About the 2024 Audi A5

2nd generation A5 family (F5, introduced for 2018 in the U.S.); 2024 is a late-cycle year after the 2020 refresh and the last full U.S. model year offering the coupe, cabriolet, and Sportback together.

Audi positions the A5 as the more style-forward choice in its compact luxury range: a sleek premium car that blends a richer design than the A4 with everyday usability. Its core appeal is standard quattro all-wheel drive, a polished interior, strong turbo power, and multiple personalities in one family—coupe, cabriolet, or Sportback practicality. Against rivals like the BMW 4 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the A5’s big differentiators are all-weather confidence, a high-quality cabin, and a balanced ride that feels sporty without giving up daily comfort.

The 2024 A5 lineup spans the coupe, convertible, and four-door Sportback, with standard all-wheel drive and a turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Premium focuses on the essentials, while Premium Plus adds everyday upgrades such as digital gauges, premium audio, and a surround-view camera. Prestige is the technology-focused version, with upgraded headlights, navigation, a head-up display, and automated parking.

“I like most features about the Audi A5. Something simple like an actual license plate frame/location on the front of the vehicle is missing. We had to drill into the grill to attach the front license plate. Also, you cannot start the vehicle remotely with the key fob.”
