Advanced quattro® all-wheel drive technology has a variable torque split that can intuitively send power to where it's needed, giving you additional confidence across all types of road conditions. Standard power comes in the form of a potent yet efficient 2.0-liter TFSI® direct-injection DOHC four-cylinder engine which produces 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a sophisticated seven-speed S tronic® dual-clutch automatic transmission and quattro® all-wheel drive, the impressive A5 delivers inspired performance. It features a dynamic exterior with pronounced fender badges, side sills, and bumpers. Sophisticated and sporty, this is an A5 that's difficult for others to keep up with.
