2024 Audi A5: Choosing the Right trim

Audi’s 2024 A5 line includes a sporty coupe, a soft-top convertible, a 4-door hatchback (called a Sportback), and high-performance S5/RS 5 variants. Three trims within each A5 grouping are Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige. Only the high-performance RS 5 is omitted from this strategy, offering only one well-equipped trim.

Every A5 model comes standard with quattro all-wheel drive (AWD), giving it a leg up on competitors like the BMW 4 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and Lexus IS.

While trim levels across the models remain largely the same, engine options differ widely. The A5 Sportback has a 201-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter engine (40 TFSI), while the A5 Coupe and Cabriolet get a 261-hp version of the same engine (45 TFSI) along with Audi’s S line appearance package. Buyers can upgrade the Sportback with the larger engine.

The S5 follows the A5 trim grades and Coupe/Cabriolet/Sportback body styles but comes with a more powerful 349-hp turbocharged V6.

The RS 5 comes in only one body style and trim powered by a 444-hp 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6.

What’s New:

For 2024, Audi adds adaptive cruise control, lane-centering, front and rear parking sensors, a heated steering wheel, and, except for the Sportback 40, remote start via the MyAudi app.

The A5’s available navigation system upgrades to include traffic sign recognition and predictive adaptive cruise control. Navigation-equipped cars also come with a 6-month trial subscription to Audi Connect Plus.

Our Recommendation:

For most drivers, the mid-range Premium Plus trim is the best balance of luxury and value in the Audi A5 lineup.
