CarGurus Analysis: 2018 Audi A5

Summary
With 225 currently listed for sale and an average price of $19,460, 36.4% of 2018 Audi A5s for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2018 Audi A5 5 / 5 stars.
63.6% of 2018 A5 models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2018 Audi A5 stands out as the start of Audi’s second-generation redesign, which added a new five-door Sportback body style alongside the coupe and convertible. That broader lineup gave the A5 more versatility without losing the sleek, stylish look that has always been part of its appeal. It also kept the model’s premium character intact, with a cabin that included features such as steering-wheel paddle shifters, three-zone automatic climate control, power-adjustable front seats, a panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, and wood trim.
Performance is another key part of the 2018 A5’s identity. All versions used a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine rated at 252 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and Audi’s rear-biased quattro AWD system. The coupe was also the only version offered with a six-speed manual transmission. Inside, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto were standard, and the car earned a Top Safety Pick award from the IIHS plus a five-out-of-five-star rating from the NHTSA.
For shoppers, the 2018 A5’s appeal comes from its mix of style, all-weather traction, and upscale equipment. It is not the most practical choice in coupe form, and the coupe’s back seat is cramped, but the Sportback body style helps broaden its usefulness. Owners also tend to praise its elegant design, handling, and advanced features, which reinforces the A5’s reputation as a sporty luxury car with a polished feel.

For you, the main long-term ownership risk is buying a poorly maintained or inconsistently presented example, so condition matters as much as mileage.
What should I look for when buying a used 2018 Audi A5?
At 62.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report and confirm whether any prior damage was repaired properly. Then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection so you can check for signs of uneven wear, poor repairs, or cosmetic shortcuts. Focus closely on overall condition, since owner feedback suggests that some listings may vary more than others in how well they were maintained.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2018 Audi A5?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile options.
- Deal availability: 38.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 229 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 4.52% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 62.9% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $18,992, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2018 Audi A5's resale value?
The current average of $19,449 sits slightly below last year's $20,369.
That softer pricing suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable entry point. If you plan to sell later, the current trend means your resale outcome will depend heavily on how well you preserve condition and how carefully you choose your purchase price today. A well-bought example gives you a better chance of limiting depreciation pressure over time.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2018 Audi A5 or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2018 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2018 if:
- 38.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 62.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 4.52% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
The bottom line:
You should lean toward the 2018 if you want the second-generation A5’s updated design, strong owner satisfaction, and a market that still offers some deal potential. If you are especially price-sensitive, a nearby year may be worth comparing, but the 2018 is the better primary target when you want the newer-generation package and are willing to shop carefully for condition and history.
