2027 Audi RS5 review

The new Audi RS5 matches its beastly looks with muscular electrified performance and adept handling, but it has gained some weight.

Audi's more practical rival to the BMW M3 Sedan has gotten one last shot of adrenaline before a new generation comes.

New, more focused Competition packages dial up the fun factor for the Audi RS5 Coupe and Sportback without killing their all-round appeal.

It mightn't be a wild child like some of its rivals, but the Audi RS5 carves an appealing niche and offers blistering performance in all weather conditions.

Audi is clawing its way back to the top of the pile with cars like the RS5 Sportback. I can't think of more capable rivals.
