Audi announces 2016 A5 and S5 four-door coupe are both ready to order after Paris Motor Show reveal

Audi has begun taking orders for its new A5 and S5 Sportback, as well as the latest two-door coupe. Starting from £38,005, it goes on sale just a month after its Paris Motor Show debut.

That base price is a whopping

7,305 more than the cheapest

A5 Coupe, but that's because

pricing for entry level SE

versions of the four-door

have yet to be announced.

For now, that gets you a

187bhp 2.0 TDI diesel in

quattro Sport trim

which spec-for-spec is

exactly the same price

as the Coupe.

An extra £1,570 will get

you a 248bhp 2.0 TFSI

with a seven-speed DSG

autobox. Also available

is a 268bhp 3.0-litre V6

diesel engine (though

prices have yet to be

announced for that),

while S-Line spec starts

from £38,130 with a

non-quattro 187bhp 2.0 TDI.

The 344bhp S5 Sportback

starts from £47,000. Deliveries

on the Sportback version will

commence in February 2017.

The A5 and S5 Sportback range is expected to hit UK showrooms at the start of 2017 after the covers come off at Paris. In Europe, prices kick off from €37,800 (around £31,700).
