Comparison: Boot space Audi A5 vs. competitors 2025

How much cargo can handle this Schrägheck?

Ah, the Audi A5, a masterstroke of German engineering with lines sharper than a samurai sword and an interior more comfortable than your living room. But we're not here to wax lyrical about the luxurious upholstery or tech wizardry; no, today we're talking about something far more prosaic but equally important: the boot space. Whether you're a weekend warrior with an addiction to Ikea or a golf enthusiast trying to squeeze in every last club, you'll want to know if the A5's boot is up to the task.

Audi A5 - How has the boot space changed over the generations?

Through the years, the slick and sporty A5 hasn't been fickle with its boot dimensions. Between 2007 and 2019, spanning the first and second generations, it boasted a consistent 480 liters, much like a steadfast friend you can rely on to help you move house. Yet, in the gentle facelift of 2020, the A5 trimmed its boot to 465 liters. Is it a deal-breaker? Highly unlikely. The difference is less than the size of a watermelon, and you can still fold those rear seats down to make room for a not-so-miniature fridge or a battalion of flat-pack furniture with 1280 liters of cargo glory.

The boot space compared to other Audi models

In the grand lineup of Audi's family, the A5 lords above many with its generous trunk space. Even the feisty hot hatch, the RS3, and its corporate cousin, the stylish S3, can merely gawk in envy with substantially less room for your groceries or grand tour getaway bags. Surprisingly, even the compact A1 variants couldn't nip at the A5's heels. But when you gaze upwards to the chariot of the gods, the A8, or the hulking mastodon of luxury SUVs, the Q7, the A5 bows graciously with its more modest offering. Yet, it still strikes a fine balance between being a versatile carrier and a city-slick coupé.

How does the boot space of the Audi A5 compare to it's nearest competitors?

How does the A5 hold up against the competition, you ask? If we take a casual stroll through the land of high-performance cars and illustrious SUVs, the A5 holds its ground fiercely. Vehicles like the Ferrari Portofino flutter around with a mere 292 liters - barely enough for a violin case let alone a quartet. Even the gallant Bentley Bentayga, which possesses a boot fit for a queen's consort, can't muster the versatility of the folded rear seats trick. And if we must bring the mighty Lamborghini Urus into the conversation, the battle is won not by capacitive brute force but by urban maneuverability and sleek, coupé lines. When the dust settles, the A5 is overshadowed by juggernauts like the Urus or the swanky Genesis G80, but in the world of suave, sporty coupés, it staunchly defends its cargo-hauling honor with aplomb.
