What Audi S5 do most buyers choose?

The Audi S5 years with the most listings are 2024, 2018, and 2019.

Higher-volume years tend to draw more shoppers because they usually offer a broader mix of prices, trims, and deal opportunities. That makes them easier to compare side by side when you want the strongest combination of selection and value.

What is the Audi S5's resale value?

The table shows broad downward movement across the model years listed, which can work in your favour if you are shopping used. The largest drops are in the double digits, so recent examples have become meaningfully more affordable over the past year. That creates stronger buying opportunities for shoppers who want a newer S5 without paying new-car pricing.

The 2018, 2023, and 2019 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
