Product Overview

Audi S5 Sportback B9 (Type 8W6) facelift is a compact executive liftback sedan in production from 2019. It is powered by a V6 turbodiesel engine that displaced 3.0 liters.

For this generation, Audi gave the S5 Sportback a mild-hybrid drivetrain, though the difference is, as the name suggests, mild. Audi has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it.

Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Audi S5 Sportback comes with multi-link suspensions at all four corners. This provides the best cornering performance and tunability, at the expense of cost and a little bit of durability.

Reviewers from autocar have found:

The Audi S5 Sportback is a well-resolved cruiser. It handles with more agility than you might expect, too. While the four-wheel drive system detracts from any sense of playfulness, the security and stability is a worthy trade-off in everyday driving. The first tank of fuel has delivered an indicated 34mpg figure.

Pros

Powerful diesel engine
Comfortable to drive

Cons

Laggy gearbox calibration
Ride comfort could be better

Reviewers from cnet have found:

The best thing about the S5 Sportback is a trait I've found in Audi's other S cars: great balance. The RS5 has this nice balance as well, but it's $20,000 more expensive than an S5. The S5 gets a few little updates this year, including refreshed LED headlights and taillights.

Pros

Gorgeous interior
Excellent infotainment tech
Comfortable to drive

Cons

No rear-wheel-drive option
No third-row option
