“We have now had 2 Audis and they both have been excellent vehicles. We were a different brand of car company before but those cars have made us change our mind and we will probably always have an Audi going forward.”
2024 Audi RS 5: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The main change for the 2024 Audi RS 5 is a broader set of standard driver-assistance and comfort features. It is not a redesign, and its 444-hp twin-turbo V6 carries over unchanged.
About the 2024 Audi RS 5
2nd generation RS 5, facelifted B9.5 generation. In the US, 2024 is the final coupe year and a late-cycle year for the Sportback.
The RS 5 is Audi’s compact luxury performance car for shoppers who want serious speed without giving up everyday comfort. In coupe form it leans more dramatic and personal; in Sportback form it adds real hatchback utility. Either way, the formula is the same: a strong twin-turbo V6, standard all-wheel drive, a polished cabin, and enough ride comfort and tech to work as a daily driver instead of a weekend-only toy.
The 2024 RS 5 is a fast, premium coupe or four-door Sportback with everyday comfort, standard all-wheel drive, and a 444-hp twin-turbo V6. Its cabin pairs a 10.1-inch touchscreen and 12.3-inch digital instrument display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system, and heated sport seats with massage.

“If you want an everyday vehicle that handles and performs like a race car then the RS 5 is it. Be aware that gas mileage is not great and roominess is somewhat lacking but for two people wanting comfort and a fun driving experience this car will surpass your expectations.”
