What the Audi A5 sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the A5, latest tested year 2026:
The label also prints an estimated $2,950 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 352 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the A5 under Subcompact Cars, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the A5's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 2008 to 2026. Worth checking before you compare a A5 sticker from one year with another:
Over that span the combined figure rose by 5 mpg, so an early sticker and a recent one describe noticeably different cars. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.
Safety ratings printed on the label
The second required block: NHTSA's five-star crash results. This is what the A5 sticker carries as of its 2025 rating:
Stars are awarded per test, so a car can hold five overall and fewer for rollover — tall vehicles usually give ground there. Compare against every rated model in the safest cars ranking.

Where to find the VIN on a Audi A5
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every A5, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Audi A5 all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Audi A5 whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
