Used 2023 Audi S5 Hatchback Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Audi S5 is the higher-performance version of the A5. It comes with a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine (349 horsepower, 369 lb-ft of torque) paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. Audi offers the S5 as a coupe, convertible (Cabriolet) and four-door hatchback (Sportback). The coupe and convertible seat four, while the Sportback accommodates five. The S5 is available in three trim levels: Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige. Feature highlights include:

Premium
The S5 Premium base trim comes well equipped with:

  • 19.5-inch alloy wheels

  • LED headlights
  • Panoramic sunroof (coupe and hatchback)
  • Automatic high beams
  • Three-zone automatic climate control
  • Leather and faux suede combination upholstery
  • Power-adjustable, heated front sport seats with massage
  • LED ambient cabin lighting
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror with integrated toll road transponder

Technology and safety features include:

  • 10.1-inch central touchscreen
  • Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay smartphone connectivity
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)

The optional Convenience package for the Premium trim adds:

  • Auto-dimming side mirrors
  • Keyless entry and keyless start
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Driver's seat memory functions
  • Front and rear parking sensors
  • Satellite radio
  • Blind-spot warning (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
  • Rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle behind you is about to cross your vehicle's path while you're in reverse)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Audi and the car in front)

 
Premium Plus
Moving up one tier to the Premium Plus gets you the features of the Convenience package as standard plus:

  • Digital instrument panel
  • Faux leather-wrapped center console and armrests
  • Wireless charging pad with a signal booster
  • Rear USB charge ports (Sportback only)
  • Bang & Olufsen premium sound system
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the S5 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the S5 back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)

 
Prestige
The Prestige trim maxes out the tech and comfort features, adding:

  • Upgraded headlights
  • Heated rear seats
  • Navigation system with traffic sign recognition
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)
  • Traffic sign recognition

The Premium Plus and Prestige trims can also be equipped with several options, including:

  • S Sport package
    • Adaptive suspension dampers
    • Sport rear differential
    • Red brake calipers
  • Warm Weather package
    • Different sport seats with ventilation but without massage
    • Leather upholstery
    • Neck heaters (convertible only)
  • Black Optic package
    • 20-inch wheels
    • Black exterior trim accents
  • Audi Sport Interior package
    • Contrasting red stitching
    • Carbon-fiber interior accents
  • Premium leather upholstery
  • Dynamic steering (changes steering ratio for higher or lower effort based on speed)

Which S5 trim does Edmunds recommend?

We think it's worth it to spring for the middle-tier Premium Plus trim, which includes the excellent Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system, the larger digital instrument panel, a 360-degree camera system, wireless phone charging, and adaptive cruise control that works down to 0 miles per hour. It's the sweet spot in the trim levels.
