Overview

The 2016 Audi S5 Coupe makes for an excellent contender in the midsize coupe class. With two trims on offer, the Audi S5 Coupe has a base MSRP of $53,100 competing directly with the BMW 4 Series Coupe, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class E400 Coupe, and the Cadillac ATS Performance Coupe. 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 10 stunning colors, with the Misano Red Pearl being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The Audi S5 Coupe is available in two trim levels, with the base trim sufficing well for most customers. Get a scintillating look by pairing it with the new Black Optic Package and the optional 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission will only enhance the driving experience.
