Model Preview
The Audi S5 lineup underwent a full redesign in 2018 and then received a significant refresh in 2020 that updated the exterior design and brought in the new MIC 3 infotainment system. With this refresh still fairly recent, the S5's design remains mostly unchanged, but Audi will shuffle its standard features and packages.
The 2024 Audi S5 will continue with the same design it's had since its last refresh in 2020. Like most Audi models, the S5's design focuses on subtle cues that allow it to age gracefully, but it still has plenty of muscular body lines to set it apart from the crowd. The 2024 S5 will also continue with three body styles: coupe, cabriolet, and the cargo-friendly Sportback. While the design remains the same, the S5 does replace the Tango Red metallic and Ibis White exterior paints with Progressive Red metallic and Arkona White.
Inside, the 2024 S5 will continue with the same stunning yet toned-down interior design that boasts loads of upscale materials, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and a user-friendly infotainment system. The S5 does have one slight update inside for the 2024 model year, and that's a standard heated steering wheel with hands-on detection. On the technology side, the Navigation package adds traffic-sign recognition, which works with the S5's Predictive adaptive cruise control.
Under its hood, the S5 continues with the same 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 that ships 349 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels via an eight-speed Tiptronic transmission and Quattro all-wheel drive. This amounts to a 4.4-second 0-to-60 time and a 155 mph top speed.
As for safety, the IIHS has not tested the S5, but it has tested its lower-powered sibling, the A5. Both the coupe and Sportback version of the 2023 A5 received Top Safety Pick+ honors thanks to "Good" crash test scores and "Superior"-rated automatic emergency braking systems. Keep in mind, though, that the IIHS has updated some of its tests, and the A5 has not been through these new crash tests yet. Many vehicles received lower ratings in these more stringent tests, which may reflect on the 2024 A5. Stay tuned for official crash test results and ratings.
While on the topic of safety, Audi has updated some of the 2024 S5's safety and driver assist features. It now comes standard with adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and Parking System Plus.
