5 reasons to buy the 2023 Audi RS5
1. Lavish cabin
The 2023 Audi RS5 treats you and your passengers like VIPs with its lavish cabin. The intricately stitched front sports seats can heat up or cool down to your comfort level and you can also relax sore muscles by turning on the seats' massage functions. The list of other upscale cabin features includes a panoramic sunroof, ambient interior lighting, and three-zone climate control. For an even fancier ride, opt for the available Competition package, which includes a three-spoke heated steering wheel with contrast red stitching, Pearl Nappa leather seats, and Audi beam puddle lights with the RS Competition logo.
2. Powerful engine
Do you do a lot of highway driving? You can get up to speed quickly with the 2023 Audi RS5's powerful engine. The 2.9L twin-turbo V6 engine delivers 444 hp and 442 lb-ft of torque, routed through an eight-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels. Going from zero to 60 takes 3.8 seconds in the RS5 Sportback and just 3.7 seconds in the RS5 Coupe (according to the manufacturer when new). You can even hear the power of this engine in RS5s equipped with the available Dynamic Plus package, which includes matte black tailpipes that emit a more intense sound.
3. Impressive sound system
No need to shell out for an aftermarket setup, the 2023 Audi RS5's standard sound system can play all your favorite music in crystal-clear clarity. The car features 19 premium speakers from the high-end Danish electronic brand Bang & Olufsen®. You can adjust the audio controls with convenient buttons on the steering wheel or by tapping the 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen display.
4. Tons of driver aids
Whether you're on a road trip or making your daily commute, the 2023 Audi RS5's driver aids can help you get where you're going confidently. Lane-departure warning, forward-collision warning, automated emergency braking, rearview camera, and blind-spot monitoring all come standard. You should also look out for available driver-assistance features such as lane-keep assist, front and rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, and a surround-view camera system.
5. Two trim options
With two distinct trim options, you can find a 2023 Audi RS5 that fits your lifestyle. The two-door coupe offers a sporty, swift ride for up to four passengers and a fair amount of room for storage for luggage or groceries with 10.9 cu-ft of cargo space. Need a little more room? Consider the RS5 Sportback. It's just 2.4 inches longer than the coupe, but it has four doors, seating for up to five people, and double the cargo capacity.
