What’s new on the 2026 Audi A5 and S5
The third generation of the Audi A5 arrived for 2025 at the same time as a name change, previously known as the A4. It brought with it a new body, a new cockpit and a complete overhaul of driver assistance and infotainment systems.
The 2026 model year builds on what 2025 established: a sporty signature, with muscular fenders and clean surfaces, and a digital cockpit architecture. The core of the lineup remains combustion powered, which explains the odd-numbered naming, with the 2026 Audi S5 reinforcing the performance side thanks to its 3.0 T V6 with 362 horsepower, starting at $70,950.
In a market where compact luxury models are migrating to all-screen interiors, Audi goes further this year. The Digital Stage interface has been fully redesigned for 2026, an evolution that applies to both the 2026 Audi A5 and S5.
Performance and powertrains: comfort and sportiness delivered
The 2026 Audi A5, starting at $59,100, relies on a well-balanced 2.0 L turbo 4-cylinder, while the S5 takes things further with a 3.0 L turbo V6. Here are the figures in a table:
| Audi A5 | Audi S5 | |
|---|---|---|
| Powertrain | 2.0 L 4-cylinder | 3.0 L V6 |
| Power/torque | 268 HP/295 lb-ft | 362 HP/406 lb-ft |
| Transmission | 7-speed S Tronic | |
| Drivetrain | quattro | |
| 0-100 km/h | 5.9 s | 4.6 s |
| Top speed | 210 km/h | 250 km/h |
The 2026 Audi S5, starting at $70,950*, stands as the performance trim in the lineup: torque is available from low revs, traction remains flawless and the chassis is sharpened for consistent precision. It also introduces a new Dynamic Plus mode that enables controlled oversteer thanks to the standard quattro sport differential.
The S tronic dual-clutch transmission, shared by the 2026 Audi A5 and S5, orchestrates every surge, from highway on-ramps to passes on Highway 40, with smoothness that never sacrifices the refinement expected from a luxury sedan.
On Montreal roads, the 2026 Audi A5 appeals with quick response in the city and the mid-range ease of the turbo engine, while maintaining combined consumption of 9.1 L/100 km, which is quite remarkable for a sedan of this calibre.
The S5 asserts its character with distinct elements: a gloss black rear spoiler, customizable Digital OLED taillights and interior carbon fibre inlays. The front seats, heated and ventilated, even add a massage function, while the Bang & Olufsen 3D Premium system, with speakers integrated into the headrests, surrounds the cabin in immersive, concert hall-like sound.
Design and finishes: 2026 Audi A5
Designers opted for an even more athletic silhouette: taut surfaces, sharper lighting signatures and a radiator grille with a more technical design. Below are the 2026 Audi A5 and S5, with their dimensions and weight in a table:
| Length | 4,829 mm |
| Width | 1,860 mm |
| Height | 1,444 mm |
| Wheelbase | 2,892 mm |
| Weight | 4,090 lb. |
On board the new 2026 Audi A5 and S5, perceived quality and visual simplicity are front and centre. Brushed aluminum inlays, multicolour interactive lighting and a heated leather steering wheel with paddle shifters shape a cabin where no detail has been overlooked.
The architecture puts the central display at the heart of the experience without sacrificing essential controls, while the Audi virtual cockpit measuring 11.9 inches adds another layer of immersion to the drive.
The 2026 Audi A5 and S5 sedans blend sport and luxury with ease in this segment, each adding its own signature. One leans toward restrained poise, the other toward assertive intensity.
2026 Audi A5: technologies and driver assistance systems
As expected from the manufacturer, advanced safety and driver assistance systems are numerous:
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Emergency Warnings and Braking
- Blind-Spot Monitoring
- Lane Keeping Assist
- Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity
- Wireless charging
- Etc.
These systems continue to evolve, notably with optional Park Assist Pro, now able to take control of the steering wheel for nearly 50 metres during a reverse manoeuvre into a parking spot, a step forward that eases stress on narrower streets.
The in-cabin ambiance can also be personalized through “experience worlds”: 10-to-20-minute sensory experiences that adjust lighting, sound, massage functions and air-conditioning to the desired mood, and that even adapt dynamically to vehicle motion while driving.
