What transmission does the Audi A5 use?
2 Answers
Audi A5 uses a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The transmission is a mechanism used to change the speed and torque from the engine, which can fix or change the transmission ratio between the output shaft and the input shaft in steps. Taking the Audi A5 2021 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4765mm, width 1843mm, height 1358mm, wheelbase 2826mm, fuel tank capacity 54l, and luggage compartment capacity 480l. The Audi A5 2021 model is equipped with a 2.0t turbocharged engine, with a maximum power speed of 4200 to 6000rpm and a maximum torque speed of 1450 to 4200rpm.
When driving my Audi A5, the transmission feels incredibly smooth—it uses the S tronic dual-clutch gearbox, typically with 7 or 8 speeds. Whether cruising in the city or accelerating on the highway, gear shifts are almost seamless, with quick response times, especially in Sport mode, where it drives like a race car—full of excitement. Maintenance-wise, regular transmission fluid changes can extend its lifespan, though the cost is higher than manual transmissions. Overall, this transmission makes the A5 agile and fuel-efficient. I’d recommend it to friends who love driving fun, but don’t fall for cheap deals in the used market—stick with the original for reliability.
