![]() The bigger V8 in the group also does a tremendously good job of matching the RS 5’s numbers, but it also employs a 48V motor, making it a mild hybrid. This MPG rating is the highest in the segment while the range is also the second-best, given a rival’s bigger fuel tank.Īs evident from the EPA ratings, the RS 5 does get good fuel efficiency out of its powerplant and the Giulia Quadrifoglio does a good job in matching the numbers as well. But that said, the twin-turbo V6 under the hood does carry some good fuel-economy figures which are rated at 18 MPG in the city and 25 MPG on the highway, for a combined 21 MPG from its 15.3 gallon fuel tank. The 2022 Audi RS 5 is aimed to get the most smiles per gallon and hence, loses out on the electric motor as well. Upcoming Audi A4 could feature massive design changes.Audi RS3 spied testing at the Nurburgring with chequered flag headlights. ![]() It takes 4 seconds to reach the 60 mph mark, while the Audi RS 5 Sportback achieves a similar feat in just 3.5 seconds. The Bimmer lags behind the competition, but that is mainly due to the standard 6-speed automatic gearbox which isn’t as fast as the rivals’. The strong V8 mill does pull the others back which results in a very photo-finish end at the quarter-mile. The AMG is a very capable machine and is just slightly behind the Alfa Romeo and the Audi in a straight-line. The adaptive suspension does a pretty good job of containing the bumps and undulations while the relaxed and well-insulated cabin is a peaceful place to be in.Īll the performance sedans have impressive figures to boast of, with the Mercedes-AMG one-upping the rest with a bi-turbo V8 under the hood. In the city, the RS 5 handles well and is as comfortable as an A5. If you want to live on a race track only, get the M4.The gearbox shifts smoothly but there’s a bit of a delay when the shifts are done manually via the paddle shifters. Audi buyers don’t have to have all eyes on them and say “look at me!” Like every BMW driver.įinally, if you want a sports coupe that is fast, solid, safe and not flashy, the RS5 is your car. What this car does is murder the competition without making a big deal about it. There are a lot of people that don’t need to be flashy and loud all the time. People buy Audis partly for the stealth aspect of them. I have raced a hellcat and embarrassed it. When driven at ANYTHING less than that and on any street in America, the RS5 is safer and will destroy those cars and more especially from a launch with the AWD. I don’t need to do a burn out around every corner and maybe when driven at 10/10 on a track, those might beat the RS5. ![]() Magazines want to compare this to the M4 and C63 which are RWD and they all say but it doesn’t have the fun factor blah blah blah. Now for my complaints with other reviews: ![]() Transmission can be a little slow to downshift even in dynamic mode If you have ever owned a car that has loud exhaust, you will admit there are times when it can get a little old when just cruising around (rarely but does happen)Ībsolutely no aftermarket performance parts are available in the US yet Interior is amazing and infotainment is greatĭynamic mode is rough on the roads in St Louis.Ĭould have more aggressive sound but it’s a V6 and I’m SICK of people always saying but it’s not a V8 and doesn’t sound good. I can get 30mpg on highway cruising to work around 70mph Can fit 4 adults as long as the … ones in the back are shorter than say 5’8” Most people don’t know what they are and I like that. I have now had this car for a year and give you an accurate real world review, not the stupid reviews that every car magazine will give you
