The Audi A5 Coupe running costs won’t be cheap but on par with rivals. It’s a high quality product, backed up with the prestige of the Audi name, which means it should be in demand and, as a result, hold onto its value well. Audi servicing can be on the expensive side, but there is a good network of independents who offer a cheaper alternative. Plus, if you’re a low-mileage driver the service intervals can be up to two years.

The Audi A5 Coupe emissions ratings might seem high but it is a surprisingly green model and with an average of 183g/km CO2. This is helped by the efficient diesel and smaller turbocharged petrol engines which balance power with economy. The greenest model is the 2.0 TDI which emits 140g/km of CO2 and returns an impressive 53mpg. From late 2009, 2.0 TDI and 2.0 TFSI models come with an automatic start-stop system to help reduce emissions and increase fuel economy.

This is the first time that some of the components in this car have been used (usually parts are shared across models). However, Audi A5 Coupe reliability will be same as the rest of the German car maker’s line-up, so anything other than complete dependability would be a huge surprise.
