At first glance, the A5 and S5 look much the same. Both share the same sleek body and quattro all-wheel drive. They offer Sportback, Coupé, and convertible shapes. Inside, you’ll see the same high-quality materials and tech. But once you drive them, their personalities separate.
Power and Performance That Stand Apart
The A5 is powered by a 2.0‑litre turbocharged four‑cylinder engine. It makes 268 hp and has a mild‑hybrid system. That gets the A5 from 0 to 100 km/h in about 5.9 seconds. It’s smooth, efficient, and perfect for daily use. Fuel economy is around 8.8 L/100 km combined.
The S5 steps it up with a 3.0‑litre V6 and 349 hp. It also adds a sportier suspension and handling features. You’ll feel more power and sharper steering when you drive. Both use a dual‑clutch S‑tronic gearbox and quattro all‑wheel drive. But the S5’s setup is tuned for more fun and better grip in corners.
Trims and Standard Features
The A5 comes in trims like Progressiv and Technik. Even the base trim includes 18‑inch wheels, virtual cockpit, heated front seats, and wireless CarPlay. You can add upgrades like bigger wheels, sport seats, and premium sound.
The S5 builds on that with more performance gear. It comes standard with upgraded brakes, adaptive sports suspension, and a rear sport differential. You’ll also get sport seats, S‑design interior trim, and sharper styling touches.
Comfort and Practicality
Both models offer roomy cabins and smooth rides. The A5 is comfortable and refined for everyday driving in Toronto traffic. Fuel efficiency is solid, helping reduce trips to the pump.
The S5 sacrifices a bit of ride softness for sharper handling. But it’s still suitable for family trips to the Blue Mountains or cottage drives. Seats are more supportive, and the steering feels tighter.
Which One Suits Your Driving?
Choose the A5 if you want a stylish, efficient, and comfy ride for daily errands and highway trips. It’s a smart match for Toronto’s traffic, winter roads, or weekend outings with good fuel use.
Pick the S5 if you crave excitement behind the wheel. If you enjoy winding roads or value performance, then the S5 offers strong acceleration and sharp control. You’ll feel the difference on the DVP or country routes north of Toronto.
