ABOUT THE 2023 AUDI A5 COUPE QUATTRO
The 2023 Audi A5 Coupe quattro is the two-door, four-seat version of the second-generation A5 (B9), sold in the latter part of its life. It is powered by the 45 TFSI 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder with a mild-hybrid system, rated at 261 hp and 273 lb-ft, and uses a seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch gearbox with quattro all-wheel drive as standard.
Late in the cycle
By 2023 the B9 coupe had been on sale in the US since the 2018 model year and had already received its facelift, which introduced a touchscreen MMI system and revised styling. The A5 coupe and Cabriolet were nearing the end of the line: after the 2024 model year Audi dropped the two-door models and reused the A5 name for its next mid-size saloon-style range. That makes a 2023 car one of the final, most developed examples of the coupe.
What it is like
The A5 Coupe is more of a stylish grand tourer than a hard-edged sports car. It is quiet and composed, and the turbocharged four-cylinder gives strong mid-range pull. Long doors make access to the two rear seats easier than in some coupes, though space there is best for shorter adults or children. Those wanting more performance could choose the S5 or the RS 5.
Buying one today
A later B9 is usually a sound used buy, but check the service record for dual-clutch gearbox fluid changes and look for coolant leaks around the water pump, a commonly reported 2.0 TFSI issue.
Rivals
Competitors included the BMW 4 Series Coupe, Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe and Lexus RC.
