| Audi A5 Sportback |
Blooming with its amazing upgrade and a
new entrance
Audi has become an icon for style and quality. The A5 was not the
case when introduced but with its face lift, there have been many positive
changes to give a tough time to already established standards. There is a
justice in distributing mechanical and technological tools throughout the
trims. Much is common between coupe, convertible and the newest Sportback. The
one thing which was not taken as a positive was the lesser space inside the
older trims for storage purpose. But this new entry has very effectively ruled
out this little problem and there is a generous space for storing your hand
carries.

Even the coupe and convertible have been given a wave of fresh air to
get this spectacular series back into the market. Even this has given it
something different from its German rivals. Audi claims that the latest Audi A5 is a purely driver’s car with added comfort, if this is
really true then this is not a good news for the leading ones. It has many
sides covered as luxury, performance, technology and comfort making a really
strong case to be in the leading position for the category. Audi A5 engines supply and fit is
available in the market if the need arise.
Engines
present the higher spectrum
Many brands claim a better
performance, but Audi A5 proves it even through its lower end engine capacity.
If a new one is not affordable then Audi
A5 reconditioned engines will serve the purpose well.
Diesel engines: The
starting diesel engine is a 148 bhp which gives a good timing of 9 seconds to
cover 0-62 mph. The figures do not tell the whole story.

| Audi A5 Sportback TDI Engine |
This one is a moderate
one but not a bad choice. Its quicker version with the same 2.0 TDI has a 187
bhp which projects a sport image successfully with good fuel economy and
emission as well. There are also the 3.0-litre V6 TDI Quattro diesels which are
outstanding on road.
Petrol engines: It
cannot be said that the petrol side is less in any respect. The starting 1.4-Litre
TFSI with 148 bhp is also not as impressive and needs a hard push to get to the
desired point. Up next is the 2.0-Litre TFSI engine with 178 bhp which is still a slower one but not very bad.
Its 249 bhp version is very brisk and shows the real Audi speed.

Then comes a
more desirable engine which is a 3.0-Litre with 349 bhp and you can well
imagine how fast this one can get. The timing it takes to reach the 0-60 mph
sprint is an astounding 4.4 seconds which is hardly believable.
Ride and
Handling
These both sides are related
to an impressive suspension where Audi has now mastered. A5 shows a wonderful
ride quality leveling the bumps and pot holes with ease. This is the area where
you judge how well a car is built. The weight distribution really improves this
aspect. There is no problem in the handling side also as Audi A5 is very keen to change directions and
does the task swiftly. There are problems with the open top side and things do
become a little out of line and needs works. But the A5 Sportback
shows all the qualities mentioned above.

Interior with
a high standard
Think of Audi and you get an
image which is of a good quality and it is the case over here. The driving
position and controls are well situated for a good driving experience. There is
high quality materials used inside the cabin with a clear and easy to use touch
screen system. The seats are comfortable with good head and leg room even for
the taller person. As mentioned above the storage space is increased no only as
pockets but also the boot space has increased.
