The AUDI A5 SPORTBACK (2009-11) 5DR SPORTBACK QUATTRO 2.0 TDI DPF SS EU5 170 6SPD is a premium five-door hatchback with a sleek, coupe-inspired shape and useful everyday practicality. In the UK used-car market, it sits between family hatchbacks and executive saloons, offering a more stylish alternative to conventional estate cars while retaining space for passengers and luggage. Quattro four-wheel drive and the 170-horsepower diesel make it appealing for motorway commuters and drivers who want confident grip in poor weather, while the six-speed manual keeps the drive engaging. It can suit couples or small families needing one car for work and weekends, although its lower roofline is less airy than some rivals. Against BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class rivals, the A5 stands out for styling and hatchback access.
