After teasing the Audi S5 Sportback at the digital launch of the Audi Q2 in India, the brand was expected to launch the ‘next Audi model’ the S5 Sportback in the Indian market before the end of last year and 2020 being ‘2020’, that did not happen but better late than never and Audi has now officially teased the Audi S5 Sportback through the brand’s social media channels confirming that the Sporty sedan is coming to the Indian market soon.
Powertrain
Powering the sportier version of the Audi A5, the S5 Sportback comes with a 3.0-litre V-6-Cylinder turbo-petrol motor. In the international market, the engine produces 349 Hp of power and 500 Nm of torque. The power unit comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission that transfers power to all-four wheels via a Quattro four-wheel-drive system. This enables the S5 Sportback to sprint from 0-96 kmph (0-60 mph) in just 4.5 seconds. The same engine is likely to power the S5 Sportback in India. The power unit also consists of a Quattro sport rear differential capable of directing the torque to the appropriate wheel depending on demand, enabling the car to carve the corners at higher speeds.
Design & Features
The Audi S5 Sportback comes with a four-door coupe design language with sharp design elements on the front, straight cuts and crease line on the sides, a gradually sloping rear roof section that lands far into the rear deck and a sporty haunch with a liftback style tailgate. The car features the hallmark Audi Singleframe grille finished in gloss black, sleek LED headlamps with LED daytime running lights, aero ducts on the lower apron, flared wheel arches, a raised power bulge on the bonnet, LED taillamps, a boot lip spoiler and quad rounded chrome exhaust finishers. The car also comes with Carbon Atlas inlays on the dashboard, a 10.1-inch Audi MMI touchscreen infotainment display with Audi Connect, 12.3-inch Audi virtual cockpit instruments cluster, a sporty steering wheel, premium Bang & Olufsen sound system, etc.
