Some Interesting Facts

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.
