2025 Audi A5

Audi parent automaker Volkswagen is recalling more than 27,700 of its luxury brand’s vehicles over an issue that may prevent a child-safety seat from remaining secure.

In a recent round of Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crash-test evaluations, six out of nine vehicles earned Top Safety Pick+ awards, IIHS’ highest honor.

The redesigned 2025 A5 and S5 are exceptionally good luxury sedans, but the touch-sensitive steering wheel and door-panel controls are frustrating.

Audi released a few midyear updates to its A5 lineup earlier in 2025, and both the A5 and S5 sedans received a slight bump in price ahead of them going on sale in early May.
