Audi has a stylish luxury coupe to compete with the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The A5 has a familiar 2.0l turbocharged four-cylinder under the hood partially mounted behind the front axle to improve weight distribution and handling. The S5 performance model upgrades to a 4.2L V8 rated at 354 horsepower. Both models offer a choice of 6-speed manual or automatic transmissions. Audi's quattro all-wheel-drive is standard.

What Changed:

An eight speed automatic replaces the six-speed automatic on 2.0T models.
