Last updated 1 year ago

The Audi A5 enters the 2012 model year with many updated features and the same quality and attention to detail drivers have come to expect from the brand. The award-winning design continues to drive Audi’s image forward and capture the hearts and minds of driving enthusiasts.

Performance

The epitome of high-end automotive engineering, the powerplant of the A5 truly delivers. When paired with Audi’s manual transmission, the 2.0L direct injection turbocharged engine returns 21 mpg in the city and 31 on the highway. This capable engine produces 211 horsepower with 258 lb-ft of torque, making it a vastly capable, yet smartly efficient motivator. The optional eight-speed Tiptronic transmission adds paddle shifters to the steering wheel for a racing feel.

Appearance

Audi continues to push forward with its progressive exterior design. With a perfect blend of aggression and grace, The A5’s styling is sure to turn heads wherever it goes. With 10-spoke alloy wheels in a distinctive design and Audi’s signature LED headlights and taillights, the A5 is not to be mistaken for anything else on the road.

High-quality leather lines the interior of the Audi A5 at all trim levels. A tilting panoramic sunroof fills the interior with natural light, while optional multi-zone climate control keeps the driver and passengers comfortable. Available with the 2.0T Prestige trim, a 505-watt Bang & Olufsen sound system surrounds driver and passengers with 14 speakers for crisp, premium sound.

Intelligence

The Audi A5 offers optional Bluetooth connectivity, and a music interface for your iPod or iPhone. The innovative MMI operating system controls these features, as well as a navigation package and Sirius XM satellite radio. An advanced keyless entry system also offers remote start capabilities.

The Audi A5 is also equipped with Side Assist, which activates above 19 mph, alerting the driver to vehicles and obstructions in blind spots for increased safety. In keeping with the quality and standards of the Audi name, the A5 comes with a full compliment of safety features, including adaptive air bags, Electronic Stability Control and an anti-lock braking system with Electronic Break-pressure Distribution.
