Are you a fan of Audi? Do you like
hatchbacks? Well Audi is about to make your dreams come true. Audi has
confirmed that they will be releasing the A5 and S5 Sportback models in the US.
And they should be here in the spring of 2017.
The A5 and S5 Sportback’s have been
a popular option in Europe for years, and now that the Sportback is coming to
America and it will be just as popular as in Europe. In Europe, the A5 and S5
come in a wide variety of gas and diesel engines and offer both manual and
automatic transmissions. We will be limited to two engines here, both have
automatic transmissions.
The A5 Sportback will have a
turbocharged four-cylinder that produces 252 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of
torque and has a seven-speed transmission. This is the same powertrain that A5
coupe and sedan as well as the A4 sedan. The S5 Sportback gets a 354-horsepower
turbocharged V6, which also makes 369 lb-ft of torque and sends power through a
conventional 8-speed automatic. Both of the Sportback models are just as fast
as the coupe counterpart, reaching 60 mph in 5.7a and 4.5 seconds respectively.
The A5 will also be equipped with Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive.
The A5
and S5 Sportbacks will feature the same interior design as their coupe and
convertible counterparts. A couple of
the features that are included in the Sportbacks are the Virtual Cockpit LCD
instrument panel and MMI system. The big
advantage to the Sportbacks is Audis claim of twice as much cargo room as the
coupe and the backseat is much more spacious than the coupe.
