Default S5 engine types

My daughter just purchased a 2015 S5 Cabriolet. Do all the S5 cars come with the V6? She seems to think her car is a V6 however it doesn't look like it to me? There is no badging that indicates V6 and I can't see anything that would tell me that it is a V6. To me, it looks like a 4 cylinder

Should be a 3.0 liter V6 engine in a 2015 S5.

Open the hood and it should be clear to see

Hope your daughter didn't buy an A5 with a couple of S5 badges tacked on, as the engine is very clearly a V6 with a prominent supercharger:

Have you tried to decode the vin? That may tell you.....or I know in Canada, when we insure the vehicle, the vin tells the insurer everything they need to know, and they can verify the info with you. Just a thought.

What do the badges by the front door say? I think a 2015 would have a "Supercharged" badge.
