Post Audi adds A4 and A5 S-Line Black Editions

Audi has released an upgraded specification for its A4 and A5 S-line models, dubbed the Black Edition.

Available for the A4 saloon/Avant and the A5 coupe, Black Edition adds a new styling package including a high-gloss black grille surround, matt black window, numberplate and foglight surrounds and 19-inch, titanium-finished alloys.

Interior upgrades include piano black finishes, iPod connection and either Audi's parking system 'Plus' with on-screen graphics for the A4 saloon or tinted windows in the Avant variants.

The Black Edition is available across the A4 and A5 engine range, adding a premium of £1250 over the S-line. A4 prices range from £27,220 to £38,095, and A5 prices from £31,175 to £39,330.

Audi has also released a new Technik specification, available for A4 saloon and Avant TDI variants. Based on the SE, Technik adds a leather interior, DVD satellite navigation, iPod connection and Audi's 'Plus' parking system.

Technik models carry a premium of £915 over the SE specification, with prices ranging from £27,270 to £35,205.

Car needs to sit lower to make it all work. The factory sport packages usually accomplish this. I don't think they sit that high in person.

It must be called "Black Package" only in Europe, because Audi has not announced this name for the U.S. model. Here, it's called the Titanium Package (same features) and that is what's listed at their website .

I'm not sure how your pricing works down there, but up here, Audi's are dramatically overpriced. I'm not sure I'd want to pay even more for an underpowered, performance lacking car like the S5. Factor in the brutal dealer experience and terrible service (coming from a friend that is on his 6th Audi in spite of this ) and there are many better options imo.

I've heard Canadian pricing for Audis is pretty bad. It's better here in the states. I had a great dealer experience with my A4.
The S5 has won many awards since inception and is still in short supply. I don't think all out speed it the point of Audis. The focus is more on style and grand touring.

It'll be a Ti (Titanium) Package here in the US. They started it with the B7 A4's.

It's a render. Very flat looking, obviously.
