Introduction 

In an instant, form becomes fascination. 

A brief moment. The blink of an eye. Sometimes that is as long as it takes to provoke enthusiasm. One glance at the Audi A5 Sportback is enough to sense 

that this is one of those moments. A coupé – completely re-interpreted. And a character which lets you discover that each moment is special from the very first metres. 

The fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions figures can be found from page 54 onwards.

06 Design 

In an instant, space becomes freedom. 

Outside the proportions of a coupé, inside the feeling of space of an Avant. The Audi A5 Sportback does the seemingly 

impossible, combining design and a high level of functionality. A vehicle which is one of a kind. 


08 The 

Design 

horizontal lines of the rear bumper accentuate the decisiveness of the design, while the diffuser insert in a contrasting colour ensures increased dynamics. 

Slimline headlights and large air inlets give the front of your A5 its typically impressive appearance. 


10 

Design 

The brake light integrated into the tailgate emphasises the aesthetic design 

of the vehicle. Furthermore, its LED broadband technology reacts more 

quickly than standard lamps, giving following vehicles more warning time when 

the car brakes. 

The elegant yet powerful roofline of the Audi A5 Sportback is rounded off by its 

smoothly accentuated rear. Slim side windows let its appearance shine through in 

an even more athletic manner. 

The fuel consumption and CO2 emissions figures can be found from page 54 

onwards.

12 

Design 

What kind of vehicle is this Audi A5 Sportback? A coupé? An Avant? This vehicle does not fit into familiar categories. It defines a class of its own – a five-door coupé. From the elongated bonnet to 

the rear, the design echoes the classic form of a two-door. The flat roof is stretched elegantly over the frameless doors and a sporty shoulder line accentuates the large wheels. Short overhangs 

and a longer wheelbase create additional dynamics. 

The four doors also hint at the high level of functionality which awaits you inside the Audi A5 Sportback. The generous amount of space offers great comfort for four people, even on long journeys. 

In all respects a vehicle which offers new perspectives. Whichever way you look at it. 


14 Chassis 

In an instant, driving becomes feeling. 

The Audi A5 Sportback does not just inspire feelings, it adapts itself to them as well. You can choose the driving 

characteristics yourself at any time with the optional Audi drive select and its three modes, auto, comfort and 

dynamic. The chassis, the optimised axle load distribution and the extremely precise steering give you rapid, clear 

feedback from the road at all times. The wide track and long wheelbase also ensure superb grip and impart an excellent 

driving sensation. 

The quattro® permanent all-wheel drive, available in conjunction with various engine models, sets standards in agility. 

The system transfers the driving force dynamically and asymmetrically to all four wheels in accordance with the 

situation. If even more agility is required, there is quattro with sports differential. The electronically controlled 

differential enables the wheels of the rear axle to be accelerated individually. For excitingly precise cornering and 

outstanding traction. 

The fuel consumption and CO2 emissions figures can be found from page 54 

onwards. 

30 

years of quattro® 

quattro® with sports differential: The A5 Sportback steers even more directly and precisely into corners.

16 

Engine In an instant, power becomes passion. 

The start-stop system contributes to the minimisation of fuel consumption. If, for example, 

you change to neutral when waiting at a red light, the engine switches off, and back on again 

when you press the clutch. 

Each new kilometre proves the performance of the Audi A5 Sportback and makes each drive an 

exciting experience. The broad range of engines is powerful, torquey and efficient. 

All the petrol engines use the FSI® technology which has seen several victories at Le Mans. One 

example is the 2.0 TFSI quattro with an output of 155 kW and additional turbocharging for even 

more agility. The four cylinders of the A5 Sportback accelerate it to 100 km/h in 6.6 seconds 

with an impressive 350 Nm of torque. The fuel quantity, injection pressure and timing are 

perfectly coordinated to ensure that every drop of petrol is used efficiently. 

The diesel engines also combine sportiness and efficiency. Thanks to TDI technology, they unite 

high torque and low fuel consumption. To do this, they work with the latest generation of the 

common rail system for impressive engine power even at low speeds. 

This power is made perceptible by various transmission variants. The continuously variable multitronic 

always uses the optimum speed range. The 6-speed manual transmission provides short 

shift travel for real driving pleasure. And the optional S tronic dual-clutch transmission permits 

fast gear changing with almost no perceptible pause. In either case, they are efficient to drive: 

the start-stop function of the 2.0 TDI and 2.0 TFSI with manual transmission, and the efficiency 

program of its trip computer ensure excellent use of fuel. 


18 

Safety 

It only takes a millisecond for a normal driving situation to become a challenge. The best option is 

to recognise dangerous situations early and therefore avoid them as far as possible. To this end, the 

A5 Sportback has extensive assistance systems. For example, ESP: targeted braking ensures greater 

stability while driving. An additional front axle differential lock is at work in front-wheel drive vehicles. 

It distributes the drive torques electronically depending on the driving situation and thus actively 

intervenes before understeering even occurs. This means more agility and precision when cornering as 

well as smoother driving behaviour. The optional Audi lane assist also offers active support by warning 

the driver if the vehicle is inadvertently leaving the traffic lane, while the optional Audi side assist 

monitors the area at the side behind the vehicle with radar sensors. 

In an instant, safety becomes trust. 

The specially designed large brake discs counteract any deterioration in braking effect during heavy use. 

But the A5 Sportback is also prepared for all eventualities. You and your passengers are protected by a 

comprehensive system that includes adaptive full-size airbags for driver and front passenger with seat 

position recognition and a head airbag system. Thorax/pelvis airbags and three-point inertia reel seat 

belts on all four seats provide additional safety (with belt tensioners and belt force limiters at front). 


