What is the difference between the Audi S5 variants?

While the A5 focuses on luxury and efficiency with a 268-hp four-cylinder engine, the S5 is a performance-oriented model that upgrades to a 362-hp V6 turbo engine, larger performance brakes, a sport-tuned adaptive suspension, and unique "S" styling elements like quad exhaust outlets. For buyers considering the Audi S5, that matters because it affects how easy the car is to live with, whether for commuting, family use, long-distance driving or ownership costs. The useful way to read this is not as an isolated specification, but as a clue to how the car will feel in real daily use.
