The Audi S5 is the warm, quick version of the A5, and yes, you can rent the Audi S5 in Dubai with us, delivered and collected at no extra cost. We hand it over with the Salik tag fitted and insurance already sorted, so you drive off the moment we meet you. It sits in a useful spot in the Audi range. The S5 gives you proper pace and quattro all-wheel drive without the RS5's stiff ride and thirst, and it leaves a plain A5 well behind on a clear stretch of Sheikh Zayed Road. If you want speed you can use every day, this is the one to take.
Why the S5 is the sweet spot, not the RS5
The RS5 is the louder, harder, more focused car, and it's a treat for a weekend you've planned around the drive. But it rides firm, it draws attention, and it costs more to run. Most renters don't need that edge.
The S5 carries a turbocharged V6 making around 349 horsepower, paired with quattro, and it'll do roughly nought to 100 in about 4.5 seconds. That's quick enough to settle any overtake on the way to Abu Dhabi and quick enough to be fun on the Jebel Hafeet climb. The difference from the RS5 is how it behaves the rest of the time. The S5 stays quiet, the ride takes a speed bump or a rough patch of road without thumping, and it's happy crawling through Marina traffic on a Thursday evening.
Compared with a standard A5, the gap is pace, and it's real. The A5 is a fine cruiser. The S5 adds the V6 and the grip that turn a long highway run into something you actually enjoy. Take the S5 if the driving matters to you. Take the A5 if it genuinely doesn't.
Coupe or Sportback: which body to pick
We keep both shapes in the fleet, and the choice comes down to one thing: how often you carry rear passengers and luggage.
The Sportback has four usable doors and a hatchback boot that opens wide, so two adults can sit in the back for a run to Abu Dhabi without folding themselves in. The coupe looks cleaner and the roofline is lower, but the rear seats suit a short hop more than a full day out, and the doors are long, which matters in a tight mall bay.
For a couple travelling light or a solo driver who wants the prettier car, take the coupe. For two up front with friends in the back now and then, or a weekend bag plus airport pickup, the Sportback earns its keep. Both share the same engine and the same drive, so you lose nothing on pace either way.
Living with it day to day
This is where the S5 makes its case. Quattro means it puts the power down cleanly, which you notice pulling out of a junction in summer when the tarmac is loose and baking. The cabin cools fast, and in a Dubai July that's not a small thing when the car has been sitting in open parking for an hour. The seats hold you on a fast corner but stay comfortable on a long sit in traffic.
It's an easy car to place in a city, too. The S5 is compact enough for Marina parking and the multi-storey bays at the malls, with light steering at low speed and good visibility forward. You won't fight it the way you might a bigger performance saloon.
One honest caveat: the boot is sized for a sports coupe, not an estate. Two soft weekend bags and a couple of carry-ons fit fine. A full family's worth of hard suitcases will have you folding a rear seat, and the coupe is tighter again than the Sportback. Tell us the trip when you book and we'll point you at the right body.
Picking it up
We deliver across Dubai, including to DXB and DWC arrivals, your hotel, or a residential address. When we meet you, the Salik tag is already on the windscreen and the car comes with a full tank. We walk you through the controls in a couple of minutes, the drive modes included, since the S5's comfort setting is the one most renters want and not always the default. Salik gate charges run through the tag and settle on your account, so you're not stopping or topping anything up mid-trip. When you're done, we collect from wherever suits you.
FAQ — Common Questions Answered.
Should I rent the S5 or the RS5 in Dubai?
Rent the S5 if you want quick and comfortable rather than hard and loud. The RS5 is the sharper, more focused car with a firmer ride and higher running costs, and it shines on a drive you've planned for. The S5 gives you genuine pace from its turbo V6 and quattro grip while staying easy to live with in traffic and on long highway runs. For most trips, including the daily commute and a weekend to Abu Dhabi, the S5 is the smarter choice.
Is the S5 worth it over a standard A5?
Yes, if the driving matters to you. The A5 is a comfortable cruiser, but the S5 adds the turbocharged V6, more power, and quattro all-wheel drive, so it pulls hard when you ask and holds the road on a fast sweep. You'll feel the difference every time you overtake on Sheikh Zayed Road or climb Jebel Hafeet. If you mostly potter around the city and never push on, the A5 will do the job for less.
Coupe or Sportback: which S5 should I book?
Book the Sportback if you'll carry rear passengers or more luggage, and the coupe if it's mostly one or two of you and you want the sharper looks. The Sportback has four doors and a wide hatchback boot, so adults can sit in the back comfortably and bags load easily. The coupe is the better-looking car but has a lower roof, longer doors, and tighter rear seats. Both use the same engine and quattro drive, so the performance is identical.
Is the S5 comfortable enough for daily driving in Dubai?
It is, and that's the point of the car. The ride absorbs speed bumps and rough patches without the harshness you get from a full RS model, the cabin cools quickly in summer heat, and the seats stay comfortable in slow Marina traffic. It's compact enough for mall parking with light low-speed steering. The boot is modest, so pack soft bags for longer trips or take the Sportback.
Who can drive a rental S5 in Dubai?
You can drive it on a valid UAE licence if you're a resident, or on your home licence with an International Driving Permit if you're a visitor from most countries. Tourists from a number of nations can also drive on their national licence alone, and we'll confirm your case when you book. You'll need to be over the minimum age our insurance sets for a performance car, so check with us first. Salik tolls and any traffic fines run through the car and settle on your account.
