Redline Reviews gives the 2024 Audi RS5 Sportback Competition a strong positive rating of 84/100, praising its exceptional performance with a 3.6-second 0-60 time from a 444-hp twin-turbo V6, outstanding value at $79,900 with the Competition package adding just $1,700 for direct steering and coilover suspension, and impressive fuel efficiency averaging 24 mpg highway and 17 mpg mixed despite lacking a hybrid system. The design impresses with its Sebring Black Pearl color looking like indigo blue in sunlight and matte carbon fiber Competition accents, while the Sportback's 22 cubic feet of cargo space and Google Earth-equipped GPS display enhance practicality and tech appeal. The main weakness lies in driving assistance technology (62/100), notably the lack of remote start via key fob that competitors now offer. This is the ultimate sports sedan for drivers prioritizing performance, everyday usability, and aggressive styling over cutting-edge driver assistance features.
