Product Overview

Audi RS 5 F5 is the high-performance version of the F5 Audi A5 compact executive coupe in production from 2017. It is powered by a bi-turbo V6 engine that displaced 2.9 liters.
Compared to the previous RS 5, the F5 generation is somewhat uglier. Buyers have to do with just a V6.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Audi RS 5 (F5) comes with multi-link suspensions at all four corners. This provides the best cornering performance and tunability, at the expense of cost and a little bit of durability.

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:
The Audi RS 5 is a marginally better car than before courtesy of this mid-life facelift. Many fans will like the new, more aggressive looks, but the main characteristics remain unchanged. Although this is a practical performance coupe that will be easy to live with, it's not the most engaging four-seat sports car on the market.
Pros
  • More fun to drive
  • Fantastic infotainment system
Cons
  • Not the most engaging four-seat sports car