20 

Driving pleasure In an instant, propulsion becomes excitement. 

The Audi A5 Sportback reveals a new driving dimension. With its powerful design, which fulfils its sporty promise on every journey. 

Dynamic on the straight, precise on corners. Developed with a clear aim: to allow you to experience each route anew. 


22 Interior 

In an instant, attention to detail becomes passion for detail. 

The cockpit has an extrovert, sporty design. The 3-spoke leather-covered sports steering wheel is light and 

secure in your hand. The well thought-out details are convincing: cockpit and dashboard are single or two-colour 

according to the interior colour selected, the visual toning down of the passenger side bringing out the driver's 

area more strongly. 

For the interior design, you have a choice from sophisticated leather and high-quality cloths in different colour 

variants and an exclusive quality of finish. 

There is an exceptional amount of space in the back, too, which welcomes the rear passengers with two full-size 

seats. For relaxed travelling, even on long journeys.

24 

Interior 

You get into a coupé – and are amazed by the generous amount of space in the Audi A5 Sportback. Experience the dimensions and superb details of the interior, 

with its well thought-out design. Four full-size seats offer comfort and strong lateral support. Complex lines and clearly-structured surfaces blend harmoniously 

into a sporty architecture and lend the interior its exclusive expression. The cockpit is designed with the driver in mind; the controls are ergonomically arranged. 

The optional MMI navigation system plus has been enhanced. Its operation, via the new MMI button with integrated joystick, is completely intuitive. The MMI 

navigation plus has 3D map representation and the jukebox – a hard drive for organising your personal music files. Also available is the MMI navigation system with 

navigation DVD. 

The generous luggage compartment, with 1,000 mm width is as flexible as your leisure time plans. The asymmetrical rear seat can be split and folded down to 

allow the loading volume to be extended quickly from 480 to 980 litres. The load-through facility therefore facilitates the stowing of longer objects, so that you 

can look forward to your next excursion in a relaxed manner. 


26 

Outlook 

In an instant, looking becomes longing. 


28 

Audi S5 Sportback 

Increased dynamics. 

Enhanced efficiency. 

Sportier than ever. With the new Audi S models, you experience power on a whole new level. 

Power delivery and acceleration are tradition in the breathtaking Audi sports cars. Technical 

highlights, such as the specially adjusted S sports chassis, high-performance brakes, ESP or 

the quattro® permanent all-wheel drive, allow you to really experience this force. 

But an Audi bearing the S emblem incorporates so much more. Maximum agility connected 

to efficiency and functionality. See for yourself – drive the Audi S5 Sportback.

Explanatory notes 

1 The figure stated was calculated using the specified measuring procedure 

(current version of Directive 80/1269/EEC). 

2 Weight of car, unladen, with driver (68 kg), luggage (7 kg) and fuel tank 90 % full, 

calculated in accordance with the currently valid EC Directive 92/21/EEC. Optional 

equipment may increase the car’s unladen weight and drag coefficient, whereupon 

the possible payload limit and the top speed will be reduced accordingly. 

3 The engine’s power output always reduces with increasing altitude. At 1,000 m 

above sea level, and for every additional 1,000 m, deduct 10 % from the weight 

of the outfit (trailer load limit + gross weight of the towing vehicle). Figure for 

trailer load limit applies to factory-fitted trailer towing hitch. If using the vehicle 

with a trailer towing hitch for commercial purposes, a digital tachograph may be 

required under certain conditions. 

4 A vehicle’s fuel consumption and CO2 emissions do not just depend on how 

efficiently the vehicle uses the fuel, but are also influenced by driving behaviour 

and other non-technical factors. CO 2 is the greenhouse gas primarily responsible 

for global warming. 

5 Regulated. 

6 We recommend using “sulphur-free super unleaded RON 95” in accordance with 

DIN EN 228. If not available, use “sulphur-free regular unleaded RON 91” in 

accordance with DIN EN 228; power output will be slightly reduced. 

7 We recommend use of sulphur-free diesel in accordance with DIN EN 590. If not 

available, Diesel in accordance with DIN EN 590. 

8 The figures given were calculated using the specified measuring procedures. The 

figures do not refer to one individual vehicle and do not form part of any offer, 

but rather should be used purely for purposes of comparison between the different 

vehicle models. 

Important note 

Inspections are due as shown by the service display.

Audi efficiency, Audi configurator, Audi tv 

Efficiency: standard in every Audi. 

Vorsprung durch Technik is the claim to 

which the Audi brand is committed. It 

includes giving careful consideration time 

and again to each droplet of fuel. For many 

years, Audi has been translating this claim 

into tangible reality on all its models – and 

as a developer of numerous innovations is 

having a lasting influence on efficiency 

standards in automotive engineering. 

Whether with the TDI, FSI® and TFSI® engine 

concepts, with transmission technologies 

or with the Audi Space Frame (ASF). 

To achieve on-going improvements in energy 

consumption, a number of intelligent effi- 

ciency measures – specially tailored to each 

vehicle – are combined. Efficiency with a methodical 

approach – individual and standard. 

A commitment which is already leading to 

convincing results. Audi already has many 

models in its current range that emit less 

than 140 g CO₂/km. An effective way of 

reducing emissions. And just as impressive 

as the fact that a large proportion of Audi 

vehicles already meet the strict EU 5 emissions 

standard. 

All this demonstrates the know-how of Audi – 

and is what drives us on every day to harmonise 

sportiness and efficiency in the future. 

At Audi, you get much 

more than just an Audi. 

Anyone who chooses an Audi chooses a brand that offers its customers more. More individuality. 

More exclusivity. And more fascination.
