How spacious is the rear seating area of the Audi S5?

Audi S5 offers excellent rear seating space. A tester with a height of 172 cm entered the rear of the vehicle. After adjusting the seating position, there was approximately four fingers' worth of headroom, while legroom remained at about two fists' distance. The legroom is quite adequate, making it very comfortable for a coupe. More details about the Audi S5 are as follows: As a high-performance coupe, the Audi S5 pushes its sporty characteristics into a new realm. Externally, the Audi S5 features seven grayish-white "steel teeth" embedded in the S-series front grille, which is a signature look of the S-series. The aluminum-finished exterior mirror housings, body-colored sill lines, and the dual exhaust system with three oval tailpipes all consistently highlight the S5's sporty demeanor.

I've been driving an Audi S5 for a while, and the rear seat space is quite average. For an average-sized adult like myself at 175cm tall, the legroom is about 35 inches, which is barely enough to stretch out. However, the rear seat cushions are relatively short and lack support, making it uncomfortable as there's no place to rest the knees. Headroom is even more of an issue, with less than 30 inches under the sloping roofline. Taller friends around 180cm will find their heads touching the roof after a short while, which feels quite cramped. When traveling with family, kids are fine, but two adults in the back will start complaining quickly. It's not recommended for long trips. For daily short commutes or quick rides with friends, it's acceptable, but if you frequently carry passengers, you might want to consider a larger SUV. The upside is the refined interior, which gives a premium feel, though practicality takes a hit.

From the perspective of prioritizing driving pleasure, the rear seats of the Audi S5 aren't the main focus. Designers prioritized sporty curves and handling—that sleek fastback looks stunning, but it sacrifices rear headroom, with specs showing just over 29 inches, shorter than some family sedans I've driven. At 175cm tall, I felt cramped inside, with my head brushing against the roof lining and legs having to sit at an angle. However, as a coupe, the rear seats were never meant to be its selling point. They’re manageable for occasional use with kids or short trips with friends, making it ideal for singles or young couples.

The rear seat space of the Audi S5 is moderate but on the smaller side. Legroom is around 34 inches, and headroom is 29 inches, making it much more compact compared to a standard A6 or Q5. From my own experience sitting in the back, adults can manage but it's tight—a 175cm tall person's knees will lightly touch the front seatbacks, and getting in and out is slightly cumbersome. It's fine for kids, as child seats can be installed, but two adults squeezed together would feel quite cramped. If you frequently carry passengers, an SUV like the Q7 offers much more spacious accommodations.
