Gotta hand it to Audi, all their cars, the design from the front, the side, the back, it all flows together uniformly. Other manufacturers seems like they have those areas designed by different people and pasted together.
I (BMW fanboy) habe to admit, this is by far the best looking Audi model and in fact it Looks even better than almost all current BMW models except the 8 series coupe.
The M4 Looks in a good configuration also nice, and more agressive but Not as nice as this beauty
While this may be the best-looking Audi, how are you a BMW fanyboy? The M4 looks much more aggressive and like a spaceship on the inside. The RS5 looks just like an A5/S5, and the infotainment is ages ahead.
I am an Audi fan in Japan but have to agree that when it comes to BMW (sorry to say not a huge fan) I have to say the 6 and 8 series are indeed really cool cars
I have a 21 RS5 Sportback and love it.
Audi and Porsche are honestly the only two German brands currently that are consistently building beautiful-looking cars in my opinion. Mercedes-Benz and BMW are kind of hit or miss in the design department right now whether it be their EVs or their internal combustion engine cars.
The new S-Class is a beautiful car, but when you compare it to the previous generation, something feels off in the rear. The GT63 4-Door is a beautiful machine by comparison.
Couldn’t agree more. Modern designs that still have brand recognition. The A6 E-Tron will be revealed any day now and will break the internet
gt63 and so cheap xd
This has to be one of the most beautiful foor door cars ever.
Elegant and fluid.
Love it
VAG fans...
10:58 and 18:00 the carbon fiber interior trim is standard on the RS5. the $5,500 carbon fiber package is for the exterior trim pieces, not the interior.
11:36 the slot is for the key fob
I came here to say the key fob slot too!
Stunning. And props for hard buttons and dials for climate and other things.
I own the exact spec of that car,but I bought mine new in 2021,love the car,now it's moded whith cf brixton wheels,air intake 034 springs and anti sway bars,and adjustable billet links
I have an A6 and im so mad at myself for not going after the A5 sportback. It has perfect proportions
This car is my top pick for a daily driver that also feeds my car nut soul. You do the best all encompassing reviews UA-cam. I'm a design freak first, and a performance freak really close second. You cover those two with perfection. ✌️
Audi always delivers......
Bmw designers, sit down, take notes, ya dorks
Audi hasn't changed the overall design since 2009. What to take notes about?
@@DMCarReviews So changing into uglier is better than slightly changing into beauty?
@@diego432hz Who is changing into uglier? That's just your perspective.
😆
BMW: Wah? You don't like our mismatch front and rear? It's gives it personality.
Very nice review of the aesthetic design/styling.
Funny how many reviewers don't realize the odd little storage slot on the console is sized to hold the Audi key.
Beautiful styling, beautiful color,! Zero to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds. Hope this is DSG.
Audi got this right, in addition to the 2007 (MTM) B7 RS4.
ZF8, not DSG.
The everyday vehicle for people with enough money 😂
Making the top of the headlight being a straight line made a big difference
Love the car but I think the dynamic and design package should be standard on an RS vehicle…these manufacturers really squeeze every penny they can out of you.
It`s a shame that the screen is not retractable like in older A6-7
Agree, either retractable or integrated like the new A3 (the mini Etron GT interior look)
The small pocket in 11:45 is for the RS5 Key
How is the interior noise? Im looking at this for a daily driver for my wife. Im wondering if it is too powerful, especially in the winter. Found a great deal on a 2019. Any advice would be great. Thanks
Great review! Interesting dealer spec on this RS5 for $92k. Noticed that it didn’t have the drivers assistance package which doesn’t give it the HUD/360 camera/navigation/radar cruise. I have this package on mine and can’t imagine not having it, especially if you plan on having this as your daily. Would definitely forgo the carbon pack for the driver assistance pack if anyone is in the market for one. Pretty sure it’s the same price too.
yup. this package should be mandatory tbh wish they just made it standard and bumped the base price up accordingly
Their packaging sucks..heated seats only instead having cooled seats included....then sum of the materials are VW plasticky..audio system sucks and expensive parts to maintain with this price point..overall good car 🚗 😊
Agree with you on the tradeoff Michael... the driver package is far more useful than the cosmetic package. Pleased that my 21 has both lol. 🙏
@@johnblack4915 I agree with this too... "Cadillac prices with Cobalt plastic" is simply not as real as we've been told the last 15 years. My MB was full of junk, Alfa's dealer network sucks & I had good experiences with an S4 & S5, so I landed on the RS5 most recently; I could never abide a BMW interior & that goes back quite a ways (1985-September 2023) when my friends' parents drove them & my dad drove a Dodge lol.
Anyway, the wear on the leather & alcantara is >>>> than my MB.... but it's still awfully plasticky lol. No, the quality of the synthetic materials is not greatly improved over my CTS-vSport. To wit, the Guilia QV had the brightest, shiniest, finger-printiest, lowest-quality feel of any car I owned since a 03 Neon, but no one complains about that interior. Bc we all keep telling ourselves "it's only about the motor + the handling, that's all that matters in this bracket". 🙄🤦♂
i like 2019 interior better @@johnblack4915
That "little slot where you can't even fit a pen" is for your key fob. ;)
Great review 👌🏼
That curvature you gor rid of in the headlights is what I like the most of the frot of the car.
I'm so bored of most cars trying to look agressive and mean. I think beauty is not that, that is just a product of the society we live in.
