Overview

The 2020 Audi S5 Coupe makes for an excellent contender in the compact coupe. With 3 trims on offer, the Audi S5 Coupe has a base MSRP of $52,895, with prices going all the way up to MSRP $61,295, competing directly with the BMW 4 Series, the Mercedes-Benz AMG C 43 Coupe, and the Infiniti Q60 Red Sport 400. Only a 3.0L turbocharged V6 engine is offered, mated to an 8-Speed Automatic transmission. Together, they produce 349 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.3 seconds, the S5 Coupe maintains a combined fuel economy of 23 MPG. Audi offers the S5 Coupe in 9 stunning colors, with the Tango Red Metallic being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The Audi S5 Coupe enters 2020 with updated styling and an all-new infotainment system. There are three trims on offer and we recommend the mid-level Premium Plus trim that offers good value.
