Nicest Car I’ve Ever Owned :)

This car is beautiful!! This is my second Audi A5 S Line Coupe and I loved them both but the updates and features for 2021 are insane!! I love it so much!! I also had a Mercedes GLC 300 SUV that I loved but this car has way more features :)

2021 Audi A5 review: Our expert's take

By Brian Normile

Most significant changes: Four-cylinder models (40 TFSI and 45 TFSI) gain a 12-volt mild-hybrid system and 13 additional horsepower;. A4 40 TFSI models gain standard Quattro all-wheel drive; A5 Sportback gains a 40 TFSI Quattro model

Price change: Up to $1,700 on A4 variants; $400 to $1,100 increase on A5 variants except Sportback TFSI 45 ($1,100 decrease)

On sale: Second half of 2020

Which should you buy, 2020 or 2021? For the A4 and S4, a 2021 is the better bet if 2020 prices remain the same at dealerships. The added standard features in the A5 and S5 also make the price increases seem modest and worthwhile, and there’s a new more affordable Sportback option.

Audi’s 2021 A4, A4 Allroad, S4, A5 and S5 gain some interesting powertrain updates, a new base model for the A5 Sportback and some reconfigured features depending on trim level.
