Finding a car that’s both beautiful and genuinely practical is rare. But a used Audi A5 Black Edition brings those worlds together, wrapping up stylish German engineering in a package that turns heads and makes life a little easier.
Maybe it’s the sharp lines of the coupe that catch your eye, or maybe you’re drawn to its tech-filled, luxurious interior. Choosing a second-hand A5 Black Edition means you get all that premium excitement—without paying full price. It’s your invite to join a club of drivers who know that a car can be more than just transport; it can help you fall in love with driving again.
One of the best reasons to buy used? Someone else has already taken the biggest hit on value. That means a sophisticated, highly desirable car is much closer to your budget. Whether you need a comfy daily commute or a cruiser for weekends, the A5 Black Edition has you covered.
The A5 Black Edition is more than just a pretty face. With its black styling pack—replacing chrome accents with gloss black—and privacy glass, it stands out from the crowd. Bigger alloy wheels and sporty details seal the deal.
Importantly, it’s not just about looks. The A5’s Sportback version, for instance, gives you a coupe-style shape with five doors and a useful hatchback boot. That means style plus practicality—rare for a car in this class.
Financially, you skip the steepest part of depreciation but still enjoy a car packed with the latest features and built to last. Audi’s dealer network is extensive, so running and maintaining your A5 is straightforward. The spacious, quality interior seats four adults with ease, and the boot impresses for weekend trips or daily errands.
The Black Edition trim has been a favourite for the A5, building on the well-specced S line with smart cosmetic and tech upgrades. The gloss black styling pack, privacy glass, and larger alloys make it athlete-chic, while inside, you get extras like a flat-bottomed steering wheel and enhanced sound systems.
Inside, expect Audi’s classic, solid build. Soft-touch plastics, slick metal trims, and uncluttered controls make every trip feel special. The engines—TFSI petrol and TDI diesel—are both punchy and efficient. Automatic S tronic gearboxes offer silky shifts, and the quattro system gives confidence across all British weather.
The Black Edition came in during this A5’s facelift. It bundled blacked-out styling, 19-inch alloys, privacy glass, and an upgraded Bang & Olufsen sound system, making it a top pick for anyone wanting standout looks without stretching to the S5. Today, these models are solid value buys.
The newer A5 Black Edition took the S line to the next level—19-inch alloys, black door mirrors, and the transformative Audi Virtual Cockpit with its digital dials. The car feels more modern inside and out, with extra comfort and tech throughout.
Coupe: The classic two-door A5, with its sweeping profile, looks incredible. Rear access is trickier, so it’s best for those who want style first.
Sportback: Adds two doors and a hatchback boot—all while keeping a coupe-like look. The best mix of practicality and panache, great for families or weekend adventurers.
Cabriolet: If the thought of top-down motoring appeals, this one’s for you. The insulated fabric roof makes open-air driving a pleasure in all seasons.
Service History: Demand a full service history. Pay special attention to timing belt changes and S tronic gearbox servicing (at 38,000-mile intervals).
Gearbox Health: Test for seamless shifts; avoid hesitation or odd noises in S tronic automatics as fixes can be costly.
Alloys and Tyres: Check for kerb damage and uneven tyre wear, which might signal suspension or alignment problems.
Tech: Ensure the infotainment and Virtual Cockpit (if fitted) are fully functional. Connect your phone and check for display faults.
Cabriolet buyers: Look closely for any water leaks or seal issues—musty smells or damp carpets point to trouble.
Older, first-gen models can start around £12,000, while newer second-gen A5s from 2018-2020 usually sit between £20,000 and £28,000. Nearly-new versions will cost a bit more.

Absolutely, if you value the upgraded style and kit. It typically costs only a bit more than the standard S line but feels much more special.
