Luxurious sportiness

Not buying but driving the amazing car feels like luxurious sportiness. I achieved 250 km/h in a few minutes with amazing performances with a luxurious interior, looks quite good but not so sporty. Maintenance is a little bit higher in this segment and maintaining the car is properly heavy The negative thing is absolutely ground clearance on Indian roads diesel engine noise is coming into the cabin of the car.

Great car go for it

Everything is perfect for me.. such as comfort on the seat.. sound system rediculously incredible... gonna buy it soon.. perfomanc3 is awesome.. while riding this car it's feel a best perticipation between othe brands.. just only one thing to say go for it... if u love audi brand.. make sure everything is allright

2017 Audi S5 First Drive Review

By Ameya Dandekar06 Oct 2017

If the 2.0-litre diesel motor on the A5 is too tame for your liking and higher revving petrol motors, better handling with mega performance is your thing, then Audi has the S5 for you. By replacing S with A in the nomenclature you get firmer suspension, a turbocharged V6 petrol motor good for 351bhp and some aesthetic additions to tell your neighbors that you are driving something more special than the standard car.

Audi A5 First Drive Review

By Ameya Dandekar29 Sep 2017

This car is all about style but there’s a lot more substance under the skin of the Audi A5 Sportback than its flowing silhouette would suggest. It shares its MLB platform with the Audi A4, which is not a bad place to start with. It’s a more stylish version, one that looks sportier than its conventional sedan sibling and this is where its appeal lies.
