2018 S5 Sportback

       With the upcoming release of the 2018 Audi S5 and A5 coupe expected, it’s no surprise to hear they will be accompanied by their four-door sportback sibling. When a provocative body meets the thrust of a powerful engine, things get exciting. Starting at $42,600 - $200 cheaper than the A5 coupe; the 2018 Audi A5 Sportback Premium, 2.0-liter I4 pushes out 252 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. Standard equipment includes all-wheel drive and autonomous emergency braking with Audi pre sense®. Audi pre sense® city can detect vehicles and pedestrians at speeds of up to 52 mph, warn the driver of collision and even initiate emergency braking.

       If that's not enough, perhaps the S5 Sportback is more your speed. Sporting a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6, 354 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque; all-wheel drive is again standard, as is a whole bunch more. Including LED headlights, a leather and Alcantara suede interior, heated power front seats and three-zone automatic climate control.  The S5 Sportback is only offered in Premium Plus or Prestige trims, starting at $54,400. With that kind of performance and almost $8,000 cheaper than the S5 convertible – that drop-top better be worth it.

       Outfitted with an all-new exterior, versatile luxury interior and sharp sport styling – the S5 Sportback commands attention at every turn. So what are you waiting for? Give us a call or visit us online to set up a time for your test drive today!

The Distinguished Audi A4

Although the exterior of the new A4 has undergone some subtle enhancements, sporting sharper lines and a more distinct trapezoid grille, the family resemblance in this one is a nice feature considering that the A4 design is already quite distinguished.

There are three trim levels available for the new A4, with plenty of available upgrades. All levels are equipped with a 2.0 L turbocharged four cylinder motor. The quattro gets 0-60 in just 5.7 seconds, and has a combined mpg of 27. The train is a seven speed dual clutch automatic that comes with DriveSelect, thus we are granted four modes of vehicle operation- comfort, auto, dynamic, and individual. Individual drive mode allows the driver to customize shifts points, steering assistance, damper control, and adaptive cruise control operation.

The 2017 Audi A4 comes loaded with safety features- such as extremely effective braking systems, predictable handling, and the standard pre-sense basic system which tightens seat belts, primes brakes, activates hazard flashers, and starts closing the windows and sunroof if the vehicle senses an imminent crash. The A4 also has an optional Virtual Cockpit with a 12.3 inch display that delivers vibrant colors at 60 frames per second in addition to the standard center mounted screen. All of the safety and technology features are cutting edge and extremely easy to use and navigate.

The interior of the new A4 has been given a dramatic redesign for improved usability and aesthetic. The first thing you notice when you get into the new Audi is the impeccably clean and concise dashboard layout. As a matter of fact, the entire interior is impressively ergonomic and comfortable. The placement of everything makes perfect sense, and none of the features are flashy or cheap looking. In fact the A4 comes standard with leather upholstery and ambient LED lighting set to give you an understated, yet elegant feel. The border less rear-view mirror is an exceptional touch.

Overall, the new Audi A4 has been preened very well. Top of the line features and performance aren’t cheap, but the cost to own is notably low and the value of the car is undeniable. If you’re in the market for a car this year, you’d be doing yourself a disservice not to go with the new A4.
