This all-wheel-drive car handles confidently while navigating curves. While I wouldn’t exactly call it a family car, it is definitely comfortable and perfect for long-distance touring. The S5 is for those who are truly interested in enjoying your experience behind the wheel.
Performance, Ride, and Fuel Economy
The Cabriolet has a powerful turbocharged V6 engine. Once you get going, the acceleration is swift and steady. When tested, the S5 was able to accelerate from 0 to 60 in 4.3 seconds. Even at top highway speed, the brakes respond quickly. This car offers the best of all-wheel-drive traction with the agility of a rear-wheel-drive car.
The available adaptive suspension of the S5 offers excellent qualities for a variety of driving conditions. Comfort mode smooths out rough pavement with ease. Dynamic mode stabilizes body motion during spirited driving. The car is pretty silent at all speeds, canceling out wind noise.
The EPA estimates that the Cabriolet S5 averages 24 mpg combined with 21 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. This is in line with similar vehicles in its class.
Interior Comfort and Storage
There is plenty of room for the front passenger with ample adjustment range for the driver. The front seats offer lots of support and the available heated and ventilated elements work well. Climate control maintains the cabin temperature accurately. Visibility out of the front windshield is more than adequate. The interior controls are well placed and clear.

Infotainment and Connectivity

The navigation system is standard fare and user-friendly. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility is standard with your smartphone interface.
