There are three trims to choose from within the Audi A5 Coupe range: Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige. All three cars are powered by the same 2.0-liter turbo-four with 261 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque, and feature the same seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and quattro AWD setup.
The base model features LED headlights with high beam control, tri-zone automatic climate control, a panoramic sunroof, leather seats with eight-way power adjustability in the front, and a 10.1-inch infotainment display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Driver assistance systems include pre sense basic and pre sense city. The Premium Plus adds features such as SiriusXM radio, front and rear parking assist, wireless phone charging, rear cross-traffic assist, and vehicle exit warning. The Prestige model comes with added features such as a 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system and a head-up display. Flashy laser lighting also finds its way onto the range-topper.
US pricing for the A5 two-door coupe is competitive when compared to the BMW 4 Series Coupe and Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe. Pricing for the base Premium model starts at $45,600, which excludes tax, registration, and a destination fee of $1,045. Moving up to the Premium Plus will see you forking out $50,500. Finally, the top-tier Prestige costs $55,050. The price of the Audi A5 Coupe will exceed $60,000 if you go for the Prestige and all of the available options. Among other coupes for sale in this segment, the newer BMW 4 Series begins at $45,800.
The base Premium can be upgraded with the $1,800 Convenience Package. It adds features like a driver's memory seat function, SiriusXM, advanced keyless start/stop, and rear cross-traffic alert. That's it for the extras on this derivative.
The mid-range Premium Plus offers a lot more choice and includes the Convenience Package as standard. Here, you can get the Navigation Package for $1,500 or the Black Optic Plus package for $2,000. The latter adds 19-inch wheels with all-season tires, blacked-out exterior trim and badging, and red brake calipers. Another nice option is the S line interior package at $500, adding brushed aluminum inlays, leather/Dinamica upholstery, and stainless steel pedal caps. You can also equip the B&O sound system for $950.
The Prestige offers all these extras besides the audio system upgrade and navigation, which it already has. The top two trims can each be specified with ventilated front seats for $800, although this feature can't be specified if you also want the S line interior package.
With three trim levels to choose from, Audi has made it easy for new buyers to find the sweet spot. Prices range from $44,500 for the base model, which is cheaper than both the BMW 4 Series Coupe and Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe, up to $53,950 for the Prestige. The base model shares its engine and transmission with the rest of the range, which means you get solid performance from the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. All A5 Coupes come with good tech and safety systems, but if you're after the most safety features, you'd best stick with one of the top two trims, which both have a surround-view camera and adaptive cruise control. The Premium Plus, however, has to be the best deal. For its price, you get notable additions over the base model, such as an Audi virtual cockpit plus a 12.3-inch TFT instrument cluster, rear cross-traffic assist, and vehicle exit warning.
