Engaging midsize luxury

Setting itself apart in the luxury segment, the 2024 Audi A5 offers enviable curb appeal, with the choice of coupe, convertible, and hatchback body style options. For 2024, all models now get a heated steering wheel as standard. Onboard tech also gets a boost for 2024, with front and rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, and traffic sign recognition also joining the standard features list. Seating up to five depending on the body style you’re drawn to, this second-generation (2018 onwards) A5 is an elegant and fun choice if you’re looking to elevate your everyday driving.

5 reasons to buy the 2024 Audi A5

1. Body style choice 

With three appealing body styles to choose from, the 2024 Audi A5 will hold your attention wherever you go. For driving in warm weather states you’ll love the two-door, four-seat cabriolet A5, its soft-top roof stows away in around 15 seconds. Choose the A5 Sportback if you want seating for five passengers and a hatch-style cargo door, while the two-door coupe offers executive-style driving, with an aerodynamic eye-catching sports silhouette. 

2. Engine performance 

The available 2024 A5 engine options are all set to thrill, though it's the body style that initially dictates which you get, rather than the trim level you choose. The four-door hatchback edition houses the base engine, a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder, capable of 201 hp and 236 pound-feet of torque. If you’re leaning towards the 2024 A5 coupe or convertible, you’ll enjoy a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine, good for 261 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. This upgraded engine is also available as an option for the Sportback model. 

3. Trim features 

The 2024 Audi A5 is generously equipped, throughout its style and trim iterations. The Premium base trim has leather upholstery, Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay® smartphone connectivity, and adaptive cruise control all as standard. Pick the coupe or Sportback model, and you’ll also get a panoramic sunroof. Stepping up to the Premium Plus trim includes two passenger-pleasing upgrades: a Bang & Olufsen® premium audio system and wireless device charging. The Prestige trim unlocks heated rear seats for the Sportback model, built-in navigation, and for the A5 Cabriolet, the welcome addition of neck heaters. 

4. All-wheel drive 

For enhanced road handling, the 2024 A5 comes equipped with all-wheel drive and sports suspension as standard across all body styles. Seasonal driving can mean rain or snow on the roads, which this A5 can handle with aplomb thanks to its superior traction capability on slippery surfaces. Leisurely coastal and mountain road drives also benefit from this sport suspension and AWD handling duo, enhancing your cornering with a responsive, firmly-planted experience.  

5. Stylish add-on packages 

Why not magnify the impact of your 2024 A5 with one or more of the available style packages? The Black Optic package adds 19-inch wheels, aluminum and black exterior accents, and some color-pop red brake calipers. For an upgraded cabin finish, the S Line interior package, available for Premium Plus and Prestige models adds premium leather and Dinamica® seat upholstery, brushed aluminum trim inlays, and stainless steel pedal caps.
