Audi A5 Reliability

The Audi A5 is a sporty, high-performance luxury sedan that forms one of the flagship vehicles of the manufacturer's lineup. Based on the A4 platform, the A5 comes in convertible and coupe versions as well as a 4-door Sportback hatchback configuration. This range of options alone makes it a car that's beloved by drivers across West Palm Beach, Boynton Beach, and Delray Beach.

Beyond options and unbeatable luxury and performance, Audi is also known for producing some of the most reliable cars on the road today. Audi fans stick with these vehicles because they continue to perform like new for many years after you first get behind the wheel. Let's examine the ratings regarding the Audi A5 reliability, and learn where you can go to drive one for yourself.

Basic A5 Specifications

There are two different engines available on the Audi A5, each of which delivers outstanding performance. The base engine is a 2-liter turbo-4, which delivers 252 horsepower. Powered by a dual-clutch, 7-speed automatic transmission, this engine also gives you 273 lb-ft of torque and goes from zero to 60 MPH in under six seconds.

Upgraded S5 models can opt for a 3-liter turbo V6 matched up with an 8-speed automatic transmission. This engine gives you 354 horsepower. The specialized Audi quattro® all-wheel drive (AWD) system is standard on all A5 vehicles.

Safety

Safety is an important part of your vehicle's reliability. It's what gives you the peace of mind knowing that you'll get from Point A to Point B securely. Audi delivers in this area with tons of active intelligent safety features like Blind Spot Monitoring, Cross-Traffic Alerts, Front Crash Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, and even a Vehicle Exit Assist function that can warn you if someone is coming up behind you before you open the door.

Government safety tests on the Audi A5 by the NHTSA have resulted in an overall 5-Star rating. That means this vehicle is one you can count on to reliably keep you safe.

Warranty

Warranty is another important aspect of reliability. You want a manufacturer to stand behind their vehicle and ensure that if something goes wrong, it will be repaired. Audi stands behind their vehicles, including the A5, with a 4-year, 50,000-mile limited warranty from bumper to bumper and on the powertrain.

So far there have been two recalls for the A5, and both were precautionary. One recall was to ensure that the airbags were properly folded during installation, and the other involved softening the speaker trim edges to avoid possible injury to vehicle occupants.
