~$68,000+
Engine: 3.0L turbocharged V6
Torque: 500 Nm
0–100 km/h: ~4.5 s
The second-generation Audi S5 refined the formula of its predecessor by swapping the old supercharged V6 for a more efficient and torquey 3.0-liter turbocharged V6. Producing 349 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, it delivers a 0–60 mph time of just 4.4 seconds in coupe form—making it quick enough to challenge many entry-level sports cars while maintaining the composure of a luxury daily driver.
Quattro all-wheel drive comes standard, giving the S5 confident traction in all conditions, while a sport rear differential and available adaptive suspension bring sharper handling and better agility to the table. Whether navigating tight curves or cruising at highway speeds, the S5 feels planted, refined, and always ready to surge forward with smooth power delivery.
Design plays a huge role in the S5’s sporty appeal. The coupe, Sportback, and Cabriolet variants each offer sleek silhouettes, muscular lines, and S-specific styling touches like honeycomb grilles, quad exhausts, and subtle badging. Inside, the driver gets sport seats, brushed aluminum or optional carbon inlays, and Audi’s Virtual Cockpit, creating a space that’s both high-tech and performance-focused. The S5 is a sleek, fast all-rounder that knows how to balance restraint with a hidden thrill.

Coupe & Sportback & Cabriolet
Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)
The “S5” designation identifies it as the sport performance version of the A5 lineup, crafted by Audi Sport GmbH. The “S” indicates heightened driving dynamics, enhanced styling, and more powerful engines compared to the standard A5. This B9-generation S5 replaced the previous supercharged V6 with a turbocharged 3.0L V6 (EA839), improving torque, responsiveness, and efficiency. Built on the MLB Evo platform, the S5 balances luxury and sport, offering daily usability with a dynamic edge.
Body & Interior Colors and Rims
The S5 is offered in elegant and sporty finishes like Daytona Gray Pearl, Glacier White, Navarra Blue, and Mythos Black, along with bolder hues like Turbo Blue, District Green, and Tango Red. From 2020 onward, the Black Optic Package introduced gloss black accents on the grille, window trim, and mirror caps, enhancing the coupe’s presence. Audi Exclusive colors are available for custom configurations.
Inside, the S5 features standard leather/Alcantara upholstery, with Fine Nappa Leather and diamond stitching available on higher trims. Inlays include brushed aluminum, carbon atlas, matte oak, or piano black. The dashboard is dominated by Audi Virtual Cockpit (12.3"), MMI Navigation Plus, and a 10.1” touchscreen (post-2020). Ambient lighting and contour lighting packages add a modern and refined atmosphere. The Cabriolet features an acoustically insulated soft top with full trunk access.
Standard wheels start at 18”, while most trims feature 19” or optional 20” Audi Sport wheels in gloss anthracite or titanium matte. Sport models receive red brake calipers, quad tailpipes, and subtle S-line aero enhancements. The Competition Plus package adds sport differential, darkened badging, and black mirror caps, heightening its visual aggression.

vs Competitors
The Audi S5 competes with the BMW M440i xDrive, Mercedes-AMG C43, Genesis G70 3.3T, and Lexus RC 350 F Sport. Where BMW leans toward athleticism and Mercedes toward boldness, Audi strikes a refined balance. Its quattro AWD ensures superior traction in all conditions, while the understated styling appeals to buyers seeking stealthy luxury. The S5 Sportback, in particular, offers practicality without sacrificing performance, making it a compelling daily driver with genuine capability. While not as visceral as the RS5 or as flamboyant as the AMG, it delivers quiet confidence and composure in all scenarios.
Fun Fact
The Audi S5 Sportback accounts for over 70% of S5 sales in North America, thanks to its combination of hatchback practicality, coupe styling, and luxury-sport performance. It’s one of the few cars in its class to offer 0–100 km/h in under 5 seconds, all-wheel drive, a real rear seat, and a usable trunk — all in a single package.
