In tuos video we'll take a deep dive into the Audi A5 Sportback Premium Plus and see how it compares to rivals.

I still think this A5 is still the best-looking sedan/sportback there is...! I loved this design so much I traded my A4 in for a 2023... Love the car...Handles great, plenty of gitty up, love it...
yoooo! I just traded in my 2018 A4 to get a 2024 A5!!! I love how we think alike ;)
Drove this as a rental car (A5 Sline 45tfsi) for 2000km both in german highways and italian older mountanous towns (really narrow roads) and it handle everything perfectly. Really good acceleration for 195kw, really good handleing and control and damn how hot it is. Maybe only negative (dont know if to call it that way) is the head room in the back, ,but my friends (who were ~185cm tall were able to be semi comfortable there. Planning to get it myself early next year.
how was the mpg?
Great review thank you. Mine is delivered tomorrow. 😊
Very good review. Like the way you structured it and provided meaningful comparisons.
Great review. Best looking car I’ve seen
Great review. I come from a 2014 S5, and was on the market for a "newer" Audi. Checked out the 2021 - 2023 A5's and some S5's. The A is a great place to be for the every day driver. More than enough power and looks. Boy does it look good. The interior is very nice and just an overall great experience. I chose a 2022 S5 because I wanted the little additions and well the more dynamic ride while still keeping it a great daily driver. Really is a great car from Audi.
Could you comment on A5 reliability? Personal experience please. Many negative reviews out there, stating that Audi is least reliable among Germans
@@sunshadow9704 All cars have issues over time and depends on how well you take care of them. I didnt have many issues that were big ticket until later on well after 100K. But I also had that with Acura and other cars. I would pay attention to "reviews" and overall comparisons, but they are only a small portion of the equation. I maintained and took care of my car as expected and really didnt go above or beyond and my experience was very good. I am sure you will see many others say the same. In my group I have seen less issues with Audi vs Merc or BMW, but i think that comes down to how you treat the car and what you do with it.
@@xLordJonxinteresting results I observed while visiting three random Audi dealers in NJ and NY.
During casual talk with salesman I asked what vehicle he/she drives personally.
In my not so scientific study, only 2 out of 12 respondents said audi.
It means something.
To make things more objective, I repeated same survey while visiting BMW dealers. Out of 10 , six drivers various models of BMW.
I am on the fence. I do like audi design and so simplicity of the interior but ….
@@sunshadow9704 Its all down to what you are looking for and how far you want to go. I have had quite a few brands and friends with many more.
I can only speak to my realm really and in the end ALL cars have ups and downs, some more than others. I personally have had little to no issues with my past 2 Audi's and with reliability and were no different thank my Acura for comparison. Others I know similar results.
Now, I cant speak to certain dealerships, but I have frequented two most of my time and from the people I have dealt with I would say 3 of the 5 usually have had some type of Audi. But just cause you work there doesn't mean you have to have the car.
This also goes down to the interpretation of the Brand based on marketing and "peoples" assumptions. All these brands are "similar" just depends on what you are looking for. BMW is seen more of a sporty brand for example while Audi tends to be more subtle and a great overall brand for luxury and performance. I went more towards Audi, because I have seen less and know of less issues with them compared to BMW or Mercs. That's just preference based on experience.
As with any car purchase, I would weigh the options based on what type of car you are looking for and for what in the end, then you can dig deeper into the models, engines and packages to get a better idea. If you are able to get objective based information and reviews thats the way to go.
