5 reasons to buy the 2023 Audi S5

1. Elegant and well-designed interior 

Passengers in the 2023 Audi S5 are treated luxury from the premium materials, ergonomic seating, and wealth of features. It’s lined with leather and faux suede upholstery, along with metallic accents, and soft-touch plastic in some places. Heated front seats with massage function and three-zone automatic climate control only make the entire environment inside the 2023 Audi S5 that much more luxurious. 

2. Sophisticated tech features 

In the technology department, the 2023 Audi S5 has a series of features ensuring an enjoyable ride for all passengers. It comes standard with an infotainment system that includes a 10.1-inch touchscreen and smartphone compatibility, along with a ten-speaker stereo system and Bluetooth® connectivity. On top of that, there are a couple of standard driver-assistance features, such as lane-departure warning, forward-collision mitigation, and automated emergency braking. 

3. Surprisingly good storage space 

Although utility is not the primary function of the 2023 Audi S5, it’s still nice to know that it offers a decent amount of storage space. In the convertible configuration, there is 9 cu-ft of space, whereas the coupe version has 11 cu-ft. That’s enough for a few carry-on bags or a couple of days’ worth of groceries, so it will allow you to run more than a few errands around town and even fit everything you need for a short weekend trip. 

4. A mighty engine 

No list describing the strong suits of the 2023 Audi S5 should omit its formidable engine. It’s a turbocharged 3.0L V6 with 349 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque, that works together with an eight-speed automatic transmission. With this powertrain, the S5 goes from zero to 60 mph in only 4.8 seconds, so you can count on getting a thrilling driving experience whenever you sit behind the wheel of this sporty sedan. 

5. All-wheel drive for optimal performance 

The overall performance of the 2023 Audi S5 is enhanced by a sophisticated all-wheel drive system that intelligently distributes power to all four wheels in the most effective way. It’s Audi’s own quattro® system that’s played a part in many of its models for a long time. It allows for better grip on different surfaces, especially rough roads, as well as wet and slippery ones. Additionally, it increases stability while cornering, so you’ll be able to confidently make sharp turns and enjoy windy roads the way they are meant to.
