The new Audi A5 has legitimate mass appeal. Whether you are old, young or middle-aged, you will immediately fall in love with this vehicle after you get behind the wheel. If there is a target demographic for this convertible, it is the mature auto enthusiasts looking for power, speed, luxury, and fun. In short, this is a driver's car as opposed to a family vehicle. The A5’s turbocharged 2.0-liter engine features a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that is sure to please gearheads as well as those in search of an on-road adrenaline rush.
Even if power isn’t your thing, you will adore the new A5 if you are in the market for a luxury vehicle. The vehicle is laden with upscale materials that look just as good as they feel. Though this vehicle is speedy and powerful, it fared well in crash testing thanks to its emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and active lane control safety features. Tech enthusiasts rave about the vehicle’s digital instrument cluster and innovative safety features.
Drive and Handling
If you are like most people, you understand driving and handling matters more than anything else when it comes to the driving experience. Pop the A5’s hood and you will find a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 2.0 liters and 248 horsepower. That power is sent to all four wheels thanks to the remarkable quattro® all-wheel drive system and the A5 Sportback is capable of blasting from 0 to 60 mph in 6 seconds. Audi drive select allows you to choose from four driving modes to tailor the response of this sportback to your driving needs. Driving modes include Normal, Comfort and Dynamic. The Dynamic mode is tightened up that much more thanks to the A5's variable steering ratio.
Key Features
Safety
When it comes to safety, the 2020 A5 stands out from the rest. This vehicle has performed well in both federal and independent crash tests. The new A5 is designed to brake on its own thanks to the standard automatic emergency braking. This way, if a hazard lies ahead or seemingly pops out of nowhere, the A5 will come to an abrupt stop, keeping you and your loved ones out of harm’s way. The available parking system plus helps you park by detecting when you’re too close to another vehicle or object. Audi side assist is available to help keep an eye on your blind spots and when reversing, to help mitigate risks when your visibility is its lowest. Audi adaptive cruise control reduces driving fatigue in heavy traffic as this optional feature can come to a stop in traffic when needed.
Technology
If tech is your thing, you will be ecstatic with the A5’s litany of high-tech features. This luxury model’s 10.1-inch touchscreen is intuitive in every sense of the word. Even if you are not a tech enthusiast, you will find the touchscreen’s user experience design is easy to use. The bulky control knob used on the previous edition of the A5 has been replaced with comparably diminutive and intuitive controls every driver is sure to appreciate. For audiophiles, the available Bang and Olufsen sound system with 3D sound features 20 speakers and a 16-channel 750-watt amplifier that produces sound rivaling professional equipment.
