2025 Audi A5 Sportback
Overview
The 2025 Audi A5 Sportback blends luxury, 5.4-second 0 to 60 times, and the practicality of a sedan with a hatchback. This stylish four-door has plenty of attractive exterior elements, including matrix-design LED headlamps and a coupe-like stance. Its cutting-edge tech, including a 12.3-inch HD information screen and head-up display (on premium trims), also helps the A5 Sportback stand out among performance sedans. At the same time, a fuel economy rating of 32 MPG (highway) gives this luxury car an element of practicality that you might expect from an auto with a 261-horsepower turbocharged engine.

Real World Performance
The 2025 Audi A5 Sportback has two powertrains to suit different tastes. The 40 TFSI model has a respectable 201 horsepower. For car shoppers craving more thrill, the 45 TFSI has 261 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. Both trims come with Audi's smooth-shifting seven-speed S Tronic. It gives you a smooth acceleration and responsiveness that you'd expect from a premium sedan.
Audi’s signature quattro all-wheel-drive system comes standard on all trims. It provides exceptional grip in all weather. Despite its sporty design and performance specs, the A5 Sportback has a hatchback design. This gives you extra cargo space that gives an element of practicality you might not get from other performance sedans. You get 21.8 cubic feet of space with the seats up. However, the 20/40/20 rear-row layout lets you fold some or all of the back seats to get 35 cubic feet for extra luggage, a road trip, or recreation.
