New Audi Q5 Sportback revealed with coupe style, SUV versatility
The new Audi Q5 Sportback is slated to launch sometime in 2021.
Following the recent reveal of the facelifted Audi Q5 SUV, the German carmaker is expanding its Q5 range with the introduction of the Q5 Sportback.
Slated to launch sometime in 2021, the new Q5 Sportback is equipped with better tech as well as a coupe-like design cue. On the outside, it comes with similar design cues as that we have seen in the refreshed Q5 in June, however, to live up to its Sportback name, the rear is more sloppy.
The front-end comes fitted with a reworked front-end that incorporates new intakes, sharper headlights with a new lighting signature.
There are new OLED rear lights.
The Q5 is powered by a four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines for the European market. The base models will be powered by a single mild-hybrid TDI and TFSI engine options with 120 kW and 150 kW respectively.
The 45 TFSI churns out 195 kW and 370 Nm of torque and reports state that a 40 TDI with 150 kW as well as a 50 TDI 3.0 V6 with 210 kW will later join the line-up.
An SQ5 Sportback is on the cards and will reportedly make 260 kW and 500 Nm.
The local engine line-up will be confirmed prior to the Q5 Sportback’s launch.
The interior is fitted with a tweaked cabin with Audi’s MIB 3 software. There is a new 10.1-inch touchscreen that protrudes from the dashboard. Audi’s Virtual Cockpit digital can be ordered at an extra charge. Wireless Apple CarPlay comes standard.
When it launches, it will rival the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe and BMW X4.
