Audi RS 5 Sportback

Stepping inside the Audi RS 5 Sportback, you will definitely notice its front sport seats that are made with the brand’s RS embossing and a honeycomb stitching. These front seats are equipped with heating and ventilation features, ensuring comfort for you and your passenger even when cruising through the city at high speeds. For a sports coupe that can have an aggressive exterior stance, its cabin actually has quite a sophisticated and minimalistic look. 

In the front, this car offers a virtual cockpit. The driver can enjoy a customizable digital instrument cluster and a heads-up display that enable you to responsibly monitor the current state of your driving. This vehicle also has a 12.3-inch HD MMI touch display that is linked to a high-end Bang and Olufsen premium sound system with 3D sounds, perfect for entertainment and navigational purposes. Inside, the RS 5 Sportback is equipped with an ambient lighting system that offers 30 colours, allowing you to match the interior with your current mood or vibe. 

From the outside, the Audi RS 5 Sportback sports a classic two-door shape that took inspiration from the brand’s 1984 “Ur” Quattro design. At the front, it is made with muscular fenders and the brand’s RS specific air inlets, which would definitely catch the attention of younger generation car enthusiasts who admire sports cars with blacked-out parts. In addition, it is made with a pair of singleframe and darkened matrix LED headlights equipped with the brand’s laser light that enhance its brash demeanor while on the road. 

Walking around this car, you will definitely notice how the sunlight beautifully makes its metallic paint pop (i.e., shine), showing us how visually-stunning Audi vehicles truly are. In terms of dimensions, the Audi RS 5 Sportback is 4,783 mm in length, 2,029 mm in width, and 1,387 mm in height. 

In terms of suspension, the Audi RS 5 Sportback utilizes the brand’s RS Sports Suspension plus with dynamic ride control. You will have a highly-responsive steering thanks to this suspension system. On top of that, this suspension also allows the driver to have nimble handling when turning. This shows us how Audi perfectly balances sporty driving and comfortable maneuvering.

The Audi RS 5 Sportback is powered by a 2.9L, twin-turbo V6 TFSI engine that produces a maximum power output of 450 hp and a maximum torque of 600 Nm. It runs on an 8-speed Tiptronic transmission and the brand’s quattro all-wheel drive with sports differential system. This car is great for overtaking on free-flowing highways since it can go from 0-100 kmph in just 3.9 seconds. However, if you worry about fuel costs, then this car is not that ideal for driving on busy city roads on a daily basis. 

Safety is one of the most important aspects that Audi considered when creating the RS 5 Sportback. As Audi mentioned: “the S in RS5 stands for safety”, this vehicle is equipped with driver assistance systems that protect all passengers from any unforeseeable negative situation. This sports coupe has assistance systems for parking, siding, holding, and rear cross traffic. It also has a tyre pressure monitoring system and parking aid plus. 

For small families with children, this car is made with ISOFIX child seat anchors for the front passenger seat and a top tether for outer rear seats. To ensure that all passengers are aware of what is happening around them, the RS 5 Sportback also has a 360-degree surround camera. In terms of braking, this car uses ventilated discs for both front and rear.

For a luxury coupe, its price is more on the neutral side. It is less expensive compared to other locally-available luxury sports cars, but is priced higher compared to vehicles in the same class that can offer much more. Hence, buying this car is usually preferential at the end of the day.
