The 2024 Audi RS5 Sportback Competition Is The Ultimate Driving Audi Super Sedan
Vložit

- The tagline Ultimate Driving Machine has been used by BMW for decades, but for 2024 #Audi is looking to challenge BMW with the latest version of the #AudiRS5. The #RS5Competition upgrades the suspension, steering, and wheel/tire package to create the best handling Audi 4-door ever made. And with nearly 450 HP and standard #Quattro AWD, it has all the grip that you could want from a super sedan.

"I need a 20 in screen" says people in the comments that own 2008 accords
Call me old fashioned but I love this interior over the A6 A7 Q8 and so forth because of the physical buttons unlike having those 2 screens with a ton piano black.
Agreed, great to have physical buttons when in motion. BMW made this mistake as well
What’s with the old iPad still stuck on the dash/air vents. Seems so last century. 🤷🏻
@@dirkiedoos8577 Yeah? Last century? So many 90’s cars with iPads on their dashboards out there 😂
@@dirkiedoos8577if it's last century teslas must be ancient then 😂
Don’t disagree with you. Audi interiors look so generic nowadays
I got an RS5 coupe because i just cannot stand how the M3/M4 looks. The M4 is especially weird looking, both in terms of the front and the overall proportions. I wanted more or a GT car and am very happy with the Audi.
Adro g82 m4 competition blue.
I think BMW has lost its way with exterior design--totally unattractive facial designs! The RS5 is the most attractive vehicle on the road--by FAAARRR! Period.
debating if i should get the 2024 rs5 or wait for the 2025, guess ill wait and see and make a choice in December
yes and also the BMW M cars insurance is insanely high
I wish Audi would take their RS lineup seriously. 1 interior color option at this price point…really? BMW offers 15 different color combinations plus carbon bucket seats. Not to mention the M3’s powertrain blows the Audi out of the water.
You have different options for interiors
@@timsautovision6145that nobody uses. It’s always black on black with gloss black😂
Their interiors are depressing.
@@gaara4667you can’t afford Audi lol
@@RonsmooveTI correction: nobody wants to buy your shit brand*
Move your hurt feelings out of here. 🤡
@@timsautovision6145 what are the other interior colors besides black? (I already know the answer, but I’m bored so entertain me).
They need to put that 4.0 twin turbo v8 in that rs5
Always thought the RS5 was just amazing in its looks. Bravo
Love how you've been doing sport vehicles lately. You automatically get a like from me
Great Review! I've had my 2023 Audi RS5 Competition for about 4 months now and everything you said in this review is spot on. Coming from a Non-Competition 2021 RS5 I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they increased the power/speed (I took it to the Dyno), gave it a better exhaust, and the handling... The Handling is very very un-Audi like.
Like you mentioned this cars ride is unmatched in this class. It's so poised and composed even though its super low to the ground and on coilovers. Then there's the cornering. No noes dive, just flat and controlled. I've taken the time to tinker with the 3 stage adjustments on the coilovers and set it to it's track mode and the already incredible cornering capabilities got even better. It's the best suspension I've ever driven on personally (and yes that includes the new M3)
Again Great Review Redline! Keep em coming.
I’d love to know the dyno results. What was it making at the wheels?👀
@@MrJagfootball63 It made 440 Wheel horsepower which is 506 Crank Horsepower if you use 15% drivetrain loss. Regular RS5s make ~415 wheel horsepower.
@@rag4305 doesn't match the S58 (typically close to 510 on dyno) but still very good. I have a 2023 and considering this car, my primary concern is the weight - are you planning any mods?
We have 2020 sq5. With a back surgery I find these seat well supported & comfortably on long trips, especially with thigh extensions.
I recommend Audi, on 4th on e now -great quality ✌🏻🤧👍🏻
Great video & information 🤔
If the latest BMW/Mercedes interiors with big iPad screens everywhere is considered up to date, then I prefer this “outdated” interior way more
I'm with you on that. I'd even go farther than that and say my 2018 with the scroll wheel for MMI is even better.
Not a fan of touchscreens with all the fingerprints on it. Audi should have kept both if anything.
Bro that cheesy little glued on screen is super ugly compared to bmw and merc. I had a rental Ford escape and it had this same cheesy looking glued on screen. Theres no excusing it. Looks cheesy
I feel paying this price tag and not getting cooled seats is criminal. If the car has leather (and suede) it needs cooled seats because thats gonna get mad hot in the summer
agreed. you can option an A5 with cooled seats, but no option in an RS5. makes zero sense
you need the comfort seats, which are optional.
