2026 Audi A5 Prestige

The 2026 Audi A5 is a compact luxury sedan that slots between the A4 and A6 in Audi's lineup. It competes with the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The A5 feels planted and eager through corners, with a composed ride that suits daily driving. The cabin is modern and well-built, with a large touchscreen and comfortable front seats. The Prestige is the range-topping A5, adding the tech and luxury touches that make it feel more premium than the Premium Plus. Its 2.0L I4 makes 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, routed through a seven-speed automatic and all-wheel drive for quick, all-weather acceleration that returns 26 mpg combined. Only the Prestige offers the available adaptive suspension with dampers that firm up in Dynamic mode for sharper cornering.
