Reﬂecting on what matters most to us.

In so many ways, it’s really all connected. How an Audi vehicle is engineered and designed isn’t simply a matter of physics or architecture, it’s a systematic compilation of disparate disciplines and ideas, forged into something iconic, sophisticated and powerful. What you feel behind the wheel is, in so many ways, a product of the knowledge and imagination of human history. The principles of Newtonian laws, sure — but also the grace of choreography, time-honored artisanal craftsmanship and the connectivity of modern life. The end result of these inspirations is your Audi — a thing meaningful, intuitive and strong. We employ the sum of our skills and understanding to reﬂect something that goes deeper than our machines.

The rewards of being a risk taker.

Nothing captures the imagination like an automobile that turns heads. A statement that is even more impactful when you consider that every double-take the Audi A5 gets is a testament to the adventurous spirit and bold sensibilities of both Audi designers and drivers alike. It’s why there is such a strong response to the sophisticated lines that sweep across the A5, as well as to the seductive punch of its acceleration. Everything we build into the A5, even the way we hide the B-pillar, is meant to give it a sense of movement, even when it is standing still. Heads turn because we pay attention to every detail, from the precision handling to the striking headlights with LED daytime running lights, which seem to stare back at attentive onlookers. Available in Coupe and Cabriolet, there is an A5, and an exhilarating Audi S5, crafted to provoke emotion, and maybe even a little envy, in every person who looks as you drive by.

A5 S5

A dual threat in inspiring performance and passionate design,

the A5 and S5 combine dynamic handling and muscular styling

to elevate your driving experience.

The irrepressible actuality of light.

↘

Light is a wave and an energy. It’s also a feeling. And an inspiration. Light is a physical manifestation and a spiritual metaphor. For Audi designers, light represents the soul of automotiv e design. We use it to give lines context, add a shimmering allure, or give shapes a visual texture or depth. In the sun or on a city street, the vehicle becomes luminescent, a seductive, ever-shifting conﬁguration of energy itself, expressed in the brilliance of each design line.

A moving performance, even at a standstill.

It may be, as has been suggested, that the Audi A5 creates an irresistible pull. Then again, magnetic design is like that. Of course, we know what draws people in. The unmistakable look, to start, but the power too. LED daytime running lights introduce inviting illumination, and the tapered Singleframe® grille adds a bold sense of daring and an iconic look to the front fascia. But one gathers the possibility of more, such as the power distributed by the impressive 2.0-liter turbocharged TFSI® engine and optimized by the quattro® all-wheel drive system. The details tell the story — sharpened design lines streamline the body, continually pushing the envelope of style while embracing the spirit of our Audi Sport® heritage. In short, the more we tried to thrill onlookers, the greater thrill we experienced ourselves.

Everywhere you look, the Audi A5 inspires with memorable design and impressive features. It starts with the bold design lines that run from the corner of the headlights to the rear of the vehicle, and ﬁnishes with details like an artfully integrated rear spoiler and distinctive LED lighting. It’s a tribute to everything Audi design stands for.

Integrated re ar spoiler

An example of thoughtful integration, the integrated rear spoiler adds to the vehicle’s visual appeal while delivering a true performance beneﬁt. At higher speeds, it provides additional downforce, helping to enhance the performance of the A5.

Xenon plus headlights

Producing a large light arc with a color similar to daylight’s, xenon plus headlights not only help with the early recognition of obstacles in front of the vehicle, but also add a touch of brilliance to any nighttime excursion.

The intuitive layout of the cockpit is plain

to see, with every dial and switch within

easy reach.

A bold tribute to maximum control.

Thanks to an interior design that puts as much emphasis on functionality as it does on form, every control you need is right at your ﬁngertips, intuitively placed to help establish an ease of operation while you navigate any commute. Our driver-centric cockpit is more than just a design imperative, it is our way to help ensure that you’re navigating the vehicle’s technology with the same precision that our vehicles perform with on the road.

Three-spoke multifunction steering wheel

Get ready to own the road with the three-spoke multifunction steering wheel. It features available shift paddles for a truly engaging driving experience and oers a way to access your MMI® system while keeping both hands on the wheel.

