Audi reimagines its compact luxury lineup with the 2025 A5, combining the best of the A4 and A5 Sportback into a sleek, modern liftback. Built on the new Premium Platform Combustion (PPC), the A5 now features a longer wheelbase and hatch-style practicality that enhances both style and utility.
Power & Performance
Audi equips the U.S. version of the A5 with a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 that produces 268 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. A 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and standard quattro all-wheel drive deliver power smoothly and confidently. The A5 accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.8 seconds and returns an impressive 31 mpg on the highway. Drivers will appreciate the balance between performance and refinement during everyday commutes.
Ride & Handling
Audi engineers tuned the suspension for comfort and precision. In Sport mode, the adaptive dampers reduce body roll, while the steering offers accuracy and composure. Although the A5 doesn’t rival the BMW 3 Series in sharpness, it provides a calm, capable drive. The cabin remains quiet, though tire noise can emerge on rough surfaces.
Interior & Technology
Audi designed a digital-first cockpit featuring an 11.9″ digital gauge cluster, a 14.5″ MMI touchscreen, and an optional 10.9″ passenger display. Powered by Android Automotive and enhanced with ChatGPT voice control, the system feels fast, smart, and intuitive. The layout emphasizes the driver without feeling cluttered.
Practicality
The liftback body offers 445 liters of trunk space, expandable to over 1,299 liters with the rear seats folded. That makes the A5 more practical than most traditional sedans.
Conclusion
With advanced tech, upscale design, and everyday comfort, the 2025 Audi A5 delivers a refined experience that blends utility with premium appeal.
