Audi has released the first Audi A5 Sportback teaser video and images. The Sportback joins the Coupe and Cabriolet as the third member of the A5 model family – and at the same time creates a new segment. With an exciting design, great everyday utility and highly efficient and powerful TFSI, FSI and TDI engines, the Audi A5 Sportback will arrive at Audi dealerships in September.

The petrol version of the Audi A5 Sportback will be available with either a 2.0 TFSI engine with 211 hp and 350 Nm or a 3.2-liter V6 unit with 265 hp. the diesel versions of the Audi A5 Sportback will come with a 2.0 TDI with 170 hp and 350 Nm or a 2.7 TDI with 190 hp and 400 Nm or a powerful 3.0 liter V6 TDI with 240 hp and 500 Nm of torque. The company will add more engines on the Audi A5 Sportback after the launch.

The Audi A5 Sportback excels in its elegant, elongated, sporty profile. The large hatchback fits perfectly into the tail-end styling. The spoiler lip and the diffuser insert provide contrast and emphasize the athletic tautness of the elongated contour. The coupe-like silhouette is the result of a roof section with a long, tapering roofline that is moderately lower by 36 mm (1.42 inches) than the Audi A4 Sedan and of the short overhangs at the front and rear as well as the long wheelbase of 2,810 mm (9.22 feet) and the four frameless doors with their slim, dynamic window styling.

The car will be open for ordering with an entry price of EUR 36,050 for the 2.0 TDI version. A version with an even more attractive price will follow in the middle of 2010. This will make the Audi A5 Sportback the entry model for the A5 model range.
