Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 A5 Quattro.
The 2025 Audi A5 Quattro channels its output through a seven-speed automated-manual transmission, returning EPA figures of 22 mpg city, 31 mpg highway, and 26 mpg combined. As a current model year, its reliability record is still taking shape, with six owner complaints and two recalls logged so far — the bulk of grievances centering on the electrical system and back-over prevention. While those numbers remain modest, they represent early data points in an unfolding reliability picture that researchers should monitor rather than treat as settled.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Owner complaints about the 2025 Audi A5 Quattro top in one area — the electrical system,back over prevention, 1 of 6 reports (17%), well ahead of the next concern. None of this vehicle's 2 recall campaigns target the electrical system,back over prevention, so those reports read as owner-reported wear-and-tear rather than an acknowledged defect. 0 of the reports describe a crash and 0 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the electrical system,back over prevention pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
