2026 Audi S5 Avant Review | A few tweaks away from greatness

Audi's bizarre naming change means its typical hot wagon now wears an S5 badge, but the recipe is otherwise familiar: twin-turbo V6 engine, all-wheel drive and sportier dynamics. S-models can be a bit hit and miss but the previous S4/S5 were pretty handy, so does the new generation continue to impress? As you'll discover, there's plenty of like, but also some obvious things that could improve the package come facelift time. 00:00 Intro 00:13 Exterior Walkaround 01:47 Engine 02:08 Boot Space 02:38 Rear Seat 03:15 Interior Walkaround 09:43 Driving Impressions 23:00 Conclusion #audi #carreview #automobile Follow me on Instagram @addictedtosliding
