AUDI A5 SPORTBACK SPOTTED IN JOZI AHEAD OF LAUNCH



Audi is launching the all-new A5 Sportback this week to the South African motoring media, but already a few of these sport coupes are doing the rounds. We spotted this red one at a petrol station near Mogale City on the West Rand, Johannesburg. It has no number plates yet so we can assume it’s quite new. The model was the 3.0-litre TDI which at least confirms that version for the SA market.
The A5 Sportback is an extension of the A5 range which now consists of the Coupe, the Cabriolet and the Sportback. Engines expected for our dealerships include the 155kW 2.0T, the 3.2 V6 and the 3.0TDI. At some point a 3.0T with about 250kW should join the lineup.
We think prices will start from around R415 000 for the 2.0T, R500 000 for the 3.2 V6 and an extra R20 000 for the TDI.
Look out for our report on Friday after we’ve driven it around the KwaZulu Natal area.

Now that’s beautiful unlike the A4 and the more hideous station wagon of the A4.

Are they also going to make an S5 version of off the Sportback?
