2015 Audi A5 vs 2016 Audi A5

Two adjacent model years of the Audi A5, side by side. Every figure is a raw NHTSA/EPA count — not normalised by how many were sold.

Side by side: identical recall campaigns (3 each), and 2016 A5 has fewer recorded owner complaints (7 vs 9). Neither has NHTSA crash ratings, and neither has EPA fuel-economy data in our dataset.

How to read this

  • A green check marks the lower raw count — fewer recorded issues, not a declared winner.
  • Complaint totals are not normalised by vehicle population; a big-seller shows more of everything.
  • Where a rating or EPA record is absent, that is missing data — not evidence of safety.
