Audi S5 Sedan TFSI Quattro driven for 2026.

Audi S5 Sedan – Last week I drove one of my favourite cars. The Audi S5 Sedan TFSI Quattro. The reason it’s a favourite is balance. It has the right balance between style and design, performance, comfort and driver engagement.

I am a big fan of the liftback design. Audi builds some beautiful cars and the S5 is amongst them.

The metallic Daytona grey colour combined with 20 inch sports alloy wheels, low profile performance tyres and red brake calipers looks awesome.

Inside contrasting arras red leather seats with grey trim sets a premium ambience.

Front seats are supportive and comfortable I appreciate the heating and massage functionality. Perfect for my aging back.

The new dash and instrument layout is different. It works well and having controls for the air-conditioning visible at all times is welcomed.

Im not a fan of the new push button controls on the steering wheel though. They aren’t as direct as the previous design.

Performance comes from a sublime straight six mild hybrid TFSI petrol engine. That’s a mouthful. This provides 270kW of power and 550 Nm of torque. Driving all four wheels through a 7 speed S Tronic transmission and Audis brilliant quattro drove system.

It will go from 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds yet remain placid around town and economical.

Priced from around $115,000 plus the usual costs it’s a performance bargain. And as I mentioned, one of my all-time favourite cars,
