2021 Audi A5 Coupe Review: Style and Substance? 4K 

Rory is so critical about the cars he reviews. I love it. Nobody else in the business really says their opinion about the car, but Rory gives some real, fair and justified advice.

rory you’re honestly one of the best reviewers out there

"all about the knobs" 🤣🤣

In terms of looks, that statement sums it very nicely 0:36. For me, the A5 has always been a head turner. The designers of the car really nailed it, even with all the previous generations

I purchased an A5, I think it's amazing if I listened to this guy, I most probably wouldn't by it, it's a wonderful car if you really want one don't listen to this guy and go for a test drive. I love my Audi A5 and it performed excellent on the motorway, I don't know what this guy talking about

I'm one of those rare breeds that prefers the A5 Coupe to the A5 Sportback

I am here listening from Trinidad and Tobago

I guess Rory forgot that there's actually 3 petrols available, the 45 TFSI quattro is an absolute beauty

Rory with the pivot into the backseat was impressive but flexing the entire review in some Jordan’s - priceless... 🙌🏽😎

I’ve got a 2017 coupe, no regrets. Really love it.

"Vertically challenged" is probably the best thing Rory has ever said

It can allegedly sit four people 😂😂 Is this a car review or comedy. Can't breathe. Loving it from Kenya🇰🇪

Who's tempted by the 2021 A5? ⬇️

The facelift version of the old a5 still looks the best to me. This interior is nicer though

No car review channel can ever touch Joe and how he interacts with his community.

My favorite review channel

Indeed a attractive car

*"I like nice knobs and I cannot lie..."* _Rory-2021_ 🙈😆🤣🤣

"For me a car with four doors"', says the guy with the two door Mustang ;)

4:02 you'd expect a car with this price tag to give you electronic adjustable seats...

Rory, in plain spoken terms.. you are a man of benevolent words. The one and only, as far as I am concerned. You literally have no competition.

Shout out from Newyork Rory ✌🏽😉

Excellent review. Can’t see them selling much of these.

This is what is called a review. Lol'ed at the vertical challenged joke, quite a nice funny way of saying short.

Honestly, Aufi's wagons are a more propelling proposition for me. I love them.

This is a brilliant review of the A5. I have a 2018 TFSI which has the 190bhp engine. What the reviewer says about the engine edchoed what an Audi salesman said when comparing the A4 40TFSI against the 35TFSI. The former being much better. The eviewer is absolutely correct about the rear seating. It's difficult both getting in the rear as well as exiting from the rear. Nice car to drive but I wouldn't buy another; mainly because of the lack of usefulness of the rear seats. Better buy a Sportback so you get 2 extra doors.

This is the latest infotainment. The difference is that anything below A/S/RS 6 gets one screen and manual climate controls

This is a rental car... the car you buy your "side chick" so she doesn't tell your wife. LOL!

For that driving thrill that some people seek, the S5 is a good bet. Still smooth, still comfortable and refined, but with a decent engine note and driving dynamics to make you smile.

“Get a car with four doors” says the mustang owner! 😂

That is Audis latest MMi system. The dual screen is the same system with the climate controls switched to a screen. A3, Q3 etc all have this one screen system which is far superior. Also, this is a facelift hence it still has the original controls

I have an A5. It looks good sat outside my house but it really isn't that much fun to drive. I'll be replacing it later this year.

Excellent - No Nonsense - Review. Well done.

“That person has made the right decisions in life.” Love that

Travesty that you're not still on Topgear!!

I bought 2008 A5 coupe, absolute beauty. Lots of people look at it and talk when i drive around with it, maybe bit too much for my taste lol, i wasn't expecting that much.

This is interesting. I’m looking at an A5 5dr and a 530d. This might have just helped me decide.

Nice kicks Rory!

Agree with Rory about the car q competent, reasonably practical, safe and hopefully good looking. I think this offers a great deal in its segment. If you want thrills and pay the money the 2021 RS5 Sportback is a great car, its ferociously quick and still fights well, with its competitors, even though its at the end of its model life. The shape has endured because its pretty much perfect and copied by many including the 4 series coupe which still hasn't pulled it off imo.

Serious question; how are 4 seat 2 door coupes legal? To get out in an emergency in a 4 door car, you just open your door and get out. In a 2 door coupe in the back seat, you have to wait for the front passenger to get out and open the seat before you can leave. In an emergency those seconds could mean you don’t escape a fire. I love 2 door coups. I accept the lack of practicality for the better styling. That being said, you would think that by now that governments would have jumped on them

You ate one one the best presenter and its really awesome to watch autotrader reviews

"If you are vertically challenged.."😭😭😭

European viewers might be interested to know that you can't even get the watered-down versions of most Audi's in American. It is sold as a more luxury brand here. For instance, the 35 and 40 A5 Coupe FWD does not exist here, only the 45 Quattro.

Best review I've seen thus far. You're really good at what you do

For that amount amount of money you can get so much better, more involving cars, like a GTI, a WRX, even base model Mustang (correct me if I´m wrong) Though for people who don´t really care about cars but still want to look wealthy, this is a worthy option.

I wouldn't call an A5 sporty but great review as always. i hate fake exhaust tips though and audi keep doing it

I own a 2019 coupe. 2.0T flawless

Autotrader: Remember to insert a short joke. Rory: "Vertically Challenged"

"Allegedly seats four". That line killed me 🤣🤣🤣. Rory i keep saying you're on a league of your own. On another note I really don't understand the design of these 3 German coupes (C Class, 4 series & A5). Big bodies but no rear passenger space at all - worse in the C Class. I currently drive a Kia Cerato Koup (Forte Koup in other countries) but the rear leg & head room is quite generous. I'm 5 foot 11 but with the driver seat in my driving position I seat comfortably in the rear seat on long distances. I can't lie though, I'm aiming to get one of these German coupes. I love them.

