2026 Audi A5 invoice price and destination charge
The destination charge on the 2026 Audi A5 is $1,295, added to every trim's base MSRP and passed through at cost — it isn't negotiable. Estimated dealer invoice below is for the base vehicle before destination, from CarWhere's researched invoice-to-MSRP ratios (by trim where researched, else model or brand). Dealers also earn holdback and factory incentives, so their true cost is lower still.
| Trim | Base MSRP | Est. invoice | Below MSRP |
|---|---|---|---|
| A5 Premium | $50,200 | $47,188 | 6% |
| S5 | $63,300 | $59,502 | 6% |
What A5 buyers actually paid
CarWhere publishes a typical discount once at least 5 verified 2026 A5 purchases are on file, and this model isn't there yet. Deals submitted so far: Every verified A5 deal (what people paid).
What's a good deal on a 2026 A5?
Without enough verified deals for a A5 target, judge a quote by its dollar discount off the exact trim's MSRP, before rebates and with no dealer add-ons. The dealer's cost is a useful reference: A5 dealer invoice price.
How to get that price
1. Negotiate the discount off MSRP
Agree on a dollar discount off the A5's MSRP first — not a monthly payment and not the out-the-door total, which hide where the money goes.
2. Get an itemized quote
Ask for a written quote that lists MSRP, the dealer discount, each rebate, and every fee on its own line, so the dealer discount is never mixed with manufacturer rebates.
3. Say no to add-ons
Decline pre-installed or dealer add-ons (protection packages, nitrogen, etching, markups). The target on this page assumes none.
4. Apply rebates last
Rebates come from the manufacturer and apply at any dealer. Take them on top of the negotiated discount, not instead of it.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2026 A5?
The 2026 Audi A5 starts at $50,200 for the A5 Premium and reaches $63,300 for the S5, before destination.
What's a good price for a 2026 A5?
CarWhere doesn't have enough verified A5 purchases yet to publish a target. Start from the MSRP of the exact trim, negotiate a dollar discount off MSRP, refuse dealer add-ons, and treat rebates as separate savings on top.
Does the A5 have rebates?
Manufacturer rebates and special financing on the A5 change month to month and vary by region and by whether you pay cash, finance or lease. The discounts on this page are dealer discounts before rebates, so any current rebate is extra savings on top — ask for it as a separate line on the quote. CarWhere’s incentives page lists current offers.
