Safety equipment on the cars is high-tech
Safety and After Sales Service – The car gets a 6 airbag system with dual frontal, side chest and side head-protecting airbags as standard. Side chest protecting airbags in the second-row outboard seats are available on the A5. It gets a pop-up bonnet for pedestrian protection, tyre pressure warning, light and rain sensor, ISOFIX child seat mounting and top tether.

The A5 and S5 make for a good choice if you enjoy driving
Verdict – Both the A5 and S5 are very good cars offering a sporty feel. The cars come with good looks, long equipment list, decent comfort and powerful engines and the Sportbacks are very practical for daily usage too. The A5 should be your pick if you want a torquey engine which is also efficient while the S5 should definitely be your pick if you’re in the market for a petrol performance sedan since it gets a very nice 3.0-litre V6 engine and a sweet sounding exhaust.
