Audi A5 cars

What types of used Audi A5 cars are there?

An Audi A5 for sale (2007-present) follows the typical Audi reputation for offering a wide range of choices – it shows up in hatchback, coupé and convertible stylings that each have exciting trims to pick from.    

Each trim gets its own unique selection of features across the range and even the entry-level model is well equipped, but you’ll get the best of the equipment from the S Line upwards.

Other trims include the SE, Sport and range-topping Vorsprung.

What features does the Audi A5 have?

Each A5 model gets a variety of features depending on the trim level that you choose.   

The line typically starts at the entry-level A5 Sport, with the S Line being the middle trim and the Black Edition being the top of the range.    

Even the Sport model gets a whole load of features that will improve your driving experience, and there's the built-in MMI Navigation Plus system with MMI Touch and Audi Virtual Cockpit to keep you up to date with your car.   

Plus, you’ll enjoy cruise control with speed limiter, LED headlights and rear lights, and – everyone’s favourite – heated front seats.   

The A5 S Line model gets even more kit, including upgraded Audi Matrix LED headlights, additional S Line exterior styling, and privacy glass for a luxe feel.    

There’s also the option for smartphone mirroring with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. 

Practicality-wise, the A5 gets a boot that ranges from 380-465 litres depending on the model you choose and options for four or five seats, so there’s plenty of space to pack in everything and everyone you need. 

Is the Audi A5 reliable?

Being an Audi, the A5 is a very reliable car that shouldn’t raise any concerns, with tried-and-tested parts as well as some of the most bulletproof engines you can make, we’re confident it’ll remain the best it can be. 

It’s safe, too. Following its most recent Euro NCAP safety test in 2015, the A5 scored a full five stars, paying particular attention to adult and child protection. 

Every new Audi comes with a two-year warranty with unlimited mileage that can be transferred to subsequent owners.

If your used car is older than two years, then you can still benefit by adding cinchCare to your purchase for increased protection. 

How much does the Audi A5 cost to run?

The A5 is a brilliant option for a safe and stylish everyday cruiser that will put a smile on your face, but it also ticks boxes across the board for performance and efficiency.    

There’s a range of engines to choose from, including petrol and diesel offerings, so it will really depend on the one you pick as to what statistics you’re likely to hit.    

The 45 TFSI petrol engine is the one to choose if you’d like some punch when it comes to power – it brings a claimed 0-62mph of 5.2 seconds yet keeps the functional appeal that helps the A5 straddle the line between something really fun and something sensible and practical.   

We also like the sports suspension that you can grab with an S Line or Black Edition model, as it’ll help smooth out bumpy roads without feeling stiff, and the inner cabin is quiet.    

Who is the Audi A5 suitable for?

We’d recommend a used Audi A5 to those who appreciate the finer things in life but also enjoy spirited driving.  

Whether you opt for the entry-level SE or top-spec sporty RS5, you’re getting plenty of comfort and smooth engines.  

It closely rivals the BMW 4 Series and Lexus IS but offers that Audi flair you don’t get anywhere else.
