" A punchy turbocharged four-cylinder provides plenty of pep and the chassis is dialed in for solid cornering grip." - Car and Driver

The new Audi A5 coupe is powered by a 2.0-Liter I4 Intercooled engine. With the engine receiving 13 hp more power this year, the 2021 A5 returns 261 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. With the help of the 12V mild hybrid system, the engine turns out to be more responsive than the predecessor. This power jump from last year's model allows the A5 to bring in increased top speed and makes highway cruising more pleasant than before. 

The inline-4 cylinder engine under the A5’s hood comes mated with a 7-speed Automatic S Tronic Dual-Clutch transmission that pulls the car quickly on highways and ensures better ride quality. Combined with the Quattro AWD system, it helps the A5 get to triple-digit speeds effortlessly and in no time. Comparing the engine details, all the rivals lag behind the Audi a5, thanks to the power boost of 13 horsepower.

The Lexus RC 300 propels less power but offers similar torque with the A5 Coupe. The Audi A5 Coupe does pretty well in zero to 60 mph sprint, doing it in straight 5 seconds. It takes 13.6 seconds to go a quarter-mile. Now that’s what the acceleration speaks about the A5’s engine performance. The A5 is faster than most of the other 4 cylinder powered cars in the segment. 

 Another major factor playing a vital role in A5’s performance boost is the trimmed-down weight compared to the outgoing model. Notably, the predecessor did a 0 to 60 mph sprint in 6.1 seconds. The C300 Coupe and the 430i xDrive recorded a slower acceleration in 0-60 mph sprint. The numbers from the Lexus RC 300 are quite disappointing but what else we can expect from a naturally aspirated engine.

"Stylish, modern, and well built, the A5's cabin is comfortable, at least for front seat passengers" - Car and Driver 

The Audi A5’s interior reminds you of the A4, which is quite accurate. The A5 Coupe boasts of a solid cabin that is way balanced than most of its siblings. The interior contains leather upholstery along with aluminum and wooden inserts. The front seat passengers find it easy to accommodate themselves, while the rear passengers face problems due to flipped front seats. Also, the visibility from the driver’s seat is great.

The 2021 A5 Coupe can accommodate four passengers. However, due to the sloping roofline, tall passengers might find problems in the rear seat. This is almost identical in most coupes in the city that complain about limited rear headroom and legroom. The front sport seats are narrow and provide adequate padding across the sides as well. 

Everything inside the A5 coupe looks decent but misses the luxury quotient. The buyer has an option to customize their model with the available S Line interior appearance package that includes features like leather faux-suede upholstered seats, stainless steel sport pedals, brushed aluminum trim, and a flat-bottomed steering wheel. The Audi A5 gets a much-needed infotainment upgrade in the lineup. Replacing the previous infotainment system with an all-new 10.1-inch touchscreen MMI 3 infotainment system. The new system boasts responsive inputs and high-quality graphics. 

There are very few places where the physical knobs and buttons are visible. In most cases, the buttons are gone. The touchscreen is very responsive to user inputs and can be controlled via touch, voice, or controls mounted on the steering wheel. The infotainment system gets Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard with Bluetooth connectivity.
