As the Audi RS5 Sportback’s swollen fenders imply, this hatchback sports sedan is built to handle aggressive driving with practicality in mind. The four-door version of the RS5 coupe, the RS5 Sportback is weaponized with a 444-hp twin-turbo V-6, big brakes, sticky tires, and a fortified suspension that lowers the ride height and gives it an intimidating stance. These performance improvements put it a cut above its more civilized four-cylinder A5 Sportback and 349-hp S5 Sportback versions,. The RS5 Sportback sends its power through an eight-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel drive system that delivers exceptionally grippy launches. Its myriad of luxurious features and roomy interior make it a comfortable performer. The sport suspension’s comfort mode delivers on that promise with an impressively supple ride, and even the RS-tuned exhaust is more subtle than sharp. The 2023 RS5 Sportback might not be wild enough for everyone, but its attention to comfort and style makes it a well-rounded choice with plenty of scoot.
