After several teaser photos and videos, Audi has finally revealed all the details on its all-new mid-size five-door sportback. 2010 Audi A5 Sportback will be available in dealerships across Europe starting in September, while the car manufacturer announced that the car is not planned for the United States.
The vehicle will have a choice of six engines split evenly between gas and diesel units. All the engines will be equipped with direct injection.
The range of gasoline units of A5 will consist of a 2.0 TSI engine with 180HP and 211HP and a 265HP 3.0 FSI V6, while the range of three diesel engines includes a 2.0 TDI with 170HP, a 2.7-liter TDI delivering 190HP and a 3.0- V6 TDI that makes 240HP. The engines of the Audi A5 are all four cylinder and will be equipped with automatic start-stop systems and the top gasoline- and diesel-powered V6s get the requisite quattro all wheel drive. Three additional engines are expected to drop into the lineup later in 2010.
Audi also informed that an S-Line package will also be available for customers looking for a sportier A5 Sportback. S-line package offers a sportier suspension and a lowered body height as well as larger wheels, exterior and interior modification.
The new Audi A5 Sportback will make its official public debut at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show – orders are being taken now.
