2018 Audi S5 Sportback Prestige S-sport Quick Drive and Price

- I check out the 4-door 2018 Audi S5 Sportback with S sport package, which is a hybrid combination of the S4 sedan and S5 coupe. This prestige trim is a fully-loaded head-turner. Its twin-scroll turbo charged V6 produces more power than the supercharged V6 in the A7. Naturally, this S5 includes quattro awd. This S5 is a sportier version of the 2018 A5 Sportback • 2018 Audi A5 Sportback... .

Great review! I pick mine up on Saturday!
+Matty G Thanks and congrats!
Mine is coming in July.
Nice, 3 more weeks and mine while arrive. I ordered the Prestige 2 door Coupe.
Nice. Im like 1 1/2 months away. Sport back Prestige
Cool, what color? I went with the Daytona grey pearl with magma red seats with sport package ( red brakes etc .)
Just got this exact same car (same color...same trim level...same options) great car and a great choice. Always smile every time I get into it.
They did a great job with the styling on this model.
“Gas is so cheap”. This aged nicely haha
Let's go Brandon!
I have never wanted a car so bad before!
+Jonathan Campbell I feel the same way about a Porsche Turbo and Audi RS3.
I really enjoyed both your A5 Sportback and S5 Sportback reviews. Big thumbs up!!!
Actually has launch control; traction in sport, in dynamic and/or sport, auto stop off, press brake (FULLY) down for atleast 1 sec, floor accelerator completely, release brake to go (within 5 secs). Have fun.
Great video & review as always! That is one seriously nice looking car!!
What an absolute beauty of a car
I'm having a 2012 TTS which i'm so in love with but since I have a baby coming, I may need to think about a family car. S5 sportback is just amazing.
I drive a 2017 A5 Quattro in the same scuba blue, lovely car. This is definitely the next step for me....Cant wait!
Got the exact make as you're riding in now. My favourite features are the ambient lighting and the "kick" boot opener. Especially since you can close it as well. Love it so much, I just drive around aimlessly often haha.
By the way, love your review and driving you have a subscriber and a like.
+The Dudette. Congrats! Thanks for watching. Love the feedback!
Nice driving, it's why I subscribed lol. You don't bs around with the test drive
+Scott Watkins Thanks! You should see my R8 video czcams.com/video/cOpQzlPbQic/video.html
just bought one and thank you for the insight!!
Congrats!
I'm taking delivery of mine in this exact color -Premium Plus- in Ingolstadt in a month!! Sept 15th!!! Can't wait!!!!!!!
+Tyrell Jenkins Congrats!
Great review and agree, the sportback is one nice looking car. I like to drive one and compare it to my AMG C43, not as nice exterior styling and no virtual cockpit, but has a little more power than the S5. I hate the auto-start/stop and the C43 also defaults to on for every mode except sport +.
Awesome video, I'm looking to get one of these. You made the choice easier haha.
Cool guy. Very engaging and enlightening videos, never boring.
Good. 😍
Good review i pick up my black s5 sportback next saturday. Its only done 9000 miles since 2018!!
Be sure to check the tires for dry rot.
@@RoadandTract cheers all tyres are new
Amazing car the turbo system on Audi's is amazing
Dude love your videos. I also have red driving shoes. Please review the 2018 a8 and 2018 a6 next
I'm still painfully undecided between the S4 and the S5. I've been spoiled by the A4 visibility and concerned about the slope back of the S5. I have also heard the RS4 wagon might be coming to the states by next year. Talk about the ultimate vehicle. Regardless, great review - thank you.
I loved this quick video man. Thanks so much for it. This color, both interior and exterior, model and spec (Prestige) is EXACTLY the one I’m after. I won’t be in the market until early 2022 but I would really like to know how much would this lose in depreciation when it’s 3 to 4 years old? I’m definitely adding this video to my playlist that I have created to keep me motivated to buy this car. I learned a few things from watching it. Like how the Prestige trim gets you options that are otherwise “hidden”. So I thank you very much.
These have dropped in value so hard, you'll lose $20k in the first week you drive it off the lot. You don't need to wait to 2022 to get one for a good price. Get an audi cpo used one just before New Year's day and you will gave a decent deal.
