Performance
The Audi 2.0 TFSI®
The award-winning 2.0 TFSI engine provides 211 hp and 258 lb-ft. of torque and combines Audi valvelift system, variable valve timing and TFSI® direct injection for increased power and efficiency. The Audi 2.0 TFSI® has been the engine of choice for more than 1.3 million Audi drivers worldwide and is one of the most awarded engines of the last decade.
quattro® All-wheel Drive
Permanent all-wheel drive systems are not created equal. And they certainly don't perform that way, either. quattro® is essentially a mechanical system devised around a torque-sensing, self-locking, center differential that shifts torque instantaneously to where it's needed. This means quattro® is adjusting power between front and rear axles more than 100 times a second, helping ensure torque is delivered to the wheels where traction exists. Under normal driving situations, quattro® distributes the power between each axle by sending 40 percent to the front wheels and 60 percent to the rear wheels, enhancing the driving dynamics while helping maintain optimum control. Constantly assessing grip, quattro® ensures the best possible combination of traction and handling, regardless of the road conditions.
FSI® Direct Injection
Audi Fuel Stratified Injection, or FSI®, offers the benefits of increased performance and fuel efficiency. FSI direct injection delivers a precise amount of fuel directly into the engine cylinders as opposed to the engine intake runners. This advanced process helps ensure a more complete combustion, thereby diminishing waste and increasing power.
Additionally, the specially designed piston heads compress the fuel-air mixture in a spiraling motion, creating the most efficient combustion possible. Making the most of these technologies allows for greater efficiency in the combustion process.
Audi Valvelift System
Audi valvelift system helps elevate the performance characteristics of variable valve timing. The result is smooth power buildup, instantaneous throttle response and up to a 7 percent reduction in fuel consumption. Audi valvelift system intelligently varies the lift and duration of engine exhaust valves in response to engine load and power needs. Optimizing air management, Audi valvelift system helps create maximum torque across a broad range of RPM without sacrificing efficiency.
Exterior
Award-winning Design
The refined A5 connotes motion, even when at a standstill. Designed by Walter de'Silva, the A5 is a progressive coupe in every sense. It's award-winning design is elegance in motion with distinctive performance overtones. It's this combined effect that creates what he calls, "The most beautiful car I've ever designed."
LED Daytime Running Lights
The available signature LED daytime running lights not only add a distinct look to the vehicle, they also improve visibility while using half of the energy of conventional bulbs.
Sculpted Contours
The sculpted contours of the body reveal precise lines that define its visual hallmarks: two feature lines in the shape of a "V" uniting the A5 from the end of the hood to the bumper. Combined with dynamic curves, the body allows for the interplay of light and shadow, giving the A5 a pronounced dynamism.

Interior
Driver-oriented Cockpit
Angled slightly toward you, the driver-oriented cockpit with a hand-stitched, leather-wrapped steering wheel is the focal point, where technology and craftsmanship intersect. The stitching, the precise positioning of the spokes for your thumbs and even the thickness of the steering wheel itself create a feeling of total control.
Benchmark Fit and Finish
The interior of the A5 places you in the middle of thousands of exquisite details, all designed to create a one-of-a-kind driving experience. Premium materials like Dark Brown Walnut wood or Aluminum inlays are honed to a maximum tolerance of just 0.2 mm. The Genuine Milano leather undergoes no less than 45 tests to determine durability and comfort. Even the color of the leather, dash and inlays are precisely matched, compensating for variations in texture and reflectivity. Together, they create an interior unmatched in its class.
Three-spoke Sport Steering Wheel
The leather-wrapped, three-spoke design steering wheel has a sporty look and feel. The multifunction steering wheel provides easy access to Bluetooth®-enabled phone, audio volume, CD track, seek functions and voice control.
Tilting Glass Panorama Sunroof
The sunroof provides passengers with a light-filled driving experience.

Technology
Five-link Front Suspension
With the finely tuned front-suspension components secured to the subframe, the five-link front suspension increases ride quality by isolating road harshness and vibration from the cabin. The use of weight-saving aluminum for critical components helps reduce unsprung mass at each wheel, allowing the suspension to respond more rapidly. The net effect is a driving experience that is extremely responsive, smooth and predictable. It is handling that has become an Audi hallmark.
Audi drive select
With 27 available vehicle handling and performance combinations, Audi drive select is another example of Audi progressive technology. Whether you prefer the smooth, luxurious ride of Comfort mode or the more direct and firmer responses of Dynamic mode, Audi drive select allows you to tailor the vehicle to your liking.
Beginning with three preset vehicle configurations, Audi drive select manages the adaptive suspension, dynamic steering, transmission shift characteristics and throttle response according to the selected mode: Comfort, Automatic or Dynamic. Adding to the versatility of Audi drive select, the Individual mode manages 27 personalized variations, essentially allowing the driver to configure the vehicle driving dynamics according to his or her precise preferences.

Constantly assessing grip, quattro® ensures the best possible combination of traction and handling, regardless of the road conditions.
Responsive Servotronic® Steering
Servotronic® is speed-dependent power steering in which the amount of power assist provided is dictated by road speed, providing even more comfort and convenience for the driver. The amount of power assist is greatest at low speeds, making it easier to maneuver the car. At higher speeds, an electronic-sensing system gradually reduces the level of power assist, creating a tighter, more dynamic steering feel.
To further enhance handling and ride comfort, significant attention to detail has been paid to suppressing vibrations at the attachment points along the steering column. The result is a nearly 100 percent reduction in steering wheel vibration, offering the driver smoothness at virtually any speed.

Safety
ESC
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps keep the vehicle traveling in its intended direction by utilizing ABS, the traction control of ASR and the electronic brake force distribution of EBD. Specifically, when ESC detects loss of traction, it automatically adjusts the throttle and applies the brakes to help "steer" the vehicle where you intend to go. Braking is automatically applied to each wheel: at the outer front wheel to mitigate oversteer, or the inner rear wheel to mitigate understeer.
Innovative Braking System
Audi has implemented a number of ingenious features to help maximize braking effectiveness. In wet conditions, the brake disc wiping system gently pulses the brakes to help dissipate water buildup. Keeping the discs as dry as possible helps promote the most effective braking. Additionally, the brake assist system is able to detect an attempt at full braking and apply full stopping power when required. The advantage is that braking distance is significantly reduced.
Six Standard Airbags
The six standard, second-generation airbags provide an additional measure of safety. They include front-impact airbags for the driver and passenger and are designed to help protect the head. Seat-mounted, side-impact airbags for the front seat occupants are designed to help protect the thorax in a collision. And the side-curtain airbags offer front and rear occupants head protection in the event of a side collision or rollover.
Audi side assist
Active at speeds over 19 MPH, available Audi side assist monitors blind spots and fast-approaching vehicles at a range of 150 ft. When a vehicle is present within the monitored area, the system warns you via LED lights in the exterior mirrors.
