What's New in the 2019 Audi S5?
The S5 Coupe starts out with a new entry level Premium trim. Standard equipment is redistributed among what is now three trim levels for the coupe. Audi has also adopted a new method for quoting horsepower. The 2018 S5 had 354 horsepower, but this year's model has 349. No revisions to the engine have taken place and torque figures are unaffected. See the 2019 Audi S5 models for sale near you
Which S5 is the Best?
Either take advantage of a new, less expensive version of the S5 coupe by buying it in Premium trim, or go the whole way and get the Prestige model. The latter is attractive because of its extra driver aids and B&O audio system. Find an Audi S5 for sale