@@RoadandTract Other things going on in life that has me waiting. Plus I want this same model and year for no more than 35. That's why I said 2022. It's only 14 mos away.
Awesome video, I need a detailed comprehensive comparison of both AUDI 2018 (A5 & S5) , can u do that, or refer me to existing video (if there is any !)
Love it, starts the car up and floors it directly before the car has reached operating temp and then people bitch about Audi quality when they break down.
Do you live in the fucking 1970's? Grow a pair and drive like a man. We are at peak engines and wussies like you will end up in EVs because you don't understand MODERN engineering. Go away.
Damn just found your new channel after having followed you on Diesel Review. You might remember me as you made a video about the B&O in your A6 :D
Of course I remember! Thanks for making it over to New Car Spin, I'm glad you're here!
Awesome car, right colour too, I'd take one with the sport diff and adaptive suspension
great review
Thanks!
I fallow in love with this car.regards from Bosnia and Herzegovina
awesome video, subbed.
+Sori amidi Thank you!
just got a Gotland Green S5 Sportbk ...all key options. BMW feels 15 yrs old compared to this car. 4th Audi, 1st S -- love it!!
Very stylish! (shoes!)
Love the shoes
fun hot car, great review
Beautiful car! 😀
How many liter is the piston on this amazing Piece of Sport Mobile
love this !
Looking forward to the night light addendum
I love those shoes I have them in three colors.
Is this the model with the +$1,150 Dynamic Steering?
Interesting how the US spec has body-coloured door handles, where as the UK/Europe one has chrome door handles. Wonder why they've changed it.
p.s. I'm thinking tango red with black interior. Is the leather upgrade worth it? I'm just seeking a base model for everyday driving, no commuting! Would have settled for the A5 but you can't get the "hot" red on it any more like last year's misano pearl!
Always take the option. That's how I roll.
When I did a test drive there’s a big turbo lag which make me feel really disappointed
This is the 2nd best daily driver ever! The best of course is the convertible version.
Love the color I prefer this over A6
so whats the deal with vehicle break in? are dealerships exempt from it? i remember test driving the s3 and beating the hell out of it and the salesman is like 'go faster!'. that was fun but when we got back i bought a different s3. part of me feels like modern cars are pretty much ready to go but another part of me, which read the manual, feels like you should take it easy on a brand new car. especially one with 55 miles on it.
New cars are basically "broken in" at the factory. I saw it myself when I visited the BMW plant in South Carolina: czcams.com/video/DEyHrDwM45Q/video.html
In regards to the Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 and the Audi S5 which is more fun to drive?
+Monrowe Toussaint The twin turbo Infiniti is faster and can be had in rear wheel drive. Depreciation may be about the same. The S5 has more tech. I guess it comes down to my mantra: There are two types of buyers. Those who buy the car, and those who buy the deal. The Q50 will cost less that the S5.
I have a 2014 S3, do you think the back seats of the S5 sportback have more space for two adults 5.10, 6 feet tall?
We didn't get the S3 in the US until 2015. If you have the 8v A3/S3 sedan, I can tell you there might not be as much headroom in the sportback compared to my 2015 A3. The back seat may be wider in the sportback, but the S5 seats might occupy legroom from the rear seat. I don't use the back seats (when testing). Thanks for watching.
it.s about time Audi
I saw the this one has the dynamic steering option which I am curious to know if it improve the numb and light steering feel of new S4 I test drove recently.
+The Wisdom of the FlashGordon Electronic steering is very prone to tire pressure response. How do you know the S4 wasn't inflated to the max? Audi publishes two different psi suggestions. The placard on the door silk is Max pressure. If the S4 you drove was set to that, the steering would feel artificial. Some dealers set to Max psi to avoid flat spots. I didn't drive the S4 yet.
That is good info! so this Sportback steering was good?
It dialed in just fine on my drive. I was in dynamic mode most of the time. It certainly didn't understeer. But I haven't driven the S4 yet so I cannot give you a comparison. It would seem logical that there's slightly more weight on the S5 SB rear end due to the hatch design. That might help with the typical nose-heavy, engine forward Audi setup.
