2026 Audi A5 Specs, Trims, & Features
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.
