Audi S5 data analysis
How Audi S5 estimated annual fuel cost varies
Across 33 configurations recorded for the 2015 through 2026 Audi S5, estimated annual fuel cost runs from $3,150 to $3,800. The strongest figure belongs to the 2024 Audi S5 (Auto (S8), 6 cyl, 3.0 L) at $3,150, and the weakest to the 2015 car (Man 6-spd, 6 cyl, 3.0 L) at $3,800 — a spread of 17%. The narrow spread means any year of the Audi S5 in this table behaves much like the others, so you can shop on price, condition and mileage rather than chasing a particular model year.
What changed for 2026
Average estimated annual fuel cost for the 2026 Audi S5 is $3,300, against $3,375 for the 2025 car — it fell by $75. That is a real improvement, and it is the kind of change worth paying the newer-year premium for if this figure drives your decision.
How to read this Audi S5 data
This page lists every 2015 through 2026 Audi S5 record we hold for this measurement — 33 rows in total, one per configuration and model year rather than a single headline figure. Figures are published as the source agency records them: we do not round, average or interpolate missing years, and a year that is absent from the table is a year with no published measurement rather than a zero. Where a manufacturer offered several drivetrains or body styles in the same year, each appears on its own row, because those variants rarely share the same numbers.
Configurations behind these Audi S5 numbers
The 2015 through 2026 Audi S5 entries here cover the variants Auto (AM-S7), 6 cyl, 3.0 L, Auto (S8), 6 cyl, 3.0 L, Auto (AM-S8), 6 cyl, 3.0 L and Man 6-spd, 6 cyl, 3.0 L. 2024 is the busiest model year in the record with 3 separate measured configurations, which is why a single quoted estimated annual fuel cost figure for that year is rarely the one that matches the car in front of you. Match the row to the exact drivetrain, body style and engine on the window sticker or VIN before relying on the number, and use the comparison links below to see how those same configurations line up against rival models.
Where these Audi S5 figures come from
Every value on this page is loaded from federal open data — EPA fuel economy submissions, NHTSA vehicle and crash-test records, and manufacturer specification filings — rather than dealer listings or copied editorial content. The Audi S5 record refreshes as the agencies publish, which typically means new model-year rows appear in the autumn and crash-test results follow through the model year as vehicles are tested. Because certification data is filed per configuration, treat any single headline number for this vehicle with caution: the figure that applies to a specific car depends on its engine, drivetrain, body style and model year, all of which are listed separately above. If a number here disagrees with a brochure, the brochure is usually quoting the best available configuration rather than the one being sold.
