2024 Audi S5

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 S5.

Transmission Automatic (S8)

The 2024 Audi S5 is a performance-oriented sedan equipped with an automatic transmission (the S8), delivering EPA-estimated fuel economy of 20 mpg city, 27 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined, positioning it competitively within its segment for efficiency alongside its performance credentials; this model year reflects a notable improvement in owner satisfaction, as the 2024 recorded just 2 total complaints—down significantly from the historical peak of 26 in 2018 and even below the historically low baseline of 1 complaint in 2016—with zero recalls and the primary concern limited to airbags, suggesting this iteration benefits from refined build quality and represents one of the most reliable points in the S5's model history for prospective buyers prioritizing dependability.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2024 Audi S5 shows a very light federal complaint footprint: only two complaint areas are recorded—Air Bags and Forward Collision Avoidance, one each—with zero crash and zero fire complaints. However, 2024 is absent from the year-by-year federal record, so direct comparison to adjacent model years is not available from that dataset. Across the generation, the federal record shows relatively low activity through 2017, a pronounced spike in complaints and recalls from 2018 through 2021 (peaking at five recalls in 2021 and 25–26 complaints in 2018 and 2020), then noticeably lower figures in 2023 and 2025. Given that the target-year data place 2024 in that same post-peak, low-complaint window, it sits near the calmer end of the generational arc. Because the available federal data show minimal complaints and no crash or fire reports, this appears to be a favorable year to buy, though the missing year-by-year entry means the comparison is less complete than for surrounding years.