Here's my take on dynamic steering on the S4 czcams.com/video/rV9WOnbIh6o/video.html
I like this dude. And I own this car. Sub
this car is boss ^.^
In my dream
my dream car....
Wait for the RS5 Sportback.
Damn!...
Wish the blue color was a bit more bright like the ones they showed on the blogs.
+Comson Chen I agree.
it does lighten up in the sun . beautiful colour
Something that bothers me with the A5 is that you can't get a flat bottom steering wheel. It means a lot for that sportiness feeling. I hope their 2019 model year will fix this like they did with their 2018 A4
In Canada, you get the flat bottom steering wheel with the S Line package.
Unfortunately bottom steering isn't heated. which is a perk very important in canada (the snowy areas :))
What was your MSRP roughly if you don't mind me asking? + province. thinking about going to the dealer soon
My 2017 S5 has flat-bottomed as standard.
This is only for the US A5. Canada has the option which is odd since both markets share the same Audis
I makes no sense, i hate flat-bottom steering wheels. Al they do is piss me off.
How tall are you. I am 6'1 and wanted to get an idea of how I would fit in the S% Sportback. Love the exhaust note it has.
You'll be just fine. The S5 has sport seats without an adjustable headrest. However, it's likely that nobody will be able to sit behind you.
Thank you for the information. Great job on the videos my friend.
Is the difference between S4 and S5 only that S5 is a hatchback? Or are their many more differences?
There are three S5 models. Traditionally, the S5 was always a 2-door coupe and cabriolet. Now there's a 4-door coupe as well.
Just ordered one in glacier white metallic yesterday!!
Glenn Perrin Same here last week! The coupe. When's yours arriving?
有没有会说中文的，真喜欢。

There IS a lunch control for the S5 SB model. Still, great video
+sebast007 It's not a dual clutch auto.
How does lunch control work? At 12 pm you get a message in the displays: "Hey buddy, time to eat", or what xD
Hahaha! Sorry for my bad english lol. I meant launch
Funny, though xD
Do the mirrors automatically fold/unfold when the car is locked/unlocked?
Yes. Standard on prestige trim.
New Car Spin Thanks the quick reply! 👌🏾
Which would you choose......this or 2019 A7?
A7.Same engine. Different packaging.
This car are made in US? Cause its a lot cheaper than we have in Middle East!
Back when gas wasn't as expensive as your freakin rent...gonna get that car soon tho, can't wait😏😏
It's still cheaper than a gallon if milk. Or a latte at any mediocre coffee shop.
How is this car compare to the q50 red sport 400?
Good question.The Q50 Red Sport 400 costs less than any of the competitors. The Q50 also has more power to weight. czcams.com/video/SPz3whzSAcU/video.html
So just base on performance, which one is more fun to drive? I saw your other review on the red sport last time and it was impressive
Fun? Q50 Red Sport 400. Practical? Q5 Sportback. I'd lean toward the Q5 Sportback if I was needing something like an SUV but not an SUV. The Q50 is much less expensive, can be had in RWD or AWD, and has a different vibe. The Audi interior is better, but I actually like the dual screen setup on the Q50. I don't like the foot pedal parking brake and the old style door locks on the Q50. I dislike the air vent in the passenger side of the dash on the Q5. The Q5 Sportback is going to be more capable for daily use and have the better interior. But for performance, the Q50 is going to be $10k less and it will be fun as long as you avoid direct adaptive steering. A base Q50 Red Sport 400 with navigation would be all I need, whereas a Q5 Sportback Prestige is the other way - but you're talking about spending $15k more than the Q50.
I think you meant S5. Not Q5 right?
Yes, S5 is what I meant. Sorry.
No one uses the word Alacrity without playing Everquest
Didn’t know Peter Griffin did car reviews...
That's why you should like and subscribe. Hahaha ha.
@@RoadandTract Touché, My friend. I will just for the great attitude!
Anyone get an S5 with Alcantara seating yet? I need to see some vids!
Picking mine up this week. 20k off what these guys paid!