@@DeeJayAdverb where? definitely not an option in North America.
21:38 0-60 test.🕑🚀
Just wish they would update that tiny Android tablet display from toys r us
😂😂
It’s been updated already 😂😂
They did the 2025 A5 is coming new generation get reveal in June
Had a ttrs before now i have a same gen S5 and i love it . Here in borth Canada it is just à beast winter drift machine and so under radar car . I savez A LOT of tickets, just cuz i have gray hair and a black nice 4 door audi . PAPY got exited they must say . Personaly, i just walk away . Love all the work put in your work and wish u plenty more to produce so i can have oppinions on futher toys . Keep the good work.
Now this is more like it (anti-EV)! Nice review as usual Sofyan! Love my ‘21 Ascari Launch Edition (1 of 100)! I get 4 sec 0-60’s stock without trying, easy 3.5 with good launch. Great highway daily driver and backroad weapon! I get 28 MPG cruising on the highway at 75 in comfort mode. Of course I drive it in RS mode when wife and child not aboard. Your car still needs the forward exhaust resonator delete for proper sound. 👍🏻
Looking at the RS5's front after looking at the face of an M3/M4, is like feeling warm summer air over your face in comparison to having 2 mosquitoes fly directly into both eyeballs at the same time, if I'm not being too subtle.
Dated, but nice to still have physical buttons inside. TBH I’d still choose an M3 Comp xdrive, but you can find CPO RS5’s for low $60-65k, exact same inside and out as a brand new one
The A5 getting new generation later this year
100k and no ventilated seats? 😮
LOL those rims 🤣 They would look good on the A5.
Winter wheels and tires.
My man can't hear
Another nice informative video on how to maintain hair and what products works best with maintenance of ones hair growth 😮
They need to change the name of "panic button" to "find" that damn button has located my car countless times. Everytime a forget where I parked that button has saved me. Beautiful car and as always, beautiful video sir. Rock on dude
It needs some wheel spacers to make the wheels stick out a bit
Nice job Sofyan & I would like purchase this.
8:27 Exhaust Note sounds Great which is a good thing unlike pre refreshed you cannot Rev close to 6,000 rmp redline
Why do all the reviewers think RS mode is special? It’s not. RS1 and RS2 are just memory modes for individual settings. I have my RS buttons set to a mix of settings (comfort suspension, quiet exhaust, sport steering, etc). If I want full sport in all settings, I just use Audi’s pre-programmed Dynamic mode.
isn’t RS1/2 mode the same as Dynamic if you have the individual settings set to sport?
@@stealthhtm23 Yes, if you set every option within an RS mode to Sport, then the RS mode is essentially the same as Dynamic.
Great review. I’m waiting for the next gen.
These are great cars.
I currently own a 2022 S4, and my wife has a 2022 A6 Allroad, but the RS5 my be next for me...Great review as always
I hopped on the audi bandwagon after a long stint with infiniti. Im starting with a 2023 A5 and coming from infiniti the tech is light years ahead of infiniti. Down on power compared to my red sport q50 but i wanted to just try the brand. I like knobs and buttons too.
Didnt know you were in PA also like me. 😊
I came from Acura, both Acura and Infiniti have shit transmissions. That DCT is amazing, wish Audi would use it in S and RS models as well.
Great job pointing out the “emotional start” feature. So far you’re the only one that I’ve seen point that out on the RS cars👍🏽
i like those wheels!! classic audi sport look.
Fine on a standard car. But I'd expect something a lot more aggressive on its flagship performance car.
The 20 inch rims come with a tiny 30 sidewall tire. Northern states that won’t work. Get these 19’s with 35 sidewall and just buy new rims if you want.
Yes it doesn’t have the horrible 48V mess. That drains the battery!!!!
This is a very good looking car inside out....id have mine in red ❤
Heated but not ventilated seats? Most folks will drive this primarily in the summer months
I like this video can you get the 2024 rsq3 sportback in your next video
Not available in US.
Interesting that the Comp. package doesn't give it any more power than that of the 2018-now RS5.
Yup might as well pick up a CPO one and save $30-40k off MSRP …
@@jakes5530 Honestly, that is best way to go.
Although I'm content with my B9 S4 Prestige with all the packages. But that Sportback, sure is nice.
@@jakes5530 CPO?
@@online_now6834 certified pre owned. Usually 1-3 year old with warranty left and inspection from manufacturer.
