Then they're like: "We're sorry, we can't offer you inexpensive cars". I know they're a luxury brand but this tendency to saturate cars with unncesary bs is what's making prices ballon so much.
Give me 2 tonnes, 10 layer of computers between the car and my input, speaker sound, cheap piano black trim, and make it expensive. At least it's not a 4cyl or ev suv I guess...
Why didn’t they keep their old naming structure? A for the regular ones. S for the sporty ones. RS for the mental ones. Then call the electric ones E. The really fast ones can be ES4 or ERS6 or RS4E.
Because displays are cheap, but look expensive to the avg consumer They will/can charge a few extra thousand for a display that is about as good as from a 200-300 $/€ tablet
I don’t want a screen for my passenger, I’m driving, I’ll have my music/podcast/radio station on thanks… my wife’s music taste is so bad it makes me angry, not wise when I’m driving. Either that or she falls asleep… she doesn’t need a screen…
My dad loved his coupes. He first had an Alfa Brera, lovely thing, then he bought an S5 coupe b8.5 but he had to sell it as my brother and me don’t fit in it anymore. He has now got an S6 Avant.
Screens work great - I have 2 large screens in my car, and a head up display. Means you have nav, media, driving info, augmented directions with video display all easily visible at once 😊
3.0l v6 with a dual clutch transmission and youre complaining. If they kept the NA v8 youd be complaining about how its too slow and the price because of how much audi would get fined for environmental crimes😂
I love the chrome 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Those last 7 or 8 years of “Black Editions” were only for the 40 Something Dads… They’re now consigned to history as the 50 something grand parents……
You notice the bonnet on the left hand side as we look at it there’s a Large gap example is 3.48 sec or 5.49 into Vid a better example. The dash is a zillion better than Audi had before . Would prefer the Buttons on steer wheel
Have you heard of inflation and regulations? That is whats making cars both worse while making them more expensive. So instead of blaming audi, blame your communist EU for passing laws and regulations nobody voted for.
It looks really good... from the outside. But all the stupid screens... just so gimmicky and trendy. I'd much prefer an aesthetically beautiful dash design that housed the infotainment.
@@AutoTraderTV look up late 1990s, whole 2000s and early 2010s S models and every generation of S4 and S6 and you'll see they have aluminium trim. For the new S3, the car in the video is Carbon or Vorsprung edition. Base S3 still has aluminium trim on mirrors, and every S3 before 8Y gen also has it. But a car journalist should know this. Instead, some random guy on internet has to correct your lack of research for the videos.
Of course. My X5 2002 cost me 3k five years ago and is still going strong. M2 nice, devalues by half in just over 5 years. M8 is a brillant car! It wins the award for the best depreciating car out there. I would love one! BMW. The ultimate depreciation machine! And they are great cars!
Sounds and drives like radio 2, while also looking worse than any prior car with that badge. Sounds great...plus it has loads of screens that have that typical massive black border which makes them look outdated already. On the plus side, I can not only tailgate it for ironic reasons, but it's also now a game to set those lights off! I genuinely clicked on this expecting to be positive. I doubt I'd actually dislike driving it, but I'm struggling to imagine I'll ever be bothered enough to find out. Retrofitting auto/carplay to a B9 petrol seems to give you functionally the same tech and a better driving experience, plus the option of it being a coupé...so this new one seems a bit pointless.
The word “coupe” is not pronounced “coop” it is pronounced “coopay”. It’s originally a French word. Only Americans pronounce it as “coop”. Rory, you aren’t American.
They could have made this with a RWD bias if they changed the platform but they didn't. So most of the time you get a FWD car that delivers power to the rear wheels when it loses grip. Why not Merc and BMW at this point? I feel like Audi killed everything that made Audi, Audi.
Exactly. Also how many brands are going to copy bmw screen layout ? Sheez .. they made it even worse at least bmw is sleek and smaller. Massive ass tablet widescreen across the front gross
And now the new 6 has split headlights. I have a c8 s6 and it's the last audi I'll probably buy unless they bring back the previous design cues. I'm not liking the new design direction that audi is headed towards
Those front air vent surrounds are comically bad looking. The majority of cars coming out of Germany now are from a design perspective, absolutely dreadful.
Would you rather have the S5 or my hoodie? -RR
S5
your hoodie
Ah yes 3 screens and customizable tail lights is what everyone has been looking for.
Dont forget lots of cheap looking piano black, everyone loves that.

5:35 even Rory is confused lol
I spotted that too, he mentioned S6 twice there, also at 5:08
Oh yeah, he meant to say S3 avant, oh no S4.5?....... S5 there we go, we're all confused
Bring back the S5 Coupe
Would you buy it?
S5 convertible for me. It was the only car that made me hesitate before getting a jaguar f type. Amazing car.
@@Maarioo007 i drive a 2015 S4 i think I could
And Cabrio
My last 5 cars have been Audi coupe of cabriolet. Guess I’m getting a BMW next.
I'm glad it's a wagon but I'll miss the coupe
I like it but why are companies now putting screens for passengers, nobody likes screens and adding more is just making interiors look cheaper
Because displays are cheap, but look expensive to the avg consumer
They will/can charge a few extra thousand for a display that is about as good as from a 200-300 $/€ tablet
I see. More profit from giving virtually nothing. Clever lot the VW group!

@@AR-zr1om Screen for passengers is brain damage unless they can plug headphones into it?
Audi is in serious re-consolidation mode & the new S5 is a result of that . . .
Very rare slip up from Rory, calls it an S6 more than once, great review as ever though!
No idea what it is 🫣
...after calling the puma "brilliant looking" anything goes
Maybe he likes the S6!
He mentioned the S6 to compare it to the S5 no?
£68k! I guess they're passing the £15k fine for not meeting EV targets onto the customer.
They would literally go bankrupt if they didnt. Imagine losing 15k PER car...

