The Audi S5 was originally quite a different car, a sporty version of the Ingolstadt brand's mid-sized Coupe and Cabriolet designs, with a model lineage dating back to 2007. Today's S5 though, is rather different, either a five-door 'Saloon' or an Avant estate. In essence, it's a sportier version of the new-era A5, which in mid-2024 replaced the previous long-running A4 saloon and estate models, in line with Audi's change of combustion naming convention. That makes this modern-era S5 actually more of a direct replacement for the old S4 - which has a much longer model lineage, the very first S4 dating back in 1997. As this new S5 is today, the S4 was always a V6 (even when it was briefly sold as diesel in 2019), apart from a brief spell of V8 power between 2003 and 2009. That V8 was replaced by a supercharged V6 petrol S4 model, but in more recent times, the S4 used the kind of V6 turbo petrol powerplant that continues here with this modern era S5, launched in mid-2024. Let's take a closer look.
Quite a lot has changed in creating this new kind of S5. And quite a lot hasn't. It's a much classier overall package, both inside and out. And the gutsy turbo engine should make it feel properly quick - like the old S4 V8 models used to be. But the underlying demeanour on offer here is very little different. An S5 is a devastatingly quick tarmac cross country tool, its quattro 4WD system giving this model wet weather traction that most rivals still can't match. As ever though, if you want a sporting model of this sort to be some sort of dynamic hooligan, some sort of junior M3, you'd probably do better looking elsewhere. A typical S5 owner is really above all that sort of thing. He - or she - doesn't want the thrill-a-minute nervousness of an M3 or a C63 and isn't looking for a car that will replicate that with slightly less power for slightly less money. So Audi has delivered to that brief. Unless you do something stupid, this car won't introduce you to any sort of fear factor. Instead, it offers speed you can control confidently and extra traction that's telling in the kind of conditions that so often characterise this country. Would you take it on a track day? Almost certainly not. Would you enjoy a high speed trip through the Alps in one? Absolutely yes. None of this of course, endears the S5 to the tyre-smoking folk who write for car magazines. If you talk to someone about to write a cheque for a car of this kind though, so many of them will be more inclined to opt for the Audi.
