2014 Audi A5: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The most important change for the 2014 Audi A5 is that its turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine rises to 220 horsepower. This is otherwise a light update, with more standard convenience equipment and a few trim-level upgrades.
About the 2014 Audi A5
1st generation A5 (8T), facelifted 2013-2016 version; 2014 is the second model year after the 2013 refresh.
Audi sold the A5 as a sleek luxury two-door for buyers who wanted something more emotional than a sedan without giving up everyday comfort. Its pitch was handsome coupe or convertible styling, a high-quality cabin, solid road manners, and strong all-weather confidence on quattro versions. Compared with rivals, the A5 leaned more toward polished grand-touring comfort and understated design than all-out performance, especially in the standard 2.0T form.
The 2014 A5 came as a coupe or convertible, with Premium serving as the straightforward entry trim with leather seats, three-zone climate control, and Bluetooth phone connectivity. Premium Plus adds xenon headlights, heated front seats, and keyless entry and start, while Prestige brings navigation, Bang & Olufsen audio, blind-spot monitoring, a rearview camera, and sport-styled S line exterior trim.

2014 Audi A5 Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2014 Audi A5.
4.2
2014 Audi A5
(28 reviews)
“The only thing I do not like is the location of the controls for the lowering or windows and the convertible top. They are in a position on the middle console that allows for accidental roll down of windows. I am aware that the top will not engage at speeds over 40 mph, but the windows go down at any speed.”
“I am having trouble with acceleration in my new car and it has been troubling to me.”
