2026 Audi A5 Specs, Trims, & Features

The 2026 Audi A5 marks the beginning of an entirely new era, as it evolves to replace the legendary A4 as Audi’s premier midsize sedan for the Ontario market. Built on the revolutionary Premium Platform Combustion, the all-new A5 features a longer wheelbase, a wider stance, and a sleek Sportback-style silhouette that provides more versatility and interior room for Riverside and Ontario owners. This latest generation is designed for drivers who demand a sophisticated executive vehicle that merges classic luxury with the most advanced digital innovations. The 2026 A5 stands as a bold statement of Audi's future, providing a more emotional design language and a driving experience that is both more comfortable and more engaging than ever before.

Performance in the all-new A5 comes from a reengineered 2.0-liter TFSI® turbocharged four-cylinder engine that now produces a best-in-class 268 horsepower for more authoritative power. This powertrain is paired with a smooth-shifting seven-speed S tronic® dual-clutch transmission and standard quattro® all-wheel drive, ensuring confident traction and effortless power delivery for every Ontario journey. The new chassis technology allows for more precise steering and better isolation from road noise, creating a whisper-quiet sanctuary for both the driver and passengers. Whether you are commuting to Orange County or enjoying a weekend trip to the mountains, the 2026 A5 provides a refined and powerful ride that sets a new benchmark for the midsize luxury segment on every Southern California road.

Audi A5 Trim Levels

The 2026 A5 lineup is structured into three highly-equipped tiers: Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige, each offering a distinct level of premium amenities for Ontario drivers. The Premium trim offers an exceptional foundation, featuring standard S line exterior styling, a panoramic sunroof, and the stunning new Audi "Digital Stage" cockpit as standard equipment. Stepping up to the Premium Plus adds a significant layer of technology, including the immersive SONOS 3D sound system and a top-view camera system for easier Ontario maneuvers and parking. The flagship Prestige trim represents the ultimate in Audi luxury, coming standard with an adaptive air suspension for a cloud-like ride and the innovative MMI® front passenger display, ensuring an uncompromising luxury experience.

Performance Specs and Driving Dynamics

Driving the 2026 A5 is a transformative experience thanks to the new PPC platform, which provides a significantly more rigid body and a more refined suspension layout. The standard quattro® all-wheel drive has been updated with ultra technology to maximize fuel efficiency during steady cruising while being able to engage the rear wheels in milliseconds when Ontario roads become slick. The new suspension tuning reduces body lean during cornering while simultaneously improving the car's ability to absorb road imperfections, providing a level of comfort that rivals larger flagship models. For those seeking the ultimate in ride quality, the available adaptive air suspension allows for a customizable experience, from a soft-edged cruiser to a firm and agile sport sedan.
