help Audi S5 FAQ
Is the Audi S5 a mid-engine sports car?
No, the S5 uses a front-engine layout with Audi's quattro all-wheel-drive system. It is a performance grand tourer derived from the A5 rather than a mid-engine model like the Audi R8.
Which engine is in the B9-generation Audi S5?
Many B9 S5 models use a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 gasoline engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Some European-market later models instead received a 3.0-liter V6 diesel, so market and model year matter.
Was the Audi S5 only produced from 2014 to 2020?
No, the S5 nameplate began with the first-generation A5 family in the late 2000s and continued beyond 2020. It has appeared in Coupe, Sportback, and Cabriolet body styles, depending on generation and market.
How is the Audi S5 different from the RS5?
The S5 sits between the regular A5 and the more aggressive RS5 in Audi Sport's hierarchy. The RS5 typically adds more power, wider bodywork, stronger brakes, and more track-oriented tuning, while the S5 emphasizes everyday grand-touring comfort.
