Compare the Audi A5 vs Audi A5 Avant
AI generated from our expert reviews
Choosing between the Audi A5 and the Audi A5 Avant comes down to your practical priorities. Around town, both models are easy to pilot thanks to light and direct steering, though the diesel engine can be quite noisy when it engages. Take either onto the motorway and you will enjoy a quiet, refined cruise, but head down a twisty road and neither gives you much feedback from the tyres. Inside each car, you might find the steering wheel rim blocks the top of the tall instrument display depending on your driving position, and both feature an uncomfortable, perched middle rear seat with a hard cushion and a floor hump to straddle. However, rear space differs overhead: those over six feet tall might find headroom tight in the back of the saloon, whereas six-foot adults will not struggle for headroom in the taller-roofed Avant.