I've taken mine to the Dyno and Interestingly It does make more power than my 2021 Non Comp RS5 I had in the past. It's pushing over 500 Crank and my Dragy numbers prove it too.
Didn’t Audi already have updated infotainment system in the A/S 6/7/8, and Q/SQ7/8 but not yet in the smaller models?
The next generation A5 and Q5 getting Q6 like interior reveal is in June. The A6 e-tron might get reveal in May. The A4 will be EV coming Q2 2025, Q7 and A7 new gen by Q2 2025 as well. A new model Q9 coming next year as well.
What do you behind in tech it does all the same thing bmw and Benz do without those big ass flat screens in the dash. I like the layout. It looks unique from what all these cars look like with just black screen across the dash
I guess you've never seen the inside of a Tesla
@@krane15 telsa is trash it’s a iPad just mounted it’s look generic in my opinion. I don’t need all that in my car. I have a home lol
@@krane15tesla doesnt even have a HUD, gauge clusters, or a 360 cam. Tesla interior looks like a McDonald's ordering layout. 😂 so soulless and almost depression inducing. Nothing feels like ur in something special or expensive. Legit the worst bland interior of all time. Screams cost cutting
@@user-ey5dq8rw9o are you saying it because you cannot afford Tesla S?
@@sunshadow9704 naw telsa are. Trash 🚮. I hate them. And yes I can afford a telsa lol I drive a 2020 Audi s6 🤷🏾🤷🏾
So tight
You can get different stitching and interior colors
I counted a half a dozen or more times you complained about the 19” wheels and winter tires, yet you still got 0-6 in 3.3 seconds. The fact that you can downsize wheels to 19” and fit high performance winter tires along with Quattro make this a year round vehicle and not solely a garage/track car. If you want to race buy a dedicated track car. Lease you think I’m not an enthusiast, I own a 997.1 911, an X5 with M sport and an Audi A5 cabriolet. Not everyone wants to daily their track car!
Those wheels are criminal
Wheels will make a MASSIVE difference everyone
It’s making well over 444hp. It’s making that at the wheels
Nice
Is this a re-upload? 🤔
They should’ve named it RS 5 Performance
First of all thanks for reviewing a few sedans car recently as I am sick of seeing all car reviewers are only going for EV, SUV, and Trucks. About the RS5 sportback, it was always one of my most favourite sports sedan alongside M3 competition. The sad thing is Audi's quality are slightly decreasing specially by using gloss black and having many features as an option or not having some features at all (ventilated seats). The entertainment system was once the best and is old now. RS3, RS6, and RS7 all have dual screen while its aged but yet competitive with rivals. Really looking forward to see next gen A5 sportback if there will be any!
Why is there like no reviews of the coupe version
I chuckle every time I see Sofyan literally slow walk during his intros. Kinda of funny, kinda creepy.
I still like Audi
Why pay extra for the comp when you can get abt package and you’ll get more hp, quad exhaust
Love that depression black interior color
Audi/ Bimmer > Benz any day of the week
Definitely don't like those wheels. LOL. Other than that, absolutely love the RS5.
they aren’t the wheels that come with the Comp lol. that’s a winter set.
Camry looks awesome!
Guys can you roll down the rear windows all the way on this ??
Going to assume that the glovebox is damped but being this sort of “lacking” sport model I’m going to guess that it is unfortunately NOT lined with felt.
Even with the wheels being smaller than what normally comes on the RS5, I don’t think that’s the right tire size.
Whoever speced this press car, took sleeper to the next leveled for an RS5, competition at that. This looks extremely dull from the outside. Without the badging or huge red brake calipers, it basically looks like an A5. I do love the Audi formula tho. It is an everyday weapon. It can tackle a back road when you need it to and settle into a reasonable luxury sedan when you need it to as well. The BMW can come across as to hardcore and the C63 is just a disappointment imo with that 4 cylinder and weight. I just wish Audi would be more adventurous with the styling and color options on the interior.
Bring back the manual transmission option pls 😢
I would take this over an M3 fersure with the competition package
That’s awesome! Being that these a super undesirable, you should be able to get a great deal on one. Unlike the M3, there’s still 2023 models sitting on lots that dealers can’t get rid of.
@@ajlee6933😂😂😂 bro no way. I checked Autotrader and 2023 RS5’s are definitely still sitting on dealer lots. I wonder how much are they willing to discount them.
