Costs & verdict
Everyday costs, plus how reliable and safe it is
With our recommended 40 TFSI engine fitted, the Audi A5 Coupé is priced roughly on a par with an equivalent BMW 4 Series, while a like-for-like Mercedes C-Class Coupé will cost you a little more. Unsurprisingly, the A5 commands a small premium over an equivalent A4 saloon, but the difference isn't huge.
For those looking to run an A5 as a company car, CO2 emissions will be just as important. There's relatively good news on that front: the most efficient diesel (the 35 TDI in entry-level Sport trim) pumps out as little as 125g/km. However, the 40 TFSI petrol engine is slightly cheaper and not that much less efficient, so that will still be a better choice for many company car drivers.
