Audi is set to release a range of new models with the primary goal of meeting Mercedes-Benz and BMW head on in the market. Some models to be rolled out from the assembly line include an A7 4-door coupe, a premium hatch A1, and a Sportback variant of the A5 Coupe. Audi will rely on these cars to finish first in the race to sell 1.5 vehicles by 2015.
The A5 Sportback is due for release in the European market after it takes the spotlight in the upcoming motor show in Frankfurt this coming September. The tag price for this A5 variant TDI 2.0L model is set at $49855. Spokespersons of the car manufacturer hinted of an even cheaper release by mid of 2010.
The A5 Sportback variant is aimed at offering the elegant lines of the coupe while having the practicality of a wagon. The design revolves around this concept and Audi came up with a 5-door vehicle with a stretched profile featuring a tapering roofline.
The storage in the unit can really handle what a family car should at 980L. That’s what it can take with four adults inside with rear seats folded to accommodate some extra load.
Audi will be offering the Sportback A5 variant in 4 engine choices— 3 diesel and 2 petrol.
Car buyers can opt for a 211hp or 265 engines for the petrol engine variants. These powerplants are equipped with the valvelift system which makes it more efficient and able to produce more power. The diesel engine choices are not to be left behind with a range of 170 hp, 190hp, and 240hp choices.
The A5 Sportback now has an improved electronic stability system capable of front axle differential electronic lock. Drivers are also able to choose how the car will deliver its power with the dynamic driving options built into the cars console.
