Reviews SummaryUpdated and mostly upgraded, the redesigned Audi S5 is a multi-talented sportback with performance, comfort, utility, and the latest technology. Based on the redesigned Audi A5, it features a stealthy design, thrilling dynamics, and just enough room for a family of four. The new Audi Digital Stage technology impresses, but the driving assistance systems do not. The S5 could also use sharper styling with more prominent fender blisters and additional sound deadening for a quieter highway ride. Verdict: Drive a new 2025 Audi S5 like a typical luxury sedan and you’ll miss the point. We didn’t fall in love with it until we took it for a rousing run on a favourite back road. If that’s not your thing, consider the new A5 or the larger A6. | |