What kind of deals are you getting on the S5 ?How much off msrp? In the NE most dealers will not budge off of only $1,000-$1,500 off msrp ! I found one that will take $3,500!
You won't see any at dealerships. Audi is probably only allocating 30-90 A5 and S5 sportbacks to each dealer through the end of this year, and only 6-10 out of that may be the S5. At that rate, MSRP should be about as good as it gets... and your worst case scenario.
i was offered 1000 over invoice
???? Don't get ripped off !!
My local dealer initally offered $1K off list and whe I asked to speak to the owner, it was bumped up to $1,500. When I priced around within a 50-75 mile radius, I rec'd offers of $1,500 to $3,500, in writing and without even visiting dealers! I went back to my local (small volume dealer) and presented my case and they were willing to match the $3,500 even on an ordered car! I was told that the local owners got together and mutually agreed to only discount the vehicle by $1,000. I don't know if that is price fixing! I'm going to order the coupe, in a very base version, only option, the paint! I would suggest asking for some on-line prices. I also live in NYC area, so there are many dealers. Maybe some didn't get the memo?
The pope wears Balenciaga ,that gas comment was sarcasm right?
Hafta buy them red shoes!
Nearly $70k and they couldn't toss in rear heated seats? The plebs
It does have rear heated seats
"gass is so cheap" Visit fucking UK
I have no desire to visit Europe anymore.
Man.. We pai about 2 punds for 1 litre. And in usa its about 0.4 pounds.. Here, when you have a 5 litre car everybody is like- OmG, He has to be rich!
New Car Spin What is that supposed to mean?! Did everybody make fun of you over there?!
It ain't what it used to be.
I live in Romania. My car has 3mpg and its still to fucking much
Gotta have comfort seats to get ventilation unfortunately. I wish they would fix that.
It does come with massaging seats standard though :)
AKA "Warm weather package"...new option.
8mpg? Jesus
+John Godwin Austin traffic sucks.
I've just ordered one. Super-excited about it arriving, but almost every test video I see, they're getting less than 15mpg. I'm in the UK, and fuel is roughly double the price of the US. arrgggggghhh
The sound is so thin and high, doesn't really suit a middle class car. Sounds more like a 4 cylinder. The S5 has exactly the same 0 to 60 numbers as the S3, and that's why I barely see any sense in this car in terms of driving performance and experience. I've driven the S3, it's not a big difference, really.
+Herr Niemand That's why I own an A3.
Yeah, i'd rather get an A5 3.0 TDI 272 HP or a RS3 - those make much more sense. I currently own the old A5 Sportback 3.0 TDI 245 HP - awesome engine.
Herr, the S3 is 0-60 in 4.5 and the S5 sportback is 4.7. Very similar but not exactly the same. Actually, the S3, S4, S5. S6 and S7 are all around the mid 4 second mark with the S3 being the fastest 0-60 but the larger cars have more mid range. Anyway, the reason anyone would buy the S5 is because you get the S performance in a family car. I have 3 kids so I need 5 seats, which the new S5 has, and I need a large luggage space, which the S3 doesn't have. There are many factors why these cars exist and each have their own market
Diesels will be phased out over the next 5 years or so, in the UK anyway
You need to hear it in person. It does not sound height and thin at all. It's nice and throaty.
Lmao anyone in the Austin area looking to buy one, don't buy this one because he just destroyed the piston rings smh only 55mi on that car.
+Thomas Banks Wrong
+New Car Spin lol I'm wrong? @ 11:06 at the lower portion of the gauge cluster screen to the right it shows 54.9mi, not to be confused with the range left in the tank which was at the top left of the screen at the time. It changed to 55.0 at 11:08 haha, was it the turbo "not spooling up" or was the engine physically strained do to fragmented rings... You learn something new everyday.
This is why you pay the deposit and order the car you want, so you don't get one of these. It's like buying something that's in "open box" condition. 😂✌🏽️
I drove a 2018 S5 and although it is almost perfect for me (interior, tech, coupé), it just isn't as engaging to drive as other brands. I bought a Jaguar XE-S instead :) The exhaust note of a supercharged engine sounds much better as well. Not sure if I want to go back to turbos!
