The AUDI A5 SPORTBACK (2011-16) 5DR SPORTBACK QUATTRO 2.0 TFSI SS 211 EU5 BLACK EDITION 6SPD is a five-door hatchback, blending sleek coupé-inspired styling with practicality. In the UK, it sits between family hatchbacks and executive saloons, offering a distinctive alternative to mainstream choices while retaining doors and a boot. With 211 horsepower and quattro four-wheel drive, it feels assured in poor weather, while Black Edition adds a sharper look. It suits commuters and families wanting comfort, space and presence, though running costs may exceed those of hatchbacks.
