2024 Audi A5 Changes
There are no mechanical changes for 2024, though every A5 now comes with a heated steering wheel including hands-on detection, adaptive cruise control, parking sensors and active lane assistance. The range comprises hatchback, coupe and convertible variants, with the high-performance S and RS models effectively separate ranges.
Choosing Your 2024 Audi A5
Audi has avoided the labyrinth of configurations offered by other manufacturers. You can have your A5 in one of three body styles – four-door hatchback, two-door coupe and convertible versions. Each is fitted with a seven-speed automatic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive powertrain, while Sportback buyers get to choose between one of two gas engines. The more powerful of these two-liter powerplants is standard in coupe and convertible A5s.
There are three trim levels on every A5, as there are in most Audi model ranges. Prices for the A5 start at $46,595 (all prices include destination) for a 40 Premium Sportback, rising to $65,095 for a Prestige cabriolet.
2024 Audi A5 Engine Options
The 2024 Audi A5 engine range starts with the 40 model – a two-liter turbocharged gas unit producing 201 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque, via the same seven-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive system fitted to bigger 45 models. Despite using an identically sized engine, performance is elevated to 261 hp and 273 lb-ft. This engine is an option in Sportback models, but it’s standard in the coupe and cabriolet.
Engine Type | Horsepower | Torque |
40 TFSI | 201 hp | 236 lb-ft |
45 TFSI | 261 hp | 273 lb-ft |
2024 Audi A5 Fuel Economy
2024 Audi A5 fuel economy stands at an EPA-estimated 26 miles per gallon city, 35 mpg highway, and 30 combined in the less powerful Sportback models. Gas mileage for other 2024 A5s hasn’t been confirmed yet, but 2023 data saw figures of 24/32/27 mpg in the 45-powered coupe, and 24/31/26 in the less aerodynamic cabriolet.
2024 Audi A5 Towing Capacity
The A5 is not intended as a towing vehicle, and Audi doesn’t quote towing capacities for this model.
2024 Audi A5 Dimensions & Cargo Capacity
2024 Audi A5 dimensions extend to 187 inches externally, with 35 inches of rear legroom and three rear seatbelts in Sportback models. The coupe and cabriolet are strictly four-seaters, serving up 32.7 and 33.1 inches of rear legroom respectively.
2024 Audi A5 cargo space stands at 21.8 cu ft in Sportback models, dwindling to 10.9 and 8.8 cu ft in the coupe and cabrio respectively.
2024 Audi A5 Safety
The A5 is a well-protected vehicle, from its pre-collision preparations to its adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking. The outside mirrors are heated and power-adjustable, LED exterior lighting ensures you’re seen at all times, and the rear-view mirror automatically dims.
Active lane assistance and parking sensors are fitted to every model, but Premium Plus is the first to receive a surround-view camera system and only Prestige buyers benefit from a head-up display. Disappointingly, rear side airbags are a $350 option across the range.
2024 Audi A5 Technology
The A5 doesn’t offer the last word in connectivity, but every model has wireless smartphone mirroring, a decent sound system, and a seven-inch color display between its analog dials, complementing a 10.1-inch central touchscreen. Premium Plus benefits from Audi’s virtual cockpit, but only Prestige models come with navigation or a head-up display.
2024 Audi A5 Trims & Prices
2024 Audi A5 Premium – MSRP from $46,595
Build & Price >The most affordable A5 rides on the same 18-inch wheels as other models, benefiting from the same dynamic suspension and LED lighting. A power tailgate and panoramic sunroof bookend a cabin cooled by three-zone climate with a digital rear display. Other notable features include heated leather front seats facing walnut inlays, keyless start/stop, and LED lighting everywhere from the door handles to the footwells.
The $1,400 Convenience package combines keyless entry and memory for the driver’s seat with auto-dimming memory outside mirrors and an alarm.
2024 Audi A5 Premium Plus – MSRP from $50,795
Build & Price >Premium Plus models are the first to receive leatherette finishings across the doors and center console, and the first to benefit from a safety-boosting top-view camera system. A Bang & Olufsen sound system offers 3D output, there’s a wireless smartphone charging pad, and Audi’s celebrated virtual cockpit makes its debut.
It’s possible to add navigation as a standalone package for $1,500 or pay $1,300 for sports front seats with ventilation and four-way power lumbar adjustment.
2024 Audi A5 Prestige – MSRP from $56,095
Build & Price >Only an Audi geek would spot Prestige models’ laser headlights with animations replicated in its taillights, or dual-pane acoustic side window glass. More obvious upgrades include navigation and a head-up display, while this is the first A5 to offer ventilated front seats or parking assistance.
There are no packages on this model.
Technology lovers will welcome the additional upgrades on Premium Plus A5s, especially if navigation is added. The Sportback can accommodate more people (and far more cargo) than the coupe and cabrio models, and it’s better value as well.
