2025 Audi S5: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2025 Audi S5 is fully redesigned on Audi’s new PPC platform. The headline change is its shift into a four-door hatchback-style sport sedan that also takes over the former S4’s place in Audi’s US gas-powered lineup.
About the 2025 Audi S5
3rd generation (B10/PPC), first year of the redesign.
The 2025 Audi S5 is Audi’s fast everyday luxury sport sedan with extra cargo flexibility. Audi sells it as a car that blends serious V6 performance and all-wheel-drive grip with a modern digital cabin, upscale materials, and real daily usability. Its biggest difference from many rivals is that it aims to feel athletic without becoming stripped-down or impractical, so it works as both a spirited driver’s car and a comfortable all-season daily commuter.
Every 2025 S5 pairs a 362-hp turbocharged V6 with all-wheel drive, a rear sport differential, and a new curved-screen cabin. Premium Plus adds daily-use upgrades such as a head-up display, surround-view cameras, upgraded audio, and adaptive cruise control with lane centering. Prestige brings a front-passenger display, ventilated and massaging front seats, adaptive suspension, and a panoramic glass roof with adjustable light control.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
A new 362-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 powers every S5. A 7-speed dual-clutch automatic replaces the previous conventional automatic, while quattro all-wheel drive remains standard.
Styling
The US S5 lineup moves to a four-door hatchback-style sedan body. The prior coupe and convertible path is dropped as the S5 takes over the old S4’s sport-sedan role.
Tech
The cabin is redesigned around an 11.9-inch driver display and a 14.5-inch center touchscreen. Navigation becomes standard on Premium Plus, while Prestige adds a 10.9-inch front-passenger display.
Structural
The S5 moves to Audi’s new PPC vehicle platform, marking the start of its third generation.
