audi-a5-sportback-1After 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.

2010 Audi A5 Sportback Spied

7045589A series of new spy images of the new Audi A5 Sportback have appeared on the internet. The spy shots of the four door hatch/ coupe were taken during a campus photo shoot in University of California San Diego, where the car was starring.

It should be noted that these images are clear enough to indicate where the A5 Sportback lies in terms of positioning and styling. It can be assumed that the car is coming with higher specs since it is equipped with the A5 Coupe’s five spoke alloy wheels. The A5 Sportback has a profile of a coupe with a lower roofline in contrast to the A4 and a tapering hatch into the clear air spoiler at the back. The manufacturer states though, that the vehicle will still have enough space and will show high performance.

The vehicle will be powered with a 2.0TDI powerplant with an output of 170hp and 350Nm of torque. This version will be priced about $44,000. The 2.7TDI with 190hp and 400Nm of torque, and a 3.0TDI powered with 237hp worth 500Nm are also available. All of these engines will come with direct injection technology.

June 17th, 2009 Wise Car Shopper No comments

2011_audi_a5_sportback_spy_6_gallery_image_largeAudi has released the first official teaser shots and basic information about its much anticipated A5 Sportback. This includes details on the entry prices and the engine type. Sportback is the third variant of the A5 series after the Coupe and Convertible. It is five-door coupe with a low roofline and a large hatchback that draws its inspiration from the Sportback concept study revealed in Detroit Auto Show in January this year.

According to Audi the Sportback’s baggage volume of 480 liters or 17.0 cubic feet is nearly equal to A4 Avant. However, there’s also the option to fold the rear seats down and the volume will increase to 980 liters or 34.6 cubic feet.

The engine range of the A5 Sportback will include two gasoline and three diesel engines. The two gasoline units with the capacity of the 2.0-liter TFSI will have an output of 211HP and 350 Nm or 258 lb-ft of torque, while the 3.2-liter V6 will generate 265HP. The engines will be combined with Audi’s all-wheel drive quattro system.

The A5 Sportback is scheduled to arrive at European dealerships in September with an entry price of €36,050 in Germany for the 2.0 TDI versions. A cheaper model of the vehicle is possible to also appear in the middle of 2010. Audi A5 Sportback will not be sold in the U.S. market.
