional sound—your soundtrack, elevated.
Form follows function in the all-new S5. The more aerodynamic exterior doesn’t just look sculpted—it reduces drag and increases efficiency. From the newly contoured hood lines to the taut side profile and more aggressive rear diffuser, this car feels designed for the wind tunnel and the red carpet.
The all-new Audi S5 is a rare breed—equal parts powerhouse and design icon. It’s got the moves, the muscle, and that elusive cool factor that makes you glance back every time you park. With a smarter chassis, sharper tech, and those unmistakable lights, the new S5 doesn’t just raise the bar. It changes the game.
