2.0T Premium 4dr All-Wheel Drive quattro Sportback
2020 Audi A5
The Audi A5, with its gorgeous lines, comes as a coupe, Cabriolet convertible, or practical five-door Sportback. It's for those who want the mechanical virtues of the A4, as under the skin the A5 is mostly the same. For 2020, the A5 (like the A4) gets sharper headlights, a slightly bolder grille, and new infotainment system that abandons the console control knob for a touchscreen.
One thing different about the A5 is that it doesn't use the less powerful version of Audi's 2.0-liter turbo engine. The base A5 engine is the optional A4 engine; that is, a 248-horsepower turbo-4 with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.
The A5 is quick, but for real speed there is the high-performance S5 and its 349-hp turbocharged V-6.
Other virtues of the A5 are its responsive steering, its plush but firm ride, a clean interior with high-grade materials, high technology, and its safety. The coupe and convertible are sleek but snug in back; the Sportback solves that, while remaining relatively svelte.
The A5 Coupe and Sportback are EPA-rated at 24 mpg city, 32 highway, 27 combined, on premium fuel, while the heavier Cabriolet gets 1 mpg less. The S5 is rated at 23/30/27 mpg.
The latest A5 has earned top marks in every crash test done by the IIHS. The Sportback earned five stars overall from the NHTSA, with four stars in the frontal collision test. Automatic emergency braking is standard equipment in every A5, while adaptive cruise control, active lane control, and other active safety features are optional.
