The Audi Q5 Sportback has been launched in Australia as the coupe-styled version of the Q5 mid-size SUV. Priced from $84,500 plus on-road costs – or $3500 more than the regular Q5 – the Sportback will be available in the same model structure as the regular Q5 range with 2.0-litre turbo-petrol, 2.0-litre turbo-diesel and 3.0-litre V6 turbo-petrol engine options available. Available to order now, the Q5 Sportback will enter local Audi dealerships soon.

Originally revealed in November 2024, the new Q5 Sportback is the sportier-looking variant of the Q5 range, thanks to its sloping roofline and revised rear end that creates a sportier silhouette, according to Audi. Despite the change in shape, practicality is affected only slightly with 515 litres of cargo space compared to the regular Q5’s 550 litre space. Folding the rear seats expands capacity to 1415 litres.

Available drivetrains for the Q5 include a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol and 2.0-litre turbo-diesel, both making 150kW of power (the petrol makes 340Nm of torque and the diesel 400Nm), with all-wheel drive reserved for the diesel. Above that sits the 3.0-litre V6 turbo-petrol engine in the SQ5, making 270kW of power and 550Nm of torque. Every Q5 and SQ5 uses a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, while all variants also use a mild-hybrid set up to reduce fuel consumption.

Thanks to the mild-hybrid set up, the Q5 Sportback diesel claims combined fuel consumption of just 5.4L/100km with CO2 emissions of 141g/km, and the petrol 5.7L/100km and 130g/km. Even the more powerful SQ5 uses only 7.6L/100km and emits 173g/km.
