Hey guys! This week we're checking out the 2019 Audi S5 Coupe. The Technik trim.
If you're looking for comfort and performance on the road
this is something to consider.
when it comes to what's new with this year's model, we have new 20-inch wheels
which join part of the Black optics exterior appearance package.
Let's start with performance. This comes with Audi Quattro with sport
differential, which transfers power between the rear wheels to provide
optimal distribution and dynamic handling. This gives the driver a lot
more control and safety. Specific to the sport differential this distributes
torque between the rear wheels, which delivers optimal traction and avoidance
of under-steer as a whole. The heart of the S5 is totally re-designed with a
turbocharged 349 horsepower V-6 engine. As a matter of fact, all S5's are
motivated by Audi's turbocharged 3.0L V-6 engine.
This certainly provides more than enough get-up-and-haul.
For those of you who prefer to drive stick,
unfortunately, the S5 is no longer available with manual transmission.
Power is now routed to all four wheels exclusively through a smooth-shifting
8-speed automatic tiptronic transmission. There's also steering wheel paddle shifters
which stimulate a clutches manual transmission for those of you guys who don't know
and are ready to be engaged at any time after the
transmission is set to drive. This produces a whole lot of power, torque and
responsiveness, while also cutting on fuel consumption.
The result of this is a more efficient engine that can get 0-100 in 4.7 seconds.
Overall, the S5 produces plenty of power, a nicely balanced chassis and a smooth ride.
Diving deeper into the cabin, my thoughts are as usual. Audi has truly out-done themselves
when it comes to achieving a modern, classy and comfortable ride.
You really don't have to compromise luxury and practicality.
I could see myself taking this for an 8-hour road trip to go visit my
family in Sault Ste. Marie for example.
The interior of the S5 is like an escape. Between the wraparound dash, carbon atlas inlays,
matte brushed aluminum inlays- all of which, really adds to it's sportiness.
The S5 is shaped to fit many and is so comfortable.
Of course, Audi only uses the best materials, such as these fine Nappa
leather sports seats featuring intricate diamond stitching.
This poses a user-friendly design, as well, the driver and front seat passenger are treated to
comfortable, roomy, power adjustable seats.
Finally, getting to the exterior. The design is very dynamic with all of our favorite hallmark features.
the long hood, swept-back design, strong shoulder lines and flared wheel arches.
It speaks power and is maybe even a little seductive. Speaking of power, this
comes with red brake calipers, making a bold statement. As well, the quad exhaust
really delivers a satisfying noise too.
Lastly, I wanted to mention this S5 here comes with the Black optics package,
which means you get the black grille, window surrounds, body colored side mirrors,
black roof rails, and as we mentioned already, brake calipers painted
in high gloss red. Audi offers many optional intuitive technologies that
allow the driver to focus on the road. These intelligent tools are responsive
to the touch and add to its convenience, enjoyment, as well as add to your peace of mind.
The S5 is offered with an optimal head up display and traffic jam assistant.
This one here comes with the Advanced Driver Assistance package,
which includes adaptive cruise control with stop and go, Audi active lane assist,
Audi pre-sense city, traffic congestion assist, traffic sign recognition, and Audi
pre-sense front. Some of our most loved features that Audi always wins us over
with, is their famous virtual cockpit and infotainment features.
As well, this is compatible with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and also offers voice control.
The entire package of this really takes a huge part in creating a
positive and refined driving experience.
I really enjoyed taking you guys through this fun to drive and comfortable S5 coupe.
Although it's not the quickest kid on the block, that V-6 engine is not to be taken lightly.
