2.0T Premium 2dr All-Wheel Drive quattro Coupe
2014 Audi A5
Restyling for 2013 made the Audi A5 and S5 a leaner, sleeker and more muscular look, led by a new nose. On the performance front, a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 bumped the precious 4.2-liter V8 out of the S5 coupe and cabriolet. With that V6, the Audi S5 accelerates as quickly as the prior V8 version and gets better fuel mileage. Meanwhile, the V8 stayed on top of the performance pile, bumping itself to 450 horsepower for use in the 2013 Audi RS5 coupe. After introducing the ultra-performance RS5 coupe for 2013, a cabriolet edition of the RS5 arrives for the 2014 season. Audi A5 and S5 coupe and cabriolet were enhanced for the 2014 model year. Horsepower of the standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine has been raised from 211 to 220 hp. A Convenience package, now standard on all A5 models, includes the Audi music interface, HomeLink, Bluetooth connectivity, and a driver information system.
Audi drive select now is optional for the A5 (included in the Sport package), and standard on S5 and RS5 models. Layered aluminum/black wood inlays are available for S5 models, while S5 coupes can now be fitted with a Comfort package.
Audi side assist, which monitors blind-spot areas as well as rapidly approaching vehicles to the rear, now is offered as a standalone option for A5/S5 Premium Plus models, which gain an advanced key as standard equipment. An S line Competition package (introduced late in the 2013 model year) is offered on Premium Plus and Prestige A5 coupes. That package includes a sport suspension, 19-inch segment spoke wheels with titanium finish, brilliant black exterior moldings, and a black rear diffuser. Inside the A5 when equipped with a Competition package is a three-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel, piano black inlays, leather/Alcantara sport seats, aluminum door sills, and an aluminum manual-shift knob.
A5 Prestige models now have standard S line exterior details. All models may now be equipped with a Black Optic package, which features a Black Optic grille and Singleframe surround; coupes with that option also get a gloss-black window surround.
Audi has the engine line down pat. The 2014 Audi A5 comes with the venerable and silky 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, which has long been the king of four-cylinder engines, now tweaked to yield 220 horsepower. While the 240-horsepower BMW, 240-horsepower Ford, and 274-horsepower Hyundai (all 2.0-liter turbo fours) have been letting Audi know that its reign is over, Audi's 2.0 is still a great base engine for the A5.
Audi quattro all-wheel drive remains at the top of its class, adept and experienced in snow, mud and wet or icy streets. It seems a shame to buy an Audi with front-wheel drive and miss out on quattro.
It's hard to find a direct statistical competitor to the four-seat A5 or S5, considered a grand touring coupe or cabriolet. The Infiniti G37 Coupe is similar, but beyond that you'll find differences in the number of doors or seats. The Mercedes C-Class or BMW 3 Series coupe or convertible with …
