Audi RS 5

The Audi RS5 is the performance flagship of the A5 family, offering a more dramatic and focused alternative to the regular A5 and S5. It combines Audi Sport power, quattro all-wheel drive and a more aggressive chassis tune with coupe-like styling and a premium cabin. Depending on body style and generation, the RS5 has appealed as both a stylish performance coupe and a more practical Sportback. Its strengths are effortless pace, all-weather traction and a polished long-distance feel. It is not as raw as some rear-wheel-drive rivals, but that is part of its character: the RS5 delivers speed and security with the refinement expected from Audi's performance division.

Still liveable
More practical than a coupe...

Cons

Interior looking a bit old
Some plasticky switchgear

2021 Audi RS5 review

It mightn't be a wild child like some of its rivals, but the Audi RS5 carves an appealing niche and offers blistering performance in all weather conditions.

2021 Audi RS5 Sportback review

Audi is clawing its way back to the top of the pile with cars like the RS5 Sportback. I can't think of more capable rivals.
