The high-performance SR 5 comes in a single trim level comparable to the Prestige, priced at $77,245.

The A5, S5, and RS 5 are available in two-door Coupe form, which costs about the same as the Sportback. The A5 and S5 also come in a Cabriolet (convertible) body style, starting at $52,845 and $65,045, respectively.

The A5 Sportback comes standard with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine. A high-output version is available on the Sportback for $2,100 and is standard on the Coupe and Cabriolet. Every S5 carries a turbocharged V6, and the RS 5 gets a high-output version of the same engine.

The four-cylinders are paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission, while the V6 engines use an eight-speed automatic. Audi's Quattro all-wheel-drive system is standard on all models

The Sportback can accommodate five passengers, while the Coupe and Cabriolet carry four.
