Here’s how much the new Audi A5 Coupé costs in SA

The new Audi A5 Coupé has arrived in South Africa (read our first drive from Portugal), with the Ingolstadt automaker finally confirming local pricing.

The new A5 Coupé range comprises nine derivatives, each employing a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. For the time being, the S5 Coupé tops the local line-up, coming in at R928 000 (an increase of R7 000 over the outgoing model).

The range kicks off at R589 000 for the 2,0T FSI petrol engine in 140 kW/320 N.m guise, available in two trim levels. Four 140 kW/400 N.m 2,0 TDI diesel mills (again, across two specification levels) sit in the middle of the local line-up, with two of them standard with the brand’s quattro all-wheel-drive system.

A pair of 185 kW versions of the 2,0-litre turbocharged petrol units is next, both standard with all-wheel drive. Then, as mentioned above, the 3,0T FSI S5 Coupé – which now makes 260 kW (up 15 kW) and 500 N.m (up 60 N.m) – is positioned at the very summit of the range.

For the record, the Sport trim adds items such as 18-inch alloys (base models feature 17-inch alloys), sport seats, a model-specific grille and air intakes, sportier bumpers and chrome exhaust trim.

Expect the A5 Sportback to follow in the second quarter of 2017, with the cabriolet set to launch locally in the third quarter.

Gorgeous new Audi A5 is here: SA info, prices

Audi’s all-new A5, launched in South Africa this week, sports an unashamedly evolutionary design, mostly because that’s just how Audi rolls but probably also due to the fact that its predecessor was described by its very own designer, the highly acclaimed Walter de Silva, as being the most beautiful car he’d ever created.

Nonetheless the new model's penman, Frank Lamberty, managed to infuse more attitude into its classically geometric three-box proportions, with a lower stance, swoopy new creases and a wider, flatter grille, ultimately giving the newcomer a more hunkered-down appearance.

Despite its increased dimensions, which also result in more cabin space, the second-gen A5 is up to 60kg lighter than its predecessor.

The biggest design revolution takes place inside, where you’ll see a more horizontal dashboard design featuring a ‘floating’ 21cm colour screen, linked to a touch-pad, and those with deeper pockets can now opt for Audi’s 31.2cm ‘virtual cockpit’ instrument cluster and a 30-shade ambient lighting system.

Other notable options include MMI navigation plus with Wi-Fi hotspot, Google Earth and Street View navigation, and wireless phone charging.

Wide range of engines

The South African engine range offers a good mix of turbo-charged four-cylinder petrol and diesel options and a potent new V6 in the S5.

The least expensive A5, at R589 000, is the 2.0T FSI, rated at 140kW and 320Nm, and, as with all four-cylinder models, its engine is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch S Tronic gearbox as standard. A 185kW/370Nm version of this motor is also offered, paired with Quattro all-wheel drive. The 2.0 TDI diesel is only available in one output guise – 140kW and 400Nm – and can be ordered with front-wheel drive or Quattro AWD.

The lead dog, until the RS5 arrives, is the latest S5, and it's shoved along by a redesigned 3-litre V6 turbo that’s good for 260kW and 500Nm, up 15kW and 60Nm on its predecessor, and mated to an eight-speed Tiptronic autobox. Expect 100km/h to come up in just 4.7 seconds.

The S5’s Quattro system has a mechanical centre diff that can send up to 70 percent of the torque to the rear wheels if necessary, although only 60 percent makes its way to the back under normal driving conditions. The system is also assisted by a torque vectoring device and those seeking even sharper handling can opt for a ‘sport’ rear differential.

What standard features do I get?

The 140kW petrol and diesel base models come with automatic air conditioning, cruise control, MMI radio plus with Bluetooth, multi-function steering wheel, Audi Drive Select, indirect tyre monitoring system, seat upholstery with a mixture of real and artificial leather, Xenon plus headlights and 17-inch alloy wheels.

If you opt for the ‘Sport’ grade, you also get front sport seats, aluminium ellipse cabin inlays, 18-inch alloy wheels, bespoke grille and intake trim and chrome-tipped exhaust pipe,

The 185kW 2.0T FSI quattro adds electrically-adjustable front seats to the mix along with a rear parking aid.

Over and above all the abovementioned, the S5 gains Nappa leather trim, keyless start, Audi pre-sense, ‘S’ front seats with massage function, high-gloss package, 19-inch alloys and LED headlights.

Comparing old Audi pricelists we are 100% being screwed here in SA! The cost of the new S5 is 26% higher than the MY2014 S5 was in late 2013. Yet the Rand now vs the Euro and the £ back then was almost exactly the same.

The price of the new S5 is pretty much the same (3% less) as the new price of the outgoing RS5 MY2014!

Audi A5 & S5 (2017) First Drive

Summary

The Audi A5 is a clear indicator of how the brand is reading the market. It's well aware what its rivals can do in the driving dynamic stakes and it's not going to try take them on until the RS5 arrives. But driving dynamics is just one small facet of motoring; there are many more important aspects such as comfort, practicality and technology, and this is where the Audi really excels. The A5 is a classy, supremely refined vehicle. Given its excellent chassis, exceptional comfort and ride quality, and wide selection of efficient powerplants, we can heartily recommend it as a stylish and sensible luxury coupe. The range will be expanded with the launch of a 5-door Sportback, a convertible and finally the fiery RS5 at the end of the year.
