Used 2023 Audi A5 Hatchback Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Audi A5 comes in three body styles: coupe, convertible (called Cabriolet) and a four-door hatchback (called Sportback). Three trim levels are offered for each body style: the base Premium trim, the midlevel Premium Plus trim and the range-topping Prestige.

The coupe and convertible come with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 261 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque (called 45 TFSI). The four-door hatchback can be equipped with the above engine or the base 40 TFSI engine, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 201 hp and 236 lb-ft. A seven-speed automatic transmission sends power to an all-wheel-drive system regardless of body style, engine or trim level.

Premium
The A5 Premium base trim comes with a generous amount of standard features. Highlights include:

  • 18-inch alloy wheels

  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)

The optional Convenience package adds:

  • Auto-dimming and power-folding side mirrors
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Keyless entry
  • Satellite radio
  • Front and rear parking sensors

  • Driver's seat memory functions
  • Faux leather-wrapped center console and armrests

  • Adaptive cruise control
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the A5 back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium audio system

Prestige
The Prestige trim maxes out the tech and comfort features, including:

  • Matrix LED headlights enhanced with animations, laser lighting and headlight washers
  • Navigation system with traffic sign recognition
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated rear seats (Sportback)
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)

Additional packages and single feature options include:

  • Black Optic package (19-inch wheels, aluminum and black accents, red brake calipers)
  • Ventilated front seats (standard on the Cabriolet Prestige trim) 
  • 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium audio system
  • Rear side airbags (Sportback)

Which A5 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The base A5 comes well equipped, but stepping up to the midtier Premium Plus trim gets you the best bang for your buck. Choosing it unlocks extra goodies that include Audi's upgraded Virtual Cockpit Plus fully digital instrument display, a premium audio system from Bang & Olufsen, a 360-degree camera and all the contents of the Convenience package, including adaptive cruise control.