Decorative interior inlays

With aluminum inlays or your choice of available beautiful wood or Piano Black inlays, you will ﬁnd unparalleled craftsmanship and attention to design throughout the interior. We use only the ﬁnest materials inside the cabin to accentuate luxury and sport.

Our obsession with design goes beyond sheet metal.

The ﬁnest materials pepper the interior of every Audi A5. There may be more modest ways to design a vehicle’s interior, but ours are intended to stimulate more than just your sight. You’ll see, feel and smell the distinctive elements inside the A5. Whether it’s the ﬁnely stitched leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel in your hands, or the scent of our ﬁnely crafted leathers that greets you when you climb into the cockpit, you’ll ﬁnd exactly what you’ve come to expect from Audi: sleek, ﬂuid and substantively composed interiors that solidify the connection between you and your vehicle.

Split folding rear seatbacks

With 12.2 cu ft of cargo space in the A5 Coupe and 10.2 cu ft of cargo space in the A5 Cabriolet with the rear seatbacks in the up position, the A5 is a capable carrier. The Cabriolet has split folding 50/50 rear seatbacks, and the Coupe features a pass-through in the split folding 60/40 rear seatbacks. It’s proof that a sports car can still be versatile.

Panoramic sunroof

Another enhancement to your drive in the A5 Coupe is the standard panoramic sunroof with tilt functionality. A nearly unimpeded view of the sky gives the feeling of inﬁnite head room. If you don’t want to fully engage with the environment, the retractable shade feature is there too. So let the sun drench the interior of your A5 as you enjoy a carefree driving experience.

Three-zone automatic climate control

Here’s a comforting thought— personal attention has been taken to new heights in the A5. With three-zone automatic climate control, almost every person in the vehicle has the ability to dial in their ideal temperature, giving you and your passengers the climate you want regardless of what the weather is like outside.

Front sport seats

The available front sport seats feature bolsters in all the right places, including the upper shoulder, sides and seat base, and have extendable thigh supports. These front sport seats help provide aproperseatingpositionandhelpholdyou comfortablyinplaceinboththebendsandthe straightaways.

Being open to possibilities has its perks.

It’s style that includes stars, but has nothing to do with Hollywood. It’s outside, but not obsessed with waterproof hiking boots. It’s the world seen and felt with the top down in your Audi A5 Cabriolet. Day or night, with wind gliding past you, discover a thrilling connection to your environment — while still being plugged into signature automobile technology. You can even stretch your top-down driving season with an available head-level heating system that helps ensure your comfort even when the temperature doesn’t match your mood. The A5 Cabriolet takes design, precision and a retractable roof to turn the outside into something that’s very much in.

Retractable acoustic folding soft top

The top of the A5 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 the top to fully deploy (even at speeds up to 31 mph). When the top is up, it also provides a great acoustic environment designed with both sound-deadening and insulation properties.

With clean lines and more than enough

presence, the A5 Cabriolet encourages

you to own the road, rain or shine.

Experience a plush refuge in almost any climate.

We’ve got you covered, even with the top down. The available perforated Milano leather ventilated and heated front comfort seats create a tranquil commute no matter what the weather brings. From heat-reducing pigments in the leather to an aerodynamic windblocker that helps the air ﬂow by when you open up the drive, we’ve thought of nearly everything to help ensure your comfort. Just in case you’ve forgotten your sunscreen, you can easily bring the roof back up, further proof that you hold a wide range of power.

Ventilatedandheatedfrontseats

Some added comforts for the top-down drive along the coast are the available heated and ventilated front comfort seats. You can get a little extra touch of warmth from the available head-level heating system vents that blow warm air directly onto your neck and shoulders.

Thermocool™

The leather seating surfaces of our Audi A5 Cabriolet front seats are designed with special Thermocool™ heat-reducing pigments that, even in direct sunlight, help reduce surface temperatures where it is needed, compared to untreated leathers. It’s just another way we prove our commitment to your comfort.
