Audi A5 Sportback 2.0 TFSI quattro 211PS S tronic
What is it?
SITTING between the Audi A4 and Audi A6, the Audi A5 Sportback provides hatchback practicality, although it’s only a four-seater. Tested here with the 211PS 2.0-litre TFSI engine with automatic S tronic gearbox, priced at £30,640 on the road.
What’s hot?
- Elegant and practical, Sportback has loads of small business appeal
- Better to drive than the diesel version thanks to lighter petrol engine
- It also rides better than the diesel, too
- Turbo engine provides urgent acceleration
- Accompanied by sporty exhaust growl
- Auto changes are smooth; kickdown responsive
- Quiet and refined on the motorway
- Good SE spec includes Milano leather and attractive 17-inch alloys
- Clever boot configuration allows unrestricted access…
- …there’s no heavy rear shelf in the way of the load area
What’s not?
- You can easily spend another £10k on desirable options
- Rear legroom is fine…
- …but it’s a squeeze getting your legs out of the car
- Four-seater layout may reduce appeal
- Lip on rear boot means loading practicality reduced
- Tailgate lifts high – check you can close it!
- Emissions on auto above 160g/km tax break
