Audi A5 Business & Personal Car Leasing Offers

Audi launched the latest A5 in 2024 as the successor to the A4, the compact executive saloon and estate that had taken on the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class for three decades. The new name came from a plan Audi announced in 2023 to give combustion models odd numbers and electric models even numbers. Audi dropped the idea in early 2025 after customer feedback and went back to naming cars by size and position in the range. It chose not to rename models already on sale, so the A5 keeps its badge. The A5 now sits between the A3 and A6 in Audi’s range, available as the A5 Saloon and A5 Avant estate.

Audi has expanded the range since launch. The e-hybrid plug-in hybrid arrived in 2025 as the first PHEV in the A5 line-up. In 2026, the A5 e-hybrid was named Premium Hybrid Car of the Year at the Auto Express New Car Awards, ending the BMW 530e’s two-year run, and the Avant was commended in the Estate Car of the Year category.

For business customers, the A5 gives company car drivers a choice of executive saloon or estate for regular motorway journeys, and the e-hybrid’s most efficient versions sit in the 10% Benefit-in-Kind band for 2026/27. Personal customers get a premium mid-size family car that offers an alternative to an SUV, whether they prefer the sleeker lines of the Saloon or the extra space of the Avant.

Key Specifications

Audi A5 trims include:

- Technik: Available only as a plug-in hybrid, this entry trim is aimed at company car drivers. It comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, heated front sports seats, adaptive cruise control, and an electric tailgate. Like every A5, it also gets the 11.9-inch Audi virtual cockpit and 14.5-inch MMI touch display.

- Sport: Opens the petrol and diesel range and builds on Technik with LED rear lights and dynamic indicators. Three-zone climate control, wireless phone charging, and Park Assist Plus with a rear view camera are included as standard.

- S line: Adds 19-inch alloy wheels, S line exterior styling, privacy glass, and sport suspension lowered by 20mm. Front sport seats are trimmed in twin leather, and shift paddles appear behind the steering wheel.

- Black Edition: Builds on S line with black door mirrors, door handles, and window trims. Inside, it adds Dinamica microfibre and leatherette upholstery, electrically adjustable front seats, heated outer rear seats, and a heated steering wheel.

- Vorsprung: Tops the range with 20-inch Audi Sport alloy wheels, Matrix LED headlights, and a panoramic roof with switchable transparency. A 10.9-inch MMI front passenger display, Bang & Olufsen 3D premium sound, and Audi’s dynamic interaction light complete the specification.

The panoramic roof with switchable transparency is available as an option on Sport, S line, and Black Edition models. S line and Black Edition can also add the Technology Pack, which brings adaptive LED headlights, a head-up display, and the Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system. Vorsprung can be upgraded with headrest speakers for the Bang & Olufsen system and red brake callipers front and rear. Availability can vary by trim and current manufacturer ordering options.

Engine & Performance

The range opens with a 2.0 TFSI petrol engine producing 148bhp or 201bhp, both driving the front wheels. The 148bhp version reaches 62mph in 9.8 seconds, while the 201bhp engine takes 7.8 seconds. Both return up to 41.5mpg. For higher-mileage drivers, the 201bhp 2.0 TDI uses Audi’s 48-volt MHEV plus system to return up to 57.6mpg WLTP, and it can handle parking and manoeuvring on electric power alone. Adding quattro all-wheel drive cuts its 0-62mph time from 7.7 to 6.9 seconds, and economy dips slightly to 54.3mpg.

The e-hybrid quattro combines a 248bhp petrol engine and a 140bhp electric motor for 295bhp and 450Nm, reaching 62mph in 5.9 seconds. Its 25.9kWh battery gives up to 67 miles of electric range WLTP in the Saloon and 66 miles in the Avant, and CO2 emissions run from 46 to 60g/km. Charging at 11kW takes around 2.5 hours, and paddles behind the steering wheel adjust the strength of regenerative braking.

Two performance models complete the range. The S5 uses a 362bhp 3.0-litre V6 and quattro all-wheel drive to reach 62mph in 4.5 seconds. The RS 5, Audi Sport’s first plug-in hybrid, combines a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 and an electric motor for 630bhp and 825Nm. It reaches 62mph in 3.6 seconds and offers up to 52 miles of WLTP electric range.

Exterior Features

The A5 follows Audi’s latest design language. A wider, flatter Singleframe grille with a three-dimensional honeycomb pattern sits between slim LED headlights, and Vorsprung upgrades to Matrix LED units with eight selectable light signatures. At the back, an offset light strip runs across the tailgate above a dark diffuser and rectangular exhaust tips. The Saloon’s electric tailgate lifts complete with the rear window, giving it the wide loading opening of a hatchback.

