“It is worth the experience I feel everyday I step into the car from starting the engine to taking it out for a drive no matter what the occasion. The feeling I get knowing it's mine, I own it, it matches my personality, as well as the quality, design, safety, and brand name behind it.”
2025 Audi RS 5: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2025 Audi RS 5 is the end of the two-door coupe in the U.S., leaving the four-door Sportback as the only version. Otherwise, this final year of the generation is largely a carryover.
About the 2025 Audi RS 5
2nd RS 5 generation, final U.S. model year for the F5/B9-era RS 5 Sportback
Audi positions the RS 5 as an Audi Sport car you can use every day: the most serious performance version of the A5 family, but wrapped in a four-door liftback body that still handles passengers and cargo better than a typical sport coupe. Its core appeal is the mix of strong V6 power, quattro traction, confident chassis tuning, and a polished cabin, giving shoppers a fast daily driver instead of a stripped-down weekend-only machine.
Audi positions the 2025 RS 5 Sportback as the performance-focused A5 that remains practical for daily use, with four doors, a liftback, a usable rear seat, and 21.8 cubic feet of cargo room behind it. Its signature hardware includes a 444-hp twin-turbo V6, an eight-speed automatic, quattro all-wheel drive, a sport rear differential, and a 10.1-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
