2023 A5 Sportback Exterior
Audi has a lot of experience designing attractive executive vehicles, and the exterior of the A5 Sportback displays this mastery perfectly. The sloping roof gives it that sleek and sporty coupe style that most consumers salivate over, but the practical four-door body and hatchback-style trunk hint at deeper substance. The front fascia is dominated by a large grille, bordered by a pair of lower bumper grilles. S line variants with the more powerful engine have a unique grille design and a more aggressive front fascia. Matrix-design LED headlights are standard, as are 18-inch five-double-spoke alloy wheels. The rear sports a faux diffuser and dual exhaust outlets that complete the image. Opting for the Black Optics Plus Package on compatible Audi A5 Sportback models replaces much of the chrome exterior trim with gloss-black accents. From the base model upwards, a power-operated sunroof is standard.

Dimensions
With a length of 187.3 inches and a width of 79.8 inches including the mirrors, the dimensions of the Audi A5 Sportback position it within the compact luxury segment. A 111.2-inch wheelbase creates a modestly spacious cabin, but the height of 54.6 inches means that headroom is limited, especially at the back, where the roof slopes. Curb weight starts at 3,725 pounds, which is pretty heavy, but since AWD is standard across the range, it doesn't vary much beyond that.
