Does the 2018 Audi S5 have auto start-stop?

On some configurations. The 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo is listed both with and without it, depending on the build.

Key takeaways

  • Start-stop cars restart the engine many times per drive, so they are usually fitted with an AGM or EFB battery - replace like with like.
  • Most systems have an off button that disables start-stop until the engine is next started; some models remember the setting.
