Overview

The 2015 Audi S5 Coupe makes for an excellent contender in the midsize coupe class. With two trims on offer, the 2015 Audi S5 Coupe has a base MSRP of $53,100 competing directly with the BMW 4 Series 435i and Mercedes-Benz C350. Only a 3.0L supercharged V6 engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission while there is an optional 7-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 333 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.6 seconds, the Audi S5 Coupe maintains a combined fuel economy of 20 MPG. Audi offers the S5 Coupe in more than 16 stunning colors, with the Brilliant Red being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The base trim level offers the best value, while the Prestige Package provides the most features. With standard features such as adaptive headlights, a 14-speaker system by Bang & Olufsen, etc, and eligible for optional adaptive cruise control and steering assist, we recommend settling down for the Prestige trim.
