The new Audi A5 was launched less than two months ago and already we have two new S-Line packages for the coupe from quattro GmbH. The S-Line pack helps to improve the A5’s handling thanks to the addition of a sports suspension kit that lowers the car by 10mm as well as 18 or 19in alloys featuring a 20-spoke design. This will be followed by a larger 20in 7-twin-spoke wheel design that will be offered by the middle of the year.

The developers haven’t left the interior untouched. Inside, the car gets new sports seats with electrically adjustable lumbar support and layered with Fine Nappa leather featuring an embossed S-Line logo. Also available is new perforated Alcantara/leather upholstery, with the perforations in the seat center section backed in contrasting silver. Other typical S-Line items in the A5 include a 3-spoke leather-covered sports steering wheel, inlays in matte brushed aluminum and the S-Line logo on the door sill trims and front wings.

Visual enhancements to the car’s body include revised front and rear bumpers and side ventilation grilles as well as a contrasting platinum grey diffuser insert. Expect to pay €1,440 for the exterior pack alone and up to €2,040 for the upgraded cabin.

Audi's new A5 coupe (pictured here) will bring with it an S-line edition when it goes on sale in the U.S.


The A5, introduced at the recent Geneva auto show, will be offered in Europe in two S-line packages. The S-line sports package plus will include a lower ride height and 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels (19- and 20-inch wheels will be available later).

The base S-line package will include new interior trim with a choice of cloth/leather, Nappa leather, or Alcantara suede trim and a three-spoke steering wheel. Special badging and new paint colors will be offered on both S-lines, as will a new fascia and side vents.

Audi of America has not released the specifications of the U.S. S-line models yet.