Technik and Sport models ride on 18-inch alloy wheels. S line adds 19-inch wheels, privacy glass, S line styling, and sport suspension that sits 20mm lower, while Black Edition switches the door mirrors, door handles, and window trims to black. Vorsprung moves up to 20-inch Audi Sport alloys and can be specified with red brake callipers. Metallic finishes such as Horizon Blue and Mythos Black are available at extra cost. The panoramic glass roof with switchable transparency is also available on Sport, S line, and Black Edition. Availability can vary by trim and current manufacturer ordering options.

Interior Features

Every A5 gets Audi’s Digital Stage, a curved OLED panel that combines an 11.9-inch virtual cockpit and a 14.5-inch MMI touch display. A soft-touch “softwrap” material runs from the doors across the dashboard. On Vorsprung, a 10.9-inch passenger display joins the line-up, and its privacy mode stops the driver from seeing it on the move.

Heated front sports seats with four-way electric lumbar support are standard across the range. Cloth upholstery comes on entry models, S line moves to twin leather, and Black Edition and Vorsprung add Dinamica microfibre and leatherette. Those two trims also bring electric front seats, heated outer rear seats, and a heated steering wheel. Three-zone climate control is fitted as standard. On the e-hybrid, auxiliary air conditioning can pre-heat or cool the cabin through the myAudi app.

A longer wheelbase than the A4 frees up more room for rear passengers. The Saloon’s boot holds 445 litres, or 417 litres on diesel and quattro models, rising to 1,299 litres with the 40:20:40 rear seats folded. The Avant offers 476 litres and up to 1,424 litres. Battery packaging reduces the e-hybrid’s boot to 331 litres in the Saloon and 361 litres in the Avant. A 15W wireless charging tray with active cooling keeps phones topped up, and i-Size child seat mountings are fitted to the front passenger seat and both outer rear seats.

Safety Features

Front emergency brake assist is standard on every A5. It’s supported by intersection assist and turn assist, which watch for oncoming traffic at junctions. Swerve assist helps the driver steer around an obstacle in an emergency. Lane departure warning, traffic sign recognition, and a speed limiter that follows detected limits are included, and a driver-facing camera watches for signs of tiredness or distraction. Every trim also gets adaptive cruise control and a rear view camera, and Park Assist Plus can steer the car into parallel and bay spaces.

Vorsprung upgrades to adaptive cruise assist plus, which adds steering support to help keep the car centred in its lane. Lane departure warning on Vorsprung also includes emergency assist, which can bring the car to a controlled stop if the driver stops responding. Side assist with exit warning, rear cross-traffic assist, and a 360-degree camera with top view complete the package. These systems support the driver, who still needs to stay fully attentive at all times.

Business Leasing

An Audi A5 business lease suits company car drivers, directors, and fleet drivers who spend long hours on the motorway and want a premium executive car. The e-hybrid makes the most sense for drivers who can charge at home or at work, since its low CO2 emissions bring a much lower Benefit-in-Kind rate than the petrol and diesel models. The diesel remains the better fit for high annual mileage without regular access to a charger.

Fleet leasing with the Audi A5 gives businesses a premium saloon and estate for user-chooser lists, covering petrol, diesel, and plug-in hybrid needs within one model range.

Personal Leasing

An Audi A5 personal lease lets you drive a new premium car for a fixed monthly payment, then hand it back at the end of your agreement. It suits families who want an alternative to an SUV, whether that’s the sleeker Saloon or the Avant and its 476-litre boot. Even the entry Sport trim includes heated front seats, three-zone climate control, and adaptive cruise control.

When your agreement ends, you return the car, subject to the agreed mileage and our fair wear and tear guide. We’ll build your Audi A5 leasing deal around your annual mileage, contract length, and initial rental, and your monthly price stays fixed for the contract term.

Looking for Something Similar?

If you’re comparing Audi A5 lease deals, these compact executive alternatives are worth a look.

- BMW 3 Series: The A5’s longest-standing rival comes as a saloon or estate, including the 330e plug-in hybrid. Its 480-litre saloon boot edges the A5 Saloon’s 445 litres, and reviewers consistently rate it the sharper car to drive.

- Mercedes-Benz C-Class: Now offered as a facelifted petrol and plug-in hybrid saloon and estate, or as an all-new electric model with up to 474 miles of WLTP range. The electric version suits drivers ready to go fully electric, while the A5 e-hybrid covers more miles on electric power than the latest C 400 e plug-in hybrid.

- Volkswagen Passat: An estate-only alternative for drivers who put space and range first. The Passat eHybrid offers up to 82 miles of WLTP electric range and a 510-litre boot, well ahead of the A5 Avant e-hybrid’s 361 litres, though it doesn’t match the A5’s premium cabin or all-wheel drive.
