Reviews

William Stopford

2026 Audi A5 TFSI 150kW review

The entry-level A5 is practical and comfortable, but ultimately fairly unexciting – and its cabin has lost the elegance Audi was known for.

Pros

More practical than sedan rivals
Generally refined driving dynamics
Undercuts rivals from BMW, Mercedes-Benz

Cons

Some cheap interior trim and way too much gloss black plastic
Steering lacks feel
Hyperactive parking sensors and goofy reversing camera

A solid choice that does most things well. Comfortable, capable, and worth considering in this segment.
