The 2024 S5 is very balanced for both performance and luxury. It's a beautiful vehicle inside and out and has easy-to-use controls. It's genuinely enjoyable if you want to take it on twisty roads, and it doesn't sacrifice comfort and luxury. It's not perfect — the design compromises rear passenger space and visibility, and the price is a little steep for the top-end Prestige — but it's a highly compelling choice in the class.Read full review

Overview

At Audi, the letter S stands for sport. When an Audi has an S in its name, you can bet it offers more power, performance and overall driving satisfaction than the vehicle on which the company bases it (but not quite as much as an Audi RS model). That helps to understand what the 2024 Audi S5 lineup brings to the table compared to equivalent A5 models. This year, the S5 continues in coupe, convertible (Cabriolet) and hatchback (Sportback) body styles, each receiving more standard equipment, including driver assist, parking assistance and remote engine starting features.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Audi S5 Premium 2dr Coupe AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A) 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 $3.79 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.}

Edmunds spotlight: What makes the Audi S5 special?

Depending on the body style you choose, you could save about ten grand by choosing the Audi A5 over the sport-tuned Audi S5. But then you'd miss out on a more powerful turbocharged V6 engine, a sport-tuned suspension and larger front brakes. The Audi S5 is quicker to accelerate, too, shaving about a second off the blast to 60 mph. The S5 models also have upgraded interior features with more seat bolstering, diamond-stitched leather and a massage function. Exclusive options include an available speed-dependent, variable-ratio steering system with quicker response to driver inputs, a sport rear differential that enhances handling, and an adaptive damping suspension. Is all that worth the premium over the A5? We think so.

Competitors to consider

BMW is the only Audi rival that matches the S5 lineup model for model. Within the BMW 4 Series lineup, the M440i offers a bump in performance in coupe, convertible and hatchback (Gran Coupe) variants. In addition, like the Audi S5, each of these BMW M440i models has standard all-wheel drive. You might also consider the new Mercedes-Benz CLE 450 in coupe and convertible body styles, and the Acura Integra Type S could prove enticing as an alternative to the S5 Sportback, especially if you want a manual gearbox.

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8.5/10

How does the S5 drive? We tested an S5 Sportback, which is the four-door hatchback. There's plenty of power from the turbocharged V6 even if it's not immediately explosive off the line. Once on the move, acceleration is swift, steady and satisfying. In Edmunds' track testing, our S5 Sportback test car was able to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in a rapid 4.3 seconds. The brakes work well to bring all that speed to a halt, offering relatively fade-free performance in dynamic situations, but they're equally easy and smooth-acting during a casual commute.

The S5 is capable around corners too. Our car came equipped with the optional S Sport package. It helps blend the best of all-wheel-drive traction with the nimble feeling of a rear-wheel-drive car. The S5's dynamic steering also feels well matched to whatever drive mode setting you're in.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the S5? We continue to be amazed at the balance of the S5 Sportback. Comfort is just as much a priority as performance. The front seats are very supportive and pleasant, and the available heated and ventilated elements work swiftly. The easy-to-use climate control maintains the cabin temperature accurately, and the fans aren't excessively noisy, even on high.

The optional adaptive suspension is a great way to go in the S5 because it offers excellent qualities for multiple scenarios. Comfort mode smooths out rough interstates and broken pavement with ease, while Dynamic mode keeps the body motion in check through spirited driving. The S5 is relatively silent at all speeds and well isolated from both road and wind noise.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? Getting in and out of the S5 Sportback's front seats is easy. If you're on the taller side, you might have to duck to get into the rear seats due to the sloping roofline. There's a good amount of room for front occupants plus plenty of adjustment range for the driver. The rear seats are decent in terms of comfort and space for two adults up to about 5-foot-10 or so.

Audi's S5 Sportback doesn't have the dual touchscreen interface that the newer Audis have, but that could be a good thing for some people. Most interior controls are clear, logically placed, and consistent in look and feel. The menu structure for both the digital instrument panel and the touchscreen menu system takes a few uses to learn, though.

Visibility out of the front is decent. The over-the-shoulder view is a bit compromised due to the Sportback design and the thick rear roof pillars. The available surround-view camera system definitely helps when you're backing out of parking spaces.

Build & Price

Technology

8/10

How’s the tech? Audi's 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system's graphics are crisp and vibrant. Audi's Virtual Cockpit, a configurable fully digital instrument panel, is able to display nearly anything you want with as much information you want. The navigation system is straightforward and simple to use. The voice controls work pretty well, and while they're not quite conversational, the commands come close and have a good breadth of functions. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration is standard.

Storage

8/10

How’s the storage? The S5 Sportback has a good amount of room for stuff in the rear cargo area under the hatch. The 40/20/40-split rear seats help give you versatility for odd-sized objects. The load height is reasonable, and the cargo area is free of intrusions.

The storage for small items in the cabin is merely average. There are a couple of small pockets in the center console area with room to keep items like a phone, keys or credit cards. The center console bin can fit a wallet and other similar-size items but nothing much bigger. The cupholders are on the small side, so don't plan to stop for that Big Gulp.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

7/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates the S5 Sportback gets 23 mpg in combined driving, keeping it in line with the class. On our mixed-driving evaluation route, we observed 23.5 mpg, indicating the EPA's numbers are realistic. Naturally, more spirited driving could result in fuel economy falling into the mid- to high teens.

Value

7/10

Is the S5 a good value? The S5 Sportback is on the pricier side compared to peers when they're similarly equipped. There's value with the midlevel trims, but you may miss out on a couple of desired features. Our Audi S5 Sportback test car was well built, which is something we've come to expect from Audi. There were no unsightly gaps, welds or hinges. Audi's warranty coverage is average for a luxury brand.

Wildcard

8.5/10

While the S5 Sportback has a sleek profile, its overall design is quite understated. If you want to have some fun, the S5 is capable of delivering it. Power is ample but not overwhelming, and it's well matched to the Audi's handling capability. It engages you, and once you're done having fun, you ease off and enjoy it purely as a luxury sedan.

Which S5 does Edmunds recommend?

We think the S5 Premium Plus delivers the right blend of equipment and value. It adds upgraded digital instrumentation, a terrific Bang & Olufsen premium audio system, a surround-view camera, and a blind-spot warning system. In addition, it is your ticket to the S Sport package and enhanced performance.