@@ajlee6933 there’s even some 2023 M3’s sitting on the lot too but like I said I prefer this over the M3
@@joshuaf5515 haha, good one, but in reality there are some people who are on a waiting list for 24 M3. The 2023 models are long gone.
overpriced but nice as hell
My friend just purchased a very low mile 2020 S6 for 50k with same engine I rather have that compared to 100k S5. It's a little larger and better interior, not a fan of the info entertainment screen in the S5.
I wonder who would win 1/4 mile race this or the new highland m3 performance.
Who cares about that ugly Chinese fish looking egg blob karen mobile. With it's McDonald's ordering bland interior. I swear teslas are the new poor mans quick car. They target a market of people that cant afford cars like these so they get those ugly cars for cheap speed. I know this becuase I have friends that fit that exact description with a tesla and even admit as much.
I’ll still take a 2015 rs5. They should have kept the v8 and just super charged it
This looks heavy, busy and body lines are all over the place. I hate the squat this thing has, it looks too low. I prefer the BMW and the Cadillac’s exteriors. I also think the new 2025 CT5-V Blackwing interior blows this out of the water. But i love this twin-turbo V6 from Audi.
I like that Audi take the effort to design a nice looking engine cover for there performance division. Although they still don't offer the rubber seal encircling the bay the way BMW and Mercedes does.
@13:00 Funny, I'm always thinking of ways manufactures can make cars quieter. Especially at highway speeds. Although I suppose anybody that seeks a competition model car prefers an intrusive engine sound. As far as I'm concerned, that would get old after 10 sec. at which point I prefer quite -- which is my measure for a well-made car.
@14:20 That Alcantara is durable but once the hand oils start to build up its going to look (and smell) nasty. Some things just need to be non-pores and the steering wheel is one of them.
Infotainment is too high and will be distraction with outside view, especially at night.
Say goodbye to the R8. 2024 is the last year.
Love the RS5, but they need to change that old interior design!!
after chinese came up, we can see how freaking expensive these cars are !
No cooled seats. That's a bummer
Spirited drivers don't need cooled bums?
@@krane15 you do if you live where i live
I still prefer the B8 RS5
I’d take this over the m3. Never was a bmw fan, never will be.
The car is beautiful, but I'm definitely not a fan of those rims.
Usually Audi has some fantastic looking rims on their vehicles, but these particular ones aren't doing it for me.
I'm not an SUV/CUV or whatever fan. I'm 68' and 6'4" with a bad back and I can tell that this car would be a bear to get in and out of because the B pillar is more passenger friendly than driver friendly. It's too far forward.
LOve IT!! But just hate that it looks LIKE A SPORTIER jetta....
I can get over the front end of the BMW for a much better driving car that is more reliable and faster. Audi’s make great luxury cars but not so much performance cars
Close to 100k for 444hp . . . huh?
It’s faster than a lotus evora Gt 419 whp and same price as the lotus
M3 is still king. It’ll outperform an RS5/4 in every aspect. 94k is not worth it. Looks like a normal A5.
I like the way the RS6 Avant looks over the RS5 much more.
Nice , but I’m sticking with BMW M3 thank you
I wish audi would redo there interiors getting very old inside
2025 new Generation coming in A5. Will obviously carry over to S and RS
@@Troy-fv9uq We shall see. The Germans are falling way behind with just about everything. Their last saving grace is their fun to drive. But with all the German engineer jumping ship to Korea, not even that will be exclusive for much longer.
Rest on your laurels and get left behind. I don't even notice when Hyundai surpass VW. Their Ioniq 5 EV has over 600hp! That's two Golf Rs. More than any VW has ever produced.

Pathetic front end tire width, 275’s (front) on my m3 comp. And I also have OEM coil-overs. Not a new thing… came from 16 Audi’s, not one comes close to the experience of my M3 comp. Also weighs 300-400 pounds less
The cabin looks so outdated compared to BMW. The tech is is behind so much.
Those RIMS kill me. They seem very dated.
Is ultra overpriced too
It's a drag this puppy tops out at 180 mph. 😔
Impressive use of only 444hp to get 3.3s to 60 mph, amazing. But why buy this over a Model S Plaid that has over 1000 hp, more range, and drives itself for about the same price?
Tesla's impressive forward motion. So long as you don't try it at speed on a winding canyon road. That's where the two take "sharp turn."
Why buy a car when you can just ride a bike?
As ugly as the M3's front end is I'd still take it over this. Manual FTW.
This is super dated and to make things worse looks like some cost cutting
I’ll pass on the rs5 for 95,000
M3 is the winner 🏆
