Overview

THE Audi A5 Sportback first went on sale in Australia in 2010, however, the Four Rings brand has never before offered the five-door body style in full-fat RS5 guise – until now.

Joining the RS4 Avant wagon and RS5 Coupe, the RS5 Sportback has been tipped by Audi Australia to be the second-best selling Audi Sport variant behind the RS3 small car, taking the mantle from the RS4.

Blending the five-seat practicality of the Avant with the sporty styling of the coupe, the RS5 fills the void left by the sedan that has not been offered in the last two generations of RS4.

Does the RS5 Sportback have what it takes to be the second-most popular model in the Audi Sport line-up?
