Pros

Classy and upscale interior
Strong overall performance
Plenty of standard and optional tech features

Cons

Limited interior storage
Older tech features compared to other Audi models

What's new

Coupe and convertible body styles are discontinued
Minor revisions to standard feature availability
An all-new A5 is also coming out later in the model year
Part of the second A5 generation introduced for 2018

Overview

The 2025 Audi A5 is based on the A4 sedan. It comes standard with all-wheel drive and a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. For the Sportback, which is a hatchback, the engine comes in two power outputs. For 2025, Audi has discontinued the previously available A5 coupe and convertible body styles. It's also worth noting that an all-new A5 is coming later in the model year. This could be confusing for shoppers because Audi says it will sell the new A5 as a 2025 model, not a 2026.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2025 Audi A5 Premium S line 4dr Hatchback AWD w/45 TFSI (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 7AM) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.72 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.}

Edmunds spotlight: An aging design

Though its replacement has already been unveiled, the 2025 A5 is still on sale and mostly the same as last year's model. Despite its age, the A5 manages to appear fresh. The styling is sharp and somewhat timeless, while the interior is upscale and fitted with sharp-looking digital displays. You'll be hard-pressed to complain about this Audi looking or feeling old — even if it is.

Competitors to consider

BMW's 4 Series is the A5's main competitor. It's available as a coupe and convertible — unlike the Audi — and in a four-door hatchback version called the 4 Series Gran Coupe. BMW has given the 4 Series more attention than Audi has given the A5 lately so the BMW is worth a look, especially if you're buying soon.

Which A5 does Edmunds recommend?

We think the midlevel Premium Plus trim is the best value. It comes standard with some extra features you'll enjoy having, such as a wireless phone charger, a surround-view camera and a Bang & Olufsen premium audio system.

2019 Audi A5 2.0 TFSI Premium quattro 2dr Coupe AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)

I bought the car CPO in October of last year. I can’t say enough about how impressed I am with the overall performance. It’s peppy, quiet and very comfortable. After owning a BMW 440, a Infiniti Q50, and a Mercedes E350 I am sold on the Audi brand.

2022 Audi A5 Premium Plus S line 4dr Hatchback AWD w/45 TFSI (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 7AM)

Well…here I go again with Audi. I owned a 2009 A5 coupe with nonstop oil consumption problems, and now I have a brand new 2022 A5 with transmission problems. It started leaking transmission fluid at around 700 miles and at 1100 miles it had to be towed to the dealership as the transmission has failed. Now I am waiting for them to get parts in to start the process of trying to remedy …

2019 Audi A5 2.0 TFSI Premium Plus quattro 4dr Hatchback AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)

I've had my sport back for a week. bought it as certified pre owned- got a good deal as its the end of the year, etc. I'm not sure why I was in the dealer for 5+ hours! You'd think that "old school" approach to car buying could be fixed by now. The one I opted for happened to have the "S" trim line and the "black optic package". Which, basically added a few trim pieces and a 3D B&O …

Fun car, happy with purchase.

2019 Audi A5 2.0 TFSI Premium Plus quattro 4dr Hatchback AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)

Overall I give it 4 stars. I tend to have high expectations when it comes to cars, and its difficult to find a vehicle in today's market that checks all of the boxes. This car comes close, with some minor annoyances. Pros: Great look, gets lots of compliments with the blue exterior and black optic package. Comfortable ride, great handling/acceleration, lots of room in the back for …
