Turbocharged V6 Power The B9 S5 Sportback is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine, producing 354 horsepower and 500 Nm (369 lb-ft) of torque, delivering strong acceleration and refined cruising.
Quick and Composed With quattro all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic transmission, the S5 Sportback can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0–62 mph) in just 4.7 seconds — impressive for a five-door grand tourer.
Sportback Practicality Unlike the coupe, the Sportback features a hatch-style rear, offering more cargo space and easier access, without sacrificing the sleek coupe-like roofline.
Signature quattro All-Wheel Drive Audi’s quattro system ensures excellent grip and handling in all weather conditions, with a rear-biased torque split for a sporty feel.
Available with Adaptive Suspension The B9 S5 offers an adaptive damping suspension, allowing drivers to switch between comfort and performance modes to suit different driving scenarios.
Sporty Yet Refined Interior The cabin features S sport seats, optional diamond-stitched leather, Alcantara trim, and Audi’s signature Virtual Cockpit, offering both luxury and technology in one package.
Sharp Exterior Styling The S5 Sportback stands out with aggressive front and rear bumpers, quad exhaust outlets, S-specific side skirts, and available black optic trim for a more stealthy look.
Balanced Daily Driver While fast and capable, the S5 Sportback is also comfortable, quiet, and fuel-efficient, making it ideal as a daily performance car with grand touring potential.
Facelifted for Modern Looks In 2020, the B9 received a mid-cycle refresh, with updated LED headlights and taillights, a larger grille, and an upgraded infotainment system with a touchscreen MMI display.
Bridges Performance and Luxury The Audi S5 Sportback perfectly blends sporty performance, elegant design, and executive comfort, appealing to drivers who want more than a sedan but not quite an RS-level track monster.

The Audi S5 Sportback (B9) is the brand's perfect blend of performance and practicality, offering a sleek four-door coupe design with Quattro all-wheel drive and a turbocharged V6. With 349 PS, a luxurious interior, and tech-packed features, it stands out among rivals like the BMW 440i Gran Coupe and Mercedes-AMG C43 Coupe.