Usually agree with you though.
Product of too much hollywood action movies with a "tough guy" as main character.
never knew about some of the described details 😃
Hi!I have purchased the course a few months ago, but I can't find the website entrance because I deleted my bookmarks. How can I access the course website?
Kindly do a design review of hopium machina vision. Its a hydrogen car
I’ll pick this one over the Mercedes c63 and the bmw m3
M3 comp or rs5 comp ?!?!?
Me gusta Audi para Betti
The slot is for your key fob.
Not having ventilated seats at this price point is a real shame. I mean, cmon Audi. U got heated and massaged seats but not ventilated??
The only reason anyone would chose a sedan over a much sporty coupe is because they have family and don’t have any choice, or lack of taste in cars 👍😅
Fake air vents never look good. Like fake chest hair.
Nice Car but wish the had put a v8 in there
That “what the hell just stick the screen on top of the dash” totally ruins the interior. Hard pass
Whe you got a car with an engine that produces 444hp you know you got money to waste.
Would be an even better video in 4K.
This shit sounds quiet I've dynamic. Poo poo
I like this car, but in this gray with black interior it's a really boring spec
The BMW M340i for 30K less is just as fast, has the way better and more advanced tech, and includes maintenance. It also handles like a sports car thanks to its rwd bias. The only difference is the M340i has no lag off the line (when LC is not used), whereas as floor Audi's pedal, you have a second of a wait while you start getting up to speed. The screen is pretty small and doesn't have physical controls, which the BMW does. The seats are sporty, but not meant for longer trips. While this is the best-looking Audi in the lineup, it's still fundamentally not much visually different from the A5/S5.
The RS5 Sportback is like a compact Panamera with the same engine. This car is way more luxurious and still significantly faster than the M340i. I see five M340’s a day and they don’t stick out AT ALL. Also RWD biased and does have physical buttons for A/C and seat controls that are a lot nicer. Plus has a full hatch instead of trunk for way more room. Being half a second quicker to 60 plus massage honeycomb stitched seats should tell you everything you need to know about the RS5 lol
@Stefano Marcellino How is it much faster? That's b.s. The M340i does 3.9 seconds and this does 3.8 seconds from launch control. Both run about 12s on the 1/4 mile. They are a few tenths apart at most (I am using the RS5 coupe times), which I can't even count because that is down to so many factors such as fuel, rims, driver weight. The passing times aren't faster either. From idle, the BMW will dust it. The off the line lag in the Audi is terrible when LC is not engaged. This also doesn't have physical dials and a small outdated screen. If you want to stand out get the M440i Gran Coupe. I also see the A5/S5 daily. The RS5 is still the same body style. The M340 is a stealthy weapon. Looks calm, but it will make your Audi try😂 No one cares about the stiching pattern of the seats. They are not even that comfortable. They drive into your armpits and wear you out fast. I owned a 2021. So again, how is it better? Care to explain with facts?
@@DMCarReviews the M340i is not any wider than a regular 330i. The RS5 has wider wheel fenders and a wider track than a A5/S5 to accommodate for larger tires and brakes. So regardless of our opinion the RS5 has a much sportier set up. The M340 has standard brakes and cannot be optioned with carbon ceramics unlike the RS5 which has 6 piston calipers as standard and carbon ceramic as an option. At 11:03 he mentions the seats and stitching which you claim no one cares about but its a huge detail. It says RS5 on the seat and everything is wrapped in carbon fiber. Combine that with massage seats and better materials its waaay more luxurious. The M340 doesn’t even have carbon fiber as an interior option. At 9:50 those are physical buttons and again better material. Audi claims 0-60 in 3.8 but dragy data shows stock RS5s are actually capable of 0-60 in 3.3 and 1/4 mile in 11.4 which is over half a second quicker in a car thats a lot more luxurious.
I have a ‘21 RS5 sport back. No one buying an RS5 is cross-shopping it with an M340. M3 absolutely, was in the market for one but with LA roads I found the RS5 ride significantly better than the M3 for daily driving. I will give you that the M3 x drive outperforms the RS5 in most performance categories but I personally think the RS5 is much better looking and comfortable imo. The differences between an RS5 and S5 in person is quite significant, the bulged out fenders add presence and the car is noticeably lower. Night and day differences in person. I’ve also raced a handful of M340’s and I’ve easily beaten them off the line. On a rolling 40 it was much closer, but was still able to pull out ahead by half a car length. Tuned M340’s are a different story, I’ll admit defeat against those, but my RS5 is still stock. To each their own, but again I think people who are shopping for a newer RS5 aren’t cross shopping with an M340, and if they are - they shouldn’t be looking at an RS5 in the first place.
I owned a 2020 M340i xDrive and sold it for a 2019 RS5 Sportback and now I'm in a 2022 RS5 Sportback. The M340i is nice but the RS5 is in another league and it feels special to drive. It looks way more aggressive in person as well (low, wide) whereas the M340i looks no different from a 330i with the M Sport appearance package. Even for the extra money, I would take the RS5 all day every day over the M340i. Don't get me wrong, I do love the M340i and think it's one of BMW's best overall packages.
I would rather have a Toyota Corolla even it it cost me $90,000. Read the reviews the latest Corolla is actually faster 0-60, top speed and better handling! Also the new design is more sporty than the Audi.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nice try....
