Used Audi A5 fuel economy and performance

• Audi A5 35 TFSI: The range starts with a 2-litre turbocharged petrol making 150PS, and sending its power only to the front wheels. 0-62mph takes 8.9 seconds, while the combined economy is impressive for a petrol at 45.6mpg.
• Audi A5 40 TFSI: Tuned to 204PS, the same 2-litre engine sprints to 62mph in 7.1 seconds, while economy doesn’t fall off too badly, at 42.8mpg.
• Audi A5 45 TFSI quattro: Another variant of the 2-litre petrol, this one gets quattro all-wheel drive as standard, and a 265PS output - cutting the 0-62mph time down to 5.5 seconds. Audi claims up to 37.7mpg combined.
• Audi A5 35 TDI: The first of the diesels has a 2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, producing 163PS. It’s quicker than the 35 TFSI petrol, with 0-62mph in 8.2 seconds, and it’ll do 58.9mpg combined too.
• Audi A5 40 TDI quattro: The second of the 2-litre diesels gets standard all-wheel drive for its 204PS, sprinting from 0-62mph in 6.9 seconds, and managing 50.4mpg combined.
• Audi S5 TDI: Later S5s used a 3-litre V6 turbodiesel with 341PS, for 0-62mph in 4.6 seconds. Economy was still pretty good for such a quick car, at 40.4mpg.
• Audi S5 TFSI: The earlier S5 also used a 3-litre V6, but petrol this time. Performance was similar to the diesel at 4.7 seconds from 0-62mph, and while its 36.7mpg economy seems close to the TDI, bear in mind it was recorded on the less accurate NEDC test.
• Audi RS5: In RS5 form you get a 2.9-litre turbocharged V6 petrol engine with 450PS, and a 3.9-second 0-62mph time.

What used Audi A5 trim levels are available?

• The Audi A5 SE was where the A5 range started at launch, but was later phased out. Equipment included 17-inch alloy wheels and Xenon headlights, with leather seats (heated in the front) and three-zone climate control, with an electric boot lid.
• The Audi A5 Sport has a sharper appearance, partly courtesy of 18-inch alloys, with other kit including leather sports seats.
• The Audi A5 S Line gets a sportier appearance still, with an S-specific body kit and wheels, more prominently bolstered sports seats, and a black headlining.
• The Audi A5 Black Edition is largely as per the S Line but adds 20-inch alloy wheels and a black exterior styling pack, replacing some of the brightwork on other models.
• The Audi S5 is the first of the performance models, getting unique styling, sports suspension, and uprated brakes for its higher power figures.
• The Audi S5 Black Edition once again trades brighter details (such as Audi’s silver mirror caps from the S5) for darker equivalents.
• The Audi S5 Vorsprung is effectively an S5 with all the option boxes ticked, including adaptive suspension, a Sport differential, head-up display, and Bang & Olufsen audio.
• The Audi RS5 tops the range with its 450PS V6 and several features specific to this performance model, from suspension and brakes to styling.

Used Audi A5 road tax

The current generation Audi A5 was launched in 2017, so the majority on sale will be taxed according to a flat rate, currently £190 per year if the car cost less than £40,000 new, or £600 per year if it cost more than that - though the earliest cars will soon drop back down to a lower rate, since the surcharge no longer applies from the car’s seventh year on the road. Some early A5s may be much cheaper to tax though, as cars registered prior to April 2017 are taxed according to CO2.

How much is it to insure an Audi A5?

The Audi A5 starts in insurance group 28 - that’s for a 35 TFSI in Sport trim. Opt for S Line and you go up to group 31, while the more powerful 40 TFSI lifts it to group 37 and the 40 TFSI to group 40. S5s start in group 45, and the RS5 goes up to group 48 - so expect these models to cost a fair bit more at renewal time.
