Verdict
Remplaçante de l'A4, cette A5 de 2024 a obtenu 5 étoiles à Euro NCAP. Les retours publiés manquent : FixMyCar note qu'il n'y a pas encore assez de données de fiabilité, avec des plaintes surtout liées au logiciel et à l'infodivertissement. Un rappel d'airbag passager vise une série fabriquée en mars-avril 2025.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- Emissions of the versions in this guide: 47 to 153 g CO₂/km (check the value on the car's registration certificate).
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Inspection checklist
Audi A5 III — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Faire vérifier avec le numéro de série, chez Audi, le rappel de l'airbag passager (code 69DM) si la voiture date de mars-avril 2025.
- Contrôler que le logiciel du système multimédia et de la connectivité est à jour et qu'il n'y a pas de plantage.
- Sur l'hybride rechargeable, demander l'état de la batterie et vérifier le câble et la recharge.
- Vérifier le carnet d'entretien et la garantie constructeur restante.
- Essayer la boîte S tronic à froid : passages de rapports, à-coups à basse vitesse.
Questions to ask the seller
- Le rappel de l'airbag passager a-t-il été effectué ? Avez-vous l'attestation ?
- Des mises à jour logicielles ont-elles été faites, et des défauts d'infodivertissement sont-ils apparus ?
- L'entretien a-t-il été suivi dans le réseau Audi, avec facture ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
