Audi RS 5 Sportback is among the top sports sedans. You may wonder what more Audi can introduce in terms of features, given the brand already successfully launched the Audi A5 and S5 Sportback, which are dominating the sports sedan segment. Well, with the RS 5 Sportback, everything gets bigger and better. A more spacious cabin, better performance upgrades, enhanced comfort, integrated safety, and stunning design are just some of the many standout features.

Performance
The Audi RS 5 Sportback boasts a stunning 2.9L 6-cylinder twin-turbo engine that churns out 442 lbs. of torque powering an 8-speed automatic transmission. Further, the all-wheel drive (AWD) distributes power equally to provide maximum pickup and traction. So, all told, the engine is quite capable of propelling the sports car from 0-60mph in just 3.8 seconds. With a top speed of 155 mph, Audi has definitely upped the ante with this RS 5 Sportback launch. Many sports car enthusiasts would prefer a V8 over a V6. So, Audi features an additional Competition package that boosts the top speed to 180 mph giving it the feel of a V8.

Exterior design
The car’s exterior is designed to provide maximum aerodynamics and minimum drag. So, when you accelerate, it faces minimum resistance on any terrain irrespective of the driving condition. The Audi RS 5 Sportback also has wider fenders, a four-dour roofline that curves to allow optimum airflow, and a wider wheelbase to provide maximum traction. For the top trim, you can even choose custom upgrades with the Competition package or a special Black optic carbon package.

Interior comfort
If you think the exterior design stands out, the interior is certainly going to be a surprise. Both driver and passenger side comforts have been considered for the car’s interior upgrades. The premium leather seating, a stunning 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and an ergonomic design make the Audi RS 5 Sportback worth the premium price tag. You also get paddle shifters for the automatic transmission, so everything is comfortably within reach for a smooth drive. Moreover, the attention to detail is immaculate with ambient lighting and visible accents.

Technology and infotainment
Apart from the 12.3-inch digital gauge display, you also get a dedicated central console infotainment unit that connects with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This 10.3-inch touchscreen makes it really easy to use the car’s wireless features, right from charging phones to controlling apps integrated with the system. Depending on the trim you choose, Audi even installs stunning Bang & Olufsen speakers with surround sound tuning. With an additional $1,500, you can get a dedicated navigation package assist upgrade powered by Google and a six-month subscription to  Audi connect® PLUS. Optional upgrades aside, you can enjoy the standard Audi infotainment and connectivity tools and enjoy on the go.

Safety features
The Audi RS 5 Sportback features multiple optical and radar warning sensors with the Audi side assist with Audi pre sense® rear. These sensors monitor traffic on all sides and provide real-time collision or drifting warning alerts. An adaptive cruise control monitors your throttle and braking response, making the drive smooth and safe. You also get a virtual overhead camera that pans to provide visuals from all sides. Audi’s standard driver assistance package comprises active lane assist, monitoring, and multiple active alert systems preinstalled in the RS 5 Sportback.

Pricing and design
The price of the Audi RS 5 Sportback starts at $78,200 without any additional package upgrades. The price will vary depending on the extra installations you desire with the standard chassis. Moreover, you can choose from eight different exterior colors and explore two unique wheel styles.
