“A ton of fun to drive and looks amazing inside and out. Keep in mind that sock tires are not rated for driving in sub 32 degree Temps if you're purchasing in the summer. Would also recommend the ceramic coat.”
2022 Audi RS 5: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2022 Audi RS 5
2nd generation RS 5, second year after the 2021 refresh.
Audi positions the RS 5 as a high-performance all-rounder rather than a stripped-down track toy. Its appeal is the mix of strong twin-turbo V6 power, quattro all-wheel-drive grip, upscale cabin materials, and everyday usability. In this family, the Coupe brings the sleeker shape, while the Sportback adds hatchback practicality, but the core idea is the same: serious speed with a polished, easy-to-live-with character.
The 2022 RS 5 is a fast but usable performance car sold as a two-door Coupe and four-door Sportback. Both have a 444-hp twin-turbo V6, quattro all-wheel drive, an RS sport suspension, and a 10.1-inch touchscreen. Premium touches include massaging heated front sport seats and a Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system.