You are a bit misleading ... If you want 4 (or 5) doors you have the A5 Sportback, if you want better performance there are more powerful engines or even RS5 - and this should be enough even for the most demanding drivers.

Nice review! There's more than 2 petrol engines available. There's also the 45 TFSI with around 265 hp. Cheers

What a way to start a video! That opening line: 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I love Rory's reviews.

Love my 2019 Audi A5, 45 TFSi S line black edition in quantum grey.

What’s the exterior difference between the A5 and S5

Love my s5 sportback 😍

I have owned both BMW420 and Audi A5 cabriolet Sline special edition. The Audi wins by a mile in everything. Handling, looks, performance, comfort level,..etc. The Audi has more sophisticated looks about and its aim for a sophisticated people where as BMW are tacky for petrol heads and the uncouth.

I just don't understand the point in reviewing a coupe, and then complaining about the fact it only has 2 doors. ??? I bought my A5 coupe for the styling and rarely need to use the read seats. Love it and will buy again.

Imagine this RU-vid channel giving giveaways🙄😂

The bag hook in the trunk is the selling point for me.

The A5 coupe great car for one or two people. I’ve had 3 four-door Golfs and 4 different Audi A3 four-doors, and never used the rear seats.

Best car reviews on the ‘Tube!

Sportback is the way to go

I was expecting " I'm all about the knobs... and this... is knobby."

All the trees in this video are absolutely beautiful!

That intro was a big pause ngl

This is my favorite car review channel together with carwow. Keep on going.

Just as I was thinking “ Ugh,not another Audi!” You said knobs and blamo I’m sucked back in!👍🏻🍸

I really miss that generations of iPod's you were referring to in this video haha

Really don't like the design of the new A5 - older models looked much more aggressive. Rory was brilliant as ever.

Nice review direct to the point, specially when the talks about road noise, something unacceptable for a premium car, for this I discarded the BMW series.

Great review Rory!

As many nice details as Audis have these days, there's too many dealbreakers (wont list because too long). I thought their last gen cars were much more solid choices. There's so many dealbreakers in every car across the range that I would rather take either the BMW or Merc depending on which car we're talking about. It is such a shame because we KNOW Audi knows how to build an amazing car. It feels like VW is kneecapping Audi to keep Porsche the really premium range. I think Merc and BMW are one tiny slot below Porsche, but Audi is like five big and unnecessary paces behind even Merc and BM across the board. In a world where the new gen Mercedes and BMW are pretty much perfect, and either is a fine choice depending on your personal taste, plus we're seeing more competition from cadillac, genesiss (+stinger), I think Audis should be a lot more compelling.

Love the shape of this audi A5 & the rs5

What is the best engine to choice ?

Crazy that they cheapen the brand by selling a 150hp engine - completely gutless

Any Rory fan boys from India 🇮🇳

Excellent review. Was considering one of these exact models, but it seriously lacks power. Will be looking at the latest gen 4 series instead. Thanks

I enjoyed watching the Video Review. Looks very nice 👍

Nice Jordan's mate

Great review brother!

"I'm all about the knobs..." what have I clicked into?

Do a review on the RS5 Coupe please

I have A5 3.0 Tdi Quattro s Tronic, looks great and fairly nippy being 245bhp, this is a great all rounder car with a little grit under the bonnet should you want it 😃

Man called me vertically challenged

I love how it 's look. is it reliable 2.0L petrol engine?

Rory, the the MKBHD of cars. Focus on having 60fps HDR support in 2021

Quote of the week( possibly the Month ) - "This person has made the right decisions in LIFE !!!! 😎😎😎

Should have done the S5

The best looking Audi model from the actual Audi line-up! (including the Sportback version)

Good review, don't know why they got rid of the 3.Od. great engine but now its only on the S5 which is a lot more money not fair for the normal punters. Not everyone can afford the S4

2 door coupes are waaaay beautiful than those have 4. Cars with 4 doors are not coupes but sporty sedan

Imagine this, rory as hammond doug as may and alex from ct as jermey and making top gear 3.0

Pause at the beginning ⏸️

I have this in the sportback (4 doors) First the interior, MMI has issues with Bluetooth connectivity, doesn't like connecting to any other phone apart from mine and the other half's. Touchscreen is annoying when you're driving as you always end up pressing the wrong thing and then trying to go back is a nightmare as there's a tiny back arrow button you have to press. No backseat cupholders when putting the armrest down and no behind the seat nets. Driving experior is decent. I have a 35 TDI and it does the job around the city but I find it just isn't as responsive as my previous c class (220D) takes a few milliseconds after putting your foot down for it to actually pick up speed, braking is also very slow, again not as responsive unless you really jam your foot down to stop the car. Granted I only have the 35 and I imagine a bigger engine would be better. Aside from that, you get reverse cam and electric boot standard, it looks amazing and is a real head turner.

that's weird, in Canada we have only one choice of engine and it's a 255 bhp 4 cylinder turbo.

Thank you for saying your height. Many reviewers forget that.

Identical interior as the A4 ❤

Perfect "daddy's little girl" car...

Manual seat adjust? My civic has electric seats