@sunshadow9704 ok so he's the explanation: in Europe audis are more popular and bmws are also popular but trust me on this one man but the people who drive bmws are the worst not only at driving but also delusional and disgusting and got hit by a bmw driver not long ago anyway bmws also are of course known to be unreliable and parts costing a fortune to replace. I've been in alot of bmws and each one had very creaking and cheap quality interior and I've been in premium bmws and also m3 cs and m4 comp and they had very bad quality interior compared audis and mercedes. Also apart from bmw drivers being super super toxic and piles of shit and not knowing how to drive the car in the handling aspect is not good. I've driven the m3 and m4 on the nurburing and they have WAY too much oversteer and it was on semi slick tyres. So basically you want to go around a corner but you initiate a drift and spin out. I didn't spin out because I know what to do to stop it but it makes the car really dangerous. Also the xDrive 4wd system is not good at all. It is by far the worst 4wd/awd system there is. And when doing a drag race in an m3 on good sports tyres that were warm the cars tyres were spinning out at 180 km/h which if you don't know is very dangerous. Also when hitting the brakes really hard the car was VERY hard to control and I've never experienced that in any other car. Audi has the best awd system in the world (quattro) you can look at awd tests if you don't believe me. Every single audi engine is very tunable and reliable. I've owned many audis and only worked on them myself. Had a quite old audi rs5 with the v8 and it had about 250000 miles. Never had a engine problem and I done stage 3 tuning. Now I have a rs3 2024 stage 2 as my daily and I have a 2015 nissan gtr stage 3 so I have a good comparison to handling because the gtr is probably the best handling car in the world for its price and the rs3 feels soo nimble and good compared to nissan gtr because the gtr is stiffer but I also have racing coilovers and so on but I knew how it felt stock. Also the gtr has a extremely good awd system. I plan on getting a new rs6 soon. If you want a truly good car then get an audi. Oh yeah and the rs3 4 door is so good that it beat a bmw m2 CS 2 door which costs about 90k dollars or 100k and the audi rs3 costs 63k the audi was 7.5 seconds faster on the nurburing than the m2 cs which is meant to be bmws basically best performing car. And 7.5 sec faster lap time is huge if you didn't know. You can check on the Internet just type nurburing lap time m2 cs. bmw drivers are truly special in a bad way of course and bmw drivers are just born that way. And every single crash I see is a bmw and bmw at fault just not long ago there were horrible crashes that happend nearby me. Also I don't know if I said but audi quality is one of the best. Sorry for the long write I just tried to explain well.
I have it with the black optics and blackened logos. Such a sexy car. An absolute pleasure to drive. I cant find and flaw including the price point which is righ

It's me again. Just wanted to say that that is utter garbage. I've dailied rs cars for years and I done stage 2 and 3 tunings to them so that greatly decreases reliability and I've never ever had an engine problem but I'm also a mechanic so I work in my garden on my cars. I have a friend with 2020 rs6 stage 4 (about 1000hp) with alot of kilometres by now and he never had problem. All audi a lineups like a4 for example or a7 have good engines with cheap maintenance. If you can do maintenance to cars audi won't let you down. Although my buddy had a 2022 q8 and the alternator broke costing about 2k dollars. Maybe new audis can have potential electrical problems 🤔 I've never experienced that though. Anyway the a lineup for audi not only reliable efficient engines but also very tunable. I've seem videos taking the a5 for example to safe 400 hp for 650 dollar tuning which is crazy because per horsepower you expect to pay way more but this turns out super cheap. Depends on what engine though.
@@user-wi4ci2jo4usorry, I didn’t get it. Is it reliable or not? Thx
Much appreciated review. The A5 is on my list for a new car. The interior seems bigger than I thought. Dont take this the wrong way, but the reviewer looks tiny in the back seat. I am only an inch taller and it’s making me second guess the A5 as I was looking for a sharp looking vehicle. Too bad the A5 coupe so much more money, as would prefer over the sport back.
Not sure what country you are in, but the Coupe and Sportback are very close to the same price for the same trim level in the USA
@@kritzlere thx. One dealer near me had a coupe about $6K more than the sport back. I’m not actually looking till Jan 2024. Also hoping for more choices as dealers near me have limited choices.
