The model
Read full Audi A5 Sportback reviewThe A5 Sportback blends coupé-like styling with decent practicality. If you want something that's efficient to run, comfortable and refined, with a beautifully executed interior, it's one of the best coupés for the cash. It also handles well, but if you prefer thrilling and playful rear-wheel-drive dynamics, we'd opt for the excellent BMW 4 Series instead.
The trim

The engine
See full engine specsThis is our pick of the petrols – with 201bhp 40 TFSI it is the best option if you don't fancy a diesel. It provides a considerable performance boost over the 35 TFSI and works really well in every situation (0-62mph takes 7.2sec – about the same as the BMW 420i) without pushing up the running costs. Officially, it averages the same 45mpg as the 35 TFSI.
