The Audi S5 Sportback is the sweet spot in Audi's mid-size performance range: the practicality of a five-door liftback, the pace of a 3.0-litre turbo V6 and the all-weather traction of quattro.

Model profile
Audi introduced the current B9 A5/S5 family in 2016, and the five-door Sportback variant of the S5 arrived in the US for the 2018 model year — the first time American buyers could get the S5 in liftback form rather than only as a coupe or cabriolet.
Powertrain and equipment
Every US S5 Sportback uses the 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 (the EA839 unit, badged 3.0 TFSI), producing 349 hp and around 500 Nm of torque. Unlike the earlier supercharged B8 S5, this engine uses a single twin-scroll turbocharger nestled in the vee for compact packaging and quick response.
In the US the S5 Sportback was sold in Premium Plus and Prestige trims, with the Prestige adding the virtual-cockpit head-up display, top-tier Bang & Olufsen audio, and full driver-assistance features.
Vehicle selection
Because the S5 Sportback was a premium, relatively low-volume model in the US, examples tend to be well-cared-for cars from affluent owners, frequently with full specification and dealer service history. Typical candidates are 2018–2021 cars with moderate mileage. Sun-belt cars offer rust-free underbodies and unstressed cold-start histories. Prioritise cars with documented Audi service, especially oil changes on schedule, and a clean, unbranded title.

Pre-purchase review
The B9 S5 Sportback is generally solid, and the eight-speed Tiptronic is a robust, well-understood gearbox. The EA839 3.0 TFSI is a strong engine, but there are a few things to watch on any used example. Some owners report elevated oil consumption, so check the level and service history closely.
Germany and Europe
Because the S5 Sportback is built in Ingolstadt, an imported US car is a German product returning home, which simplifies parts and service familiarity.
Because the car is a German model, TÜV work is usually limited: fitting or activating a rear fog lamp, adjusting headlights to European aiming, and confirming the odometer and speedometer.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
The assessment depends on the specific vehicle and the circumstances of the transaction. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review any possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are considered separately.

Broadly yes, with a robust eight-speed automatic and a strong 3.0 TFSI V6. Watch oil consumption, cooling components and infotainment, and keep to Audi service intervals.
A 3.0-litre single-turbo V6 (EA839) with 349 hp and around 500 Nm, driving quattro all-wheel drive through an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic.
Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.
US examples are often well-optioned, well-kept and can represent a specification or value that is attractive versus the local market; the Sportback body was also common there.
Usually just a rear fog lamp, European headlight aiming and odometer/speedometer verification, since the underlying model is already European.
Ocean freight and clearance typically take several weeks; the total to German plates depends on port schedules and the approval appointment.
