The A5 Sportback’s standard 252-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four, seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and Quattro all-wheel drive make for a winning formula in both efficiency and performance. Smooth and sonorous, the 2.0-liter engine provides effortless power while the transmission shifts gears quickly and seamlessly; it’s a polished and well-matched setup made all the more capable by standard all-wheel drive. In our zero-to-60-mph and quarter-mile testing, the A5 Sportback outran all but the significantly more powerful 365-hp Kia Stinger GT. With performance that comes very close to its hotted-up S5 Sportback sibling, the Audi A5 Sportback is a true sleeper sports sedan. Its nimble handling even bests an Ultimate Driving Machine (the BMW 430i xDrive), and its ride is only slightly compromised by its athleticism. The A5 Sportback is everything a modern sports sedan should be. It’s composed, confident, and easy to drive fast through corners. Its agility belies its comfort, too; potholes and broken pavement do little to upset the Sportback, especially when it’s equipped with the optional adaptive suspension ($1000 on Prestige models). The well-weighted steering feels natural in the driver’s hands, and the front tires respond immediately to driver inputs, making this Audi a joy to pilot on twisty tarmac.
