2017 Audi A5 Sportback S-Line – Video

 

The A5 Sportback will be powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder rated at 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque.

As you might expect, the A5 Sportback mirrors the brand-new A5 coupe in terms of technology and style. Built on Audi’s fresh MLB Evo architecture, it is said to be considerably lighter than its predecessor. It also comes with an impressive list of standard and optional telematics systems, including semi-autonomous driving functions. But what we care most about are old-fashioned driving dynamics, and this is an area where the MLB Evo models, with their precise steering and superb chassis, really shine. We have driven virtually all other models on this platform, and we expect that the A5 Sportback will be among the best-handling and sportiest models in its class.
