Audi Q5 Sportback (FY)

Compact Crossover

Product Gallery

Product Overview

Audi Q5 Sportback (FY) is a compact crossover in production from 2020. It is available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 2.0 to 3.0 liters.

It is the latest addition to Audi's "coupe" crossover lineup. Based on the 2nd-gen Q5 (FY, Typ 80A) compact crossover, the Q5 Sportback caters to the recent trend of customer demand for hunchback crossovers. Unfortunately, this makes it uglier and less practical than the already nonsensical Q5.

Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Audi Q5 Sportback comes with multi-link suspensions at all four corners.

Reviewer score 55% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

Confirmed so far is only a 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine with 201bhp, badged 40 TDI – the model that’s expected to account of the majority of British sales. It features a new twin-dosing exhaust with two catalytic converters and an Adblue injection system that are together claimed to dramatically reduce NOx emissions. The steering, while quite direct in its action, has a synthetic feel and is light in weight.

Pros

Powerful engines
Good ride quality
Decent handling

Cons

Lack of standard equipment

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

Audi Q5 Sportback is the latest model to join the Q5 line-up. The cabin is identical to the standard Q5, with the exception of the touchscreen infotainment system. The new roof line has compromised headroom, but only the very tallest passengers will notice the 17mm height reduction. From launch there will be a choice of one petrol and one diesel, with two plug-in hybrids and the high performance SQ5 TDI.

Pros

Class-leading standard equipment
Excellent infotainment system

Cons

Alternatives are more fun to drive
More expensive than the standard Q5

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:

The new Q5 Sportback is a pleasantly homogenous, accessible and interactive piece of kit. Supportive, Yes. Schoolmasterly, No. Dynamically, the four rings are right up there with the blue-and-white roundel and the three-pointed star, but ticking all the relevant boxes is going to cost you. The petrol-fed SQ5 offered in the US is unfortunately not an option for Europe.

Pros

Comfortable to drive
Fantastic infotainment system
Comfortable ride

Cons

No PHEV option in the US

Reviewers from carwow have found:

The new Audi Q5 Sportback is an SUV for people who don't want to look like they've bought an SUV, so it has a seriously rakish profile, like the BMW X4. It's Audi's third coupe-styled SUV after the Q3 Sportback and Q8. From the front, it only looks subtly different to the standard Q5. But you'll see a much bigger difference from the side. The new car will go on sale first with a pair of 2.0-litre engines – a 204hp 40 TFSI petrol and 204 horsepower 40 TDI diesel.

Pros

Sleek looks
Improved infotainment system

Cons

More expensive than the standard Q5
