The 2024 Audi A5, S5, and RS5 models are offered in coupe, cabriolet, and Sportback body styles. A5 models all come with a 2.0L TFSI 4-cylinder engine with turbocharging, direct injection, and a new 12-volt hybrid system. It increased power from 248 to 261 horsepower. The A5 Sportback 40s produce 201 horsepower. While S5 models get 349 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque with a 3.0L turbocharged TFSI V6 engine. The super sportier version RS5 has under the hood a 2.9L twin-turbo V6 pumping out 444 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque. Quattro all-wheel drive is the only drivetrain available, not that that's a bad thing.

Transmission options vary between the three models. The A5 Sportback, Cabriolet and Coupe only come paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The S5 and RS5 models are equipped with an even more outstanding 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission that features 4 separate modes of driving. (Comfort, Auto, Dynamic and Individual)

The entire lineup gets Audi's Quattro all-wheel drive system, which sends 60 percent of power to the rear wheels under normal driving, to give these models more of a performance character and a more balanced feel in tight corners. The S5 and RS5 models get a sport rear differential that helps distribute power to further aid performance.

Cabriolets feature a power-folding acoustic soft top that can be operated at speeds of up to 31 mph; it also has enough thermal insulation for winter use, and special attention has been paid to trunk space. Even when folded, the top allows enough trunk space for a couple of small weekend bags. The rear seatbacks can still be folded forward to access more space. The setup also includes LED reading lamps and a heated rear window.

Depending on how much luxury is desired, there are three different trim levels for the A5 and S5: Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige.
