Audi A5 Sportback Leasing
The Sporty Audi A5 Sportback
The Audi A5 Sportback is a five-door extension of the much-desired A5 Coupe, lending the sportier relative an air of sophisticated practicality. There’s plenty of room for kids in the rear, although space for adults is limited, and the car drives with refinement - especially those models fitted with quattro all-wheel-drive. Inside the A5 Sportback is amongst the fanciest on the market, and the engine options offer economical solutions for all drivers.
Design
The main difference between the A5 Sportback and its Coupe cousin is the Sportback’s extra doors in the rear and a lifted rear end that both increase practical utility whilst playing nicely with the A5’s good looks. Overall, the car looks very much like the coupe from which it evolved. The car’s interior is smooth and relatively minimal, with simple controls and a clean layout complemented by expanses of pleasingly soft materials. The infotainment system is controlled using Audi’s signature scroll wheel, and an optional Virtual Cockpit system adds a 12.3-inch screen for sat-nav, media, speedometer and rev counter.

The A5 Sportback is offered in two of Audi’s basic - but nevertheless very well-equipped - trim lines; namely, Sport and S Line.

The top-of-the-range engine is a 3-litre twin-turbo V6, delivering 349bhp.

Almost all models of the A5 Sportback come with a sturdy quattro all-wheel-drive system which, although only truly necessary in trickier situations than most UK drivers are likely to encounter, does add a heightened feeling of safety, gripping and keeping full control on windy B-roads. At speed, the car drives in pleasing silence as the cabin is well-insulated from outside noise, and handles with an impressive degree of control. Drivers who enjoy a little more weight in the steering can switch the A5 Sportback into a heavier setting using the Drive Select button, with Comfort and Sport modes altering the firmness of the ride.
