2016 A5

CG Says: There are no significant changes for the 2016 A5 and S5. All A5s now have standard S Line exterior trim. Bang & Olufsen sound system is now standard on A5 with Premium Plus trim and S5. The high-performance RS5 is not in production for 2016. The A5 is basically a 2-door luxury car with a sporty edge. Though its turbocharged 4-cylinder engine isn’t the fastest mill out there, it still can provide an invigorating driving experience. More invigorating is the S5 with a 333 supercharged V6. A5 won’t give the Porsche Boxster or Cayman a run for their money, but it’s still a luxurious and dynamically capable car. If you’re shopping the BMW 2-Series, Cadillac ATS coupe, or the Infiniti Q60 Coupe or Q60 Convertible, put the A5 on your list.
