If you’re a driver who spends a lot of time in the car to and from work every day, how a car will fare on your daily commute is probably a major determining factor in your vehicle choices. It is true that the car you drive can make all the difference in how tolerable your morning commute is every day. If you spend more than an hour driving to and from work every day like the average commuter in the United States, it’s important to invest in a commuter car that performs the way you need it to on your daily commute. 

Great commuter cars are reliable, comfortable, fuel-efficient, and preferably equipped with plenty of high-tech infotainment features to keep you entertained on the road. Most importantly, commuter cars are safe, dependable, all-around practical vehicles. 

When you think of an Audi, practicality probably isn’t the first thing to come to mind. Audis are luxury cars, and the Audi S5 is no different. Audi is best known for the fun-to-drive luxury vehicles that make up their lineup. However, the 2020 Audi S5 has actually become quite a popular car for commuters since it first hit the market in late 2019. 

If you’re wondering what it is that makes the newest Audi S5 such an appealing commuter car, here are 5 features of the 2020 Audi S5 that make this agile mid-size luxury hatchback the perfect car for commuters. 

  1. It Performs on the Road 

The Audi S5 is a high-performing vehicle all around. Its boosted V6 engine delivers 354 horsepower on the road and pairs with an 8-speed automatic transmission to offer a smooth ride for both drivers and passengers alike. 

Plus, the Audi S5 is just fun to drive. Like most Audis, the Audi S5 prioritizes driver enjoyment on the road. It is speedy, agile, and easy to handle—even for drivers who aren’t used to driving luxury vehicles. The 2020 Audi S5 is also equipped with a variety of features and amenities for entertainment, including a built-in state-of-the-art infotainment system that is all-new from Audi. 

  1. It’s Safe 

The Audi S5 is equipped with a host of high-tech advanced safety features that help protect drivers and passengers on the road. 

The most notable advanced safety features that are included in the 2020 Audi S5 are adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go tech, blind-spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking, and rear cross-traffic alert. The newest 2020 S5 also includes key driver-assistance features such as a built-in head-up display to keep drivers’ focus on the road at all times. 

  1. It’s Fuel-Efficient 

Fuel efficiency is one of the most important characteristics of any ideal commuter car. No one wants to spend a fortune in gas money every month because of their daily commute. Driving a fuel-efficient vehicle to and from work every day can save you a lot of money on fuel expenses over time. 

Fortunately, fuel efficiency is another area in which the Audi S5 performs well. The 2020 model gets an average mileage of 20 MPG on city streets and 27 MPG on the highway for a combined mileage of approximately 23 MPG

  1. It’s the Perfect In-Between Audi 

As underwhelming as it might sound, being the perfect in-between vehicle in Audi’s lineup is one of the biggest reasons why the Audi S5 is such a great car for commuters everywhere. 

The Audi is speedier and more agile than the Audi A5 hatchback lineup and more practical and easier to drive than the ultra-powerful Audi RS 5 model. This makes it the perfect balanced vehicle that is practical for commuting but is also fun to drive on a daily basis.
