There are cars you buy with your head, and cars you buy with your heart. The 2018 Audi A5 Sportback is the rare machine that satisfies both. Visually, it is stunning. The "Sportback" silhouette, with its wave-shaped shoulder line, frameless windows, and aggressive stance, makes it arguably the best-looking model in the entire Audi lineup. It turns heads in a way a standard A4 never could.
This isn't just a pretty face, though. Being the 45 TFSI model, it packs the higher-output 2.0-litre turbocharged engine, delivering a punchy 185kW and 370Nm of torque. Mated to the lightning-fast 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission and Audi’s legendary Quattro all-wheel-drive system, it launches from 0-100km/h in just 6 seconds. It feels planted, secure, and incredibly agile, especially on wet Melbourne roads where the Quattro system truly shines.
Inside, the cabin is a masterclass in German minimalism and technology. The Virtual Cockpit (digital instrument cluster) places navigation and driving data directly in your eye line, rendered in crisp high definition. The floating MMI infotainment screen supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, ensuring you are always connected. The build quality is flawless, with premium leather appointments and tactile switchgear that feels expensive to the touch.
Despite the coupe roofline, the Sportback design is surprisingly practical. The rear hatch lifts completely (glass and all) to reveal a cavernous boot that is far easier to load than a traditional sedan. The rear seats fold flat, meaning you can easily fit a flat-pack furniture run or golf clubs. It is the perfect "one car solution" for the professional who needs style for the client meeting and practicality for the weekend getaway.
