Declaring war on the Windsor knot.
From the first rev, it’s unmistakable—this is open-collared driving for those who think standing out is better than blending in. The substance is there, of course, with an intense combination of available powertrains, including the controlled power distribution of Audi quattro® all-wheel drive, an eight-speed Tiptronic® or a six-speed manual transmission that helps deliver dynamic handling and response, and FSI® and TFSI® engines that provide punch with surprising efficiency.1 But this isn’t a static blueprint, this is a driver’s car. Coupe or Cabriolet, both the A5 and S5 were engineered by, and for, those who prefer experience to formality. Take the wheel. Leave the tie.

When even commuter cars are trying to look like something more than a box on wheels, the A5 takes a slightly different approach to style. Think of it as the difference between a marketing gimmick and designed sophistication. Our style isn’t simply to provoke, but to articulate a confident vision. In either Coupe or Cabriolet body styles, the A5 has the capacity to charm as well as energize. From its driver-centric cabin to the signature flow of its roofline, the A5 is an uncompromised expression of pure style.
LED Daytime Running Light Technology |
Stylish and iconic, available LED daytime running lights enhance the unmistakable look and design of the Audi A5, as well as its visibility to other drivers, especially during the dawn and dusk hours. |

Sometimes it’s as much about SPF as RPM.
When dynamic curves are designed expressly for the interplay of light and shadow across the cabin when the top is down, you know you are in a visionary kind of cabriolet. That’s if you want to notice. Otherwise, you can enjoy the more direct pleasures of a top-performing cabriolet—potent acceleration, poised handling and smiling with abandon, wondering how you ever drove without sunscreen.

The top of the Audi A5 and S5 Cabriolet invites you to take advantage of clear skies for as long as the sun is out. If clouds do come, it takes approximately 17 seconds for drivers to fully deploy its roof (even at speeds up to 31 mph), so you can practically beat the first drop you see.

This is where you picture yourself behind the wheel.
If the cockpit feels like home, it’s because it was designed that way. Built-in comforts like simple, intuitive controls help you streamline your driving experience, while the available Audi MMI® Navigation plus with voice control system helps bring convenience and innovation to the instrument panel.1 By the time you reach out and touch the wraparound curve of the instrument panel or interact with the controls on the steering wheel, you’ll see how seamlessly you and this driver-centric layout fit together.

.03 – Audi Singleframe® Grille
Emulating the iconic front grille that’s become a part of the Audi legacy, this steering wheel centerpiece, emblazoned by its four-ring hallmark, presents itself as the fulcrum of the well-appointed A5 interior.

Where luxury makes itself felt. Caressed, even.
Classic Audi fit, finish and materials add more than a little sophistication to an impressive, athletic profile. Rich inlays like Burnished Wood and Cinnamon Brown Milano leather seating surfaces add a visual warmth to the cabin, or you can go bold with available color leather seating surfaces and Brushed Aluminum inlays. Either way, with thoughtful appointments like standard power front seats, automatic climate control, and available heated front seats, comfort takes center stage.
.04 – Ventilated and Heated Seats
Available on Cabriolet models, the head-level heating system offers luxurious and therapeutic temperature control, allowing both driver and passenger to enjoy the splendor of a convertible, even in cooler climates.