I'll never have enough money to buy one but i'd like to know where I can purchase your Hoodie Rory, thanks !
0:49 giant missed opportunity at a comedic bit where you'd have been shown scrambling to pick up all those pictures
Looks like a Focus Estate
Just a bit more money which you will loose after 3 to 4 years.
The interior is terrible imo, the screens look awful
That's right! Spot on!

1:54 wasn’t aware Tom Nook worked in Audi Product Planning 😂
If you are playing video games on a car, then I just have a word to say:
Get out
Cars are vehicles people use to get from one place to another, usually a mile or more apart.
You’re thinking of homes.
If you’re driving - then you are out 💡
Shout Out to the Hoddie, Someone give this man a Bells
At last - Well done Audi. The need has not been squashed / ignored.
Waaay better looking than the new Mercs and BMWs...
Leave the Mercs out of that sentence they still look good
Way overpriced. U can get a far better looking and faster m340i or m550i
@PEACEOUTXX1 ..maybe the pre 2023 models...newer ones are crap.
current G20 3 series still looks good
😂
From a beautiful coupé with a big 4.2L V8 to this s#
It's the future! Rory told this when he was on top gear telling us about EVs every episode! Although this is not a a Ev.

I Actually love wagons and I wished more companies made them.well done Audi
I am surprised that AT has only 1.32 million subscribers
50 million?
The coupe to buy is anything sorted with rwd, 3 (not 2, 4 or 5) doors and ideally a diff.
So that rules out the old S5 then!
Is that a Ford Vignale grille? 9:40
Where did you get that hoodie that fire 🔥

Happy to see an estate but really miss the compact 4 door of yesteryear
Hold up so A3 A4 and S5 are now same care just shaped differently 😅
I love the A5 coupe and am on my second one. I won’t be buying this car. I want a 2 door coupe. Ps that hoodie is fire 🔥
Same. No sign of a coupe yet either. 240i next I reckon.
The title reminds of what people say when they get caught cheating on their relationship
Rs5 estate lets go.
Yep. More evidence manufacturers are definitely producing wildly overpriced vehicles their traditional customer base don’t want…
Have you heard of inflation and regulations? That is whats making cars both worse while making them more expensive. So instead of blaming audi, blame your communist EU for passing laws and regulations nobody voted for.
Besides the first s4 was basically what this car is, a v6 sports wagon/estate.
It’s exactly what i think it is
Okay, but not enough info. Is it feels expensive? Or 10 yrs old Audis still more premium? (As usually this days...)
Why is he doing the "look surprised and hold my head" in the thumbnail?
In order to generate interest in this video.
Oddly enough, I like the chrome look in front
I really think that's lovely. That said I'm not a huge fan of all the screens but can't escape them these days
That new Audi naming scheme is so stupid. Decades of building brand recognition down the drain. And the resulting cars are a yawn fest. Why?!?
Regulations thats why. Most they couldve done is do something different about the naming scheme.
Thing is, even though the "old" S4 was diesel. The pre-facelift had the exact same engine, just without the 12 hp or whatever it is hybrid bit
The engine has been updated and supposedly is more tuneable and stronger. Has better cooling and bigger turbo i think.
At least it has an internal combustion engine good point rory
Sellica?
Wish we got this in the US, $120k for the RS6 is a bit steep.
£100k for an S6, £70k for an S5 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 f*cking insane
Forget the car, where did you get that coat ❤
All things considered this is a great looking thing and reminds all of us of a time not so long ago 😀
Cool car 😎 let's be honest a wagon is way cooler than a coupe these days anyway 👌🏻👌🏻
Why would you go for this over the electric one? Because it's a real car, not a battery-powered car-shaped object, that's why!
It looks really good... from the outside. But all the stupid screens... just so gimmicky and trendy. I'd much prefer an aesthetically beautiful dash design that housed the infotainment.
I might skip the RS5 but I’m not sure. Possibly go RS7 or 911.
911 all day
@@PEACEOUTXX1 looking at getting 911 + a Toyota of some sort in a coupe years. If not the RS5/7 are calling my name.

What a horrible car.
Audi has truly messed up the brand the last few years.

There are some Peugeot 508 in the rear... Not in a bad ways.

Big Question...Would u buy an Ioniq 5 N or This..🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
This cause its not electric
@stevejobs1955 ..I know, but it's waaay more fun than this Audi I think.
This Audi or a near 200 bhp MG zs hybrid+ and £50,000 in the bank?
The 50k option!

Shame that the coup is dead. Long live two door coupe versions. Well maybe one dday Audi will revive them again.

Goodbye Audi
The power output is disappointing comparing to latest VW 4 bangers.
Audi isn’t what it used to be, you can’t charge tomorrows price for yesterday’s tech. Not with it imo
That sums it up very well.
that front looks like my Mazda 3 Sport Skyactif 2014. LOL that's outdated for real.

That’s a hell of a lot of grey plastic on the inside. Ugly
Killing of the Coupe is a big mistake. They should have re done the coupe and done an RS version of it.
Looking a little Korean tbh
4 zero's are idiots with new naming new cars
This could be called S4.1 tho

Damn ❤
It’s just SO expensive
New cars are getting worse and worse, all manufacturers think the way to go is all piono black dust magnets and unnecessary screens everywhere
I couldn't tell it apart from all the other Audi's of late. Over priced, well screwed together but kind of bland.

Perhaps more than that?
