Engine Performance of Audi RS5

The Audi RS 5 Second Generation has a stylish exterior and a 2.9-liter V6 TFSI engine with twin turbochargers.

Exterior of Audi RS5

The Audi RS 5 Coupe took inspiration from the very special and famous four-door Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO. The car had a wide opening from the front side, a noticeable wheel area, and a wide, low shape. The design elements may give nostalgia about the history of motorsport.

Matrix LED Lights

The Audi RS 5 is equipped with Matrix LED headlights that are similar to natural daylight. When the matrix light senses other vehicles or bright lights, these Matrix LED headlights adjust brightness by dimming certain LED lights to avoid blinding other drivers. However, they continue to illuminate the road ahead fully. In some cases, Matrix LED technology can even use the car's navigation system to predict when you're approaching a turn and adjust the headlights accordingly.

Quattro with Sports Differential

The road conditions are always changing, considering this Audi-equipped RS5 with a Quattro system, a standard feature in the RS5 Coupe. This system automatically assesses the grip on sharp turns and in rainy weather. It then automatically sends power to the wheel that needs it most, ensuring maximum traction. The main function of this system is to handle the toughest everyday road conditions. Moreover, the Sport differential makes Quattro all-wheel drive even more impressive.

The Carbon Edition adds more than just a touch of sports car looks to the Audi RS5. Everything about this version exudes a dynamic performance car look, from a carbon roof and engine cover on the outside to Matt aluminum style details and carbon inlays within.

Fuel Economy

Automotive Journalist Review

The Audi RS 5 is larger, lighter, quicker, cleaner, and cleverer than its predecessor – observations underscored by the car's well-built, comfortable, practical interior and attractive exterior looks. (Autocar‘s Nic Cackett)

Conclusion

In general, the RS5 provides a relatively comfortable, but it doesn't handle as smoothly if compared with the competitors. If you are considering a car with good space, the Audi RS5 Sportback is better than the Coupe. Primarily, Audi offered three trim levels. The entry-level trim is RS5, Mid-Spec Carbon black has bigger alloys and different styling, and top-spec Vorsprung is equipped with matrix LED lights, lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, and adaptive sports suspension, including dynamic steering. Suppose you want to buy a car with the same budget. In that case, we recommend also checking other options because the 2021 car reliability survey reported Audi RS5 as 18th out of 30 automotive manufacturers and BMW ranked 13th. The regular sports suspension feels more stable than the adaptive setup in the top-of-the-line Vorsprung models.
