Same platform and 2.0-litre turbo engine as the A6, wrapped in a lower coupe roofline — that trade-off is the entire reason to pick an A5 over its sedan sibling. Our UAE stock is drawn from the 2018 and 2019 model years, running AED 13,500 to AED 68,000.
How much does a used Audi A5 cost in the UAE?
Live pricing spans roughly AED 13,500 for a 2018 up to AED 68,000 for a 2019 for cars from these two model years. With such a tight age range, condition and tyre state matter more here than the single-year gap between them.
Which used Audi A5 year should you buy?
A 2019 is the newer of the two years we carry and the safer default, but a well-kept 2018 at a meaningfully lower price is not a compromise worth avoiding.
Is a used Audi A5 reliable?
Tyre problems turn up on 32% of the A5s we inspect, against 13% expected for coupes of this age and mileage in the UAE. That is worth checking on the specific car rather than treating as evidence against the model — tyres get replaced, and a fresh, matched set resolves the finding entirely.
Audi A5 or A7?
The A7 costs less within Audi's own range despite sitting a notch up in size, making it worth a look if the fastback shape appeals as much as the coupe does. Go the other way to the A6 and you pay more, with prior body or panel repair showing up on 80% of cars against 69% expected for sedans of the same age. Outside the family, a BMW 318 costs more for a smaller car, and a Mercedes C200 costs considerably more too.
What should you look over on a used Audi A5?
- Tyre brand and wear matched across all four corners.
- Panels and paint for prior repair before agreeing a price.
- Roof seals for leaks given the coupe profile.
- Full service history regardless of which of the two years you choose.
- Suspension and steering on a proper test drive.
Let the CarSwitch inspection report settle it before you commit to either year.
