James: I think the S5 has a vestigial back seat. It also does not have ceiling assist grips (which I find crazy not to have.) It is, however quite similar in most ways to the S4.

It also costs more.

From Motor Trend...comparing the 2018 S4 vs S5

Besides the door disparity, a quick glance at specs shows a 2.4-inch variance in wheelbase, 2.1 inches in length (S4 is longer), and small differences in width and height (the S5 is slightly wider and lower by about an inch).
