2024 Audi RS 5 Hatchback Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Audi RS 5 is a high-performance model sitting above the A5 and S5, but its power and looks elevate it to a stand-alone model. There is only one trim offered in either RS 5 coupe or RS 5 Sportback form. Both are powered by the same 2.9-liter turbocharged V6 engine (444 horsepower, 442 lb-ft of torque) driving through an eight-speed automatic transmission and Quattro all-wheel-drive system. Audi offers a number of option packages for customers looking to add equipment to an already extensive standard features list.

The RS 5 coupe and Sportback come with these equipment highlights:

  • 19-inch alloy wheels with summer performance tires
  • Auto-dimming and power-folding heated mirrors
  • Torque-vectoring rear differential (can enhance agility when cornering)
  • Selectable drive modes
  • Matrix-design LED headlights
  • Panoramic sunroof

Which RS 5 trim does Edmunds recommend?

Just one trim level of RS 5 is available, so the biggest decision you have to make is whether to get the two-door coupe or four-door Sportback. But if you want the full RS experience, we recommend adding the Competition package for its enhanced coilover suspension, upgraded wheels and tires, and more aurally pleasing RS exhaust system.
