Audi RS 5 Saloon Lease Deals

The RS 5 Saloon comes with 639PS from a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 and a 130 kW electric motor. It goes from 0-62mph in 3.6 seconds, and has an optional 177mph top speed. 

What really sets it apart is the world-first electro-mechanical torque vectoring, which distributes power between the rear wheels in milliseconds for handling that feels genuinely unlike anything else in the segment.

The RS 5 Saloon sits 90mm wider than the standard A5, with flared arches, a checkered-flag Matrix LED signature, and matte oval RS exhaust tips that make the car's intentions clear from any angle.

Inside, honeycomb-quilted sport seats, a flat-bottom Nappa leather steering wheel, and a curved OLED display create a driving environment that feels premium and purposeful in equal measure.

Despite the coupé-like silhouette, the RS 5 Saloon is more practical than it looks, with the shallow rear window cleverly forming part of the boot lid, making loading easier. 

The centrepiece is Audi's world-first quattro drivetrain with Dynamic Torque Control, which recalculates optimal torque distribution between the rear wheels 200 times per second. Beyond the drivetrain, a curved OLED MMI display, configurable head-up display, digital OLED rear lights with road communication functionality, and an integrated driving experience function with lap timing make this one of the more technically accomplished cars in its class.

The RS 5 Saloon has nine standard colours including Ascari Blue and Progressive Red that sit alongside exclusive Audi exclusive finishes, while exterior design packages let you tailor the carbon elements, mirror caps, and wheel choice across 20 and 21-inch options. 

The optional Audi Sport package takes things further still, adding larger air intakes, ceramic brakes in bronze, Bedford green metallic paint, and Serpentine green interior stitching for a more individual look.

The RS 5 Saloon is the kind of car that works equally well on a Monday morning commute as it does on a twisting B-road at the weekend, which is a rare thing to be able to say about a 639 PS performance saloon. It's well suited to drivers who want something with real presence and genuine capability, particularly those stepping up from a standard performance car and looking for something that does a great deal more than just go quickly.
