2018 Audi S5 & A5 Sportback – Design & Interior

The new Audi S5 Sportback* combines emotional design and functionality with the road performance of a sports car.

 

It accomplishes the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 4.7 seconds. Its newly developed, turbocharged V6 engine produces 260 kW (354 hp) and consumes just 7.3 liters of fuel per 100 km (32.2 US mpg). With an unladen weight of 1,660 kilograms (3,659.7 lb), the five-door sports coupé is 85 kilograms (187.4 lb) lighter than its predecessor.

 

The sharper exterior design and the numerous S-specific details in the interior underscore its dynamic character.

 

 

The emotional design of a coupé and the functionality of an Avant are well matched – the new Audi A5 Sportback* demonstrates this particularly elegantly. Its powerful, flowing silhouette makes it a truly aesthetic product with abundant space inside. Beneath its skin, notably impressive traits of the five-door coupé include a newly developed suspension, high-performance drives and innovative infotainment solutions. The way that various driver assistance systems intelligently interact points ahead to the age of piloted driving. The weight reduction compared with the predecessor model is as much as 85 kilograms (187.4 lb).

 

 

The new Audi A5 Sportback* appears in two TFSI and three TDI engine versions. They produce between 140 kW (190 hp) and 210 kW (286 hp). Compared with the previous model, Audi has reduced their fuel consumption by as much as 22 percent while increasing power output by up to 17 percent.

All engines comply with the limits of the Euro 6 emission standard. The standard, updated start-stop system includes changes that reduce fuel consumption. It already deactivates the engine when coasting up to traffic signals at less than seven (with S tronic) or three km/h (tiptronic) (4.3 or 1.9 mph, respectively).