Got a 2018 sport back. Wonderful car. Can fit a ton of stuff. Surfboards skis tons of luggage and handles and looks awesome. I'll never own a sedan again they make no sense after this car. Plenty of room in the back. I have a friend who's 6,4 he was ok
@@sethm10order one to your liking. I prefer having the extra space even if it’s smaller in the rear. I have an RS5 coming and it will be my daily driver. I drove coupes as daily’s and although they are nimble you can’t beat having 2 extra doors and having the space when you need it
@@yostaustin yeah they are awesome huge trunk like the a7
I hope that screen can be tucked away. Like it will pop out if you need it. I want clear vision of the road and other that bulge behind the steering wheel i don't like anything else on top of the dash board.
Unfortunately it does not
It will be integrated in the dashboard on the 2025 model. Just like the a6 and a7.
My ford Mondeo has in built touch screen and it's a 2017.
They stopped making them now (RiP) and my new A5 is delivered tomorrow. Not interested in electric or SUV.
Proper car this.
@@tallpaul69 I’m almost there too my RS5 is due to arrive early July. I can’t wait.
They said it would be June 30th and then 8th April and out of the blue they said today 20th. So waiting right now.@@SpeeeedyG
I wish I were able to afford this car. I earn £40/d, its a really long shot for me but maybe in next life I’d be able to afford something like this.😭
Someday brother someday. Just keep going and advancing potentially getting a better job. I'm just saying aswell that in england if you work as a construction worker you can earn quite good money like about 20 pounds an hour. Then after a year of working if your confident you can become a construction manager if I'm not wrong I've seen people doing that and they barely knew English and earn about 10000 pounds a month. Not too easy of a job but pays well. But I haven't been to England for a couple years so maybe things changed. But keep going man you'll make it.
We’ll done!
Interesting that you described how the BMW 4 series and A5 were in response to the desire for crossovers.
Now, I’d like to see these companies make these full hybrids that get 40-50mpg.
Companies are still forcing us into compact SUVs, for the most part, if u want a hatch and truly excellent mpg.
What about a Honda Civic hatch?
@@japanwatchconnection an Audi has roughly the same long-term reliability as the Yugo. German vehicle parts are extremely expensive. True the 1.5L-T on the Civic hatch is dogsh8t, but there’s the Type R which challenges the A5 in performance, even the S5, but maybe not the RS5. Look I wish Honda made a sportback (i.e. fastback) hatch with AWD and powerful 2.4L-T, but the CAFE restrictions prevent them from doing so. So I will just have to make my own. I do not want that Audi trash, and its grey-haired, suit-tie-executive, conservative, yuppie styling. Audis are boring as fck. Hate the rounded off styling and 187 inches is too long for a hot hatch. Frankly the WRX is the best AWD value in the market for the budget minded. And can easily be tuned to 340 HP. Okay maybe the GR Corolla except no 3-bangers for me.
For the price Mass dealers asking for A5, I'll purchase S5 in another state.
A5 or A7???
I think A5 2024 is totally different from inside
It’s not. 2024 model for North America is a B9.5
Correct 2023 & 24 are the same interior
Sadly its the same
At 5’5 I think almost every car has enough room for that size person, sorry I was that tall at 10 years old…..
Weird flex but ok
Yes, because people have the ability to control their height 🙄
I own a 2022 A4 S line and the cabin is very quiet, no road noise. Although considering the 2024 A5 i have noticed that the windows are not framed and when i test drove the car the road noise was considerably higher. Why isn't this discussed? It would be a big disappointment to those A4 owners upgrading to find that their new car makes a lot more noise.
I upgraded from a 2018 A4 and quite frankly I don't hear a significant noisier ride. It's a tad noisier because I'm running 20" wheels on the A5 compared to my A4 which used smaller tires. The A5 is still a quiet car

@@sunshadow9704 no problems with mine. Since it is also late into the generation, the newer A5 has a lot of the problems kinked out or patched practically.
@@sunshadow9704 if you are getting a car after 2016 model year, then BMW>Audi>Mercedes. If you are getting a used before 2012 it will be a very different story.
