The AUDI A5 SPORTBACK (2011-16) 5DR SPORTBACK 1.8 TFSI SS 170 EU6 S LINE MTRON AUTO8 is a premium five-door hatchback with a sleek, coupe-inspired shape and a useful rear hatch. In the UK, it sits between a family hatchback and an executive saloon, offering a more distinctive alternative to a BMW 3 Series or Mercedes C-Class. With a petrol engine, automatic transmission and S line trim, it suits commuters and couples wanting comfortable motorway travel, while the five-door layout and generous boot make it practical for small families. Its smart cabin, composed drive and sporty-looking design give it a more special feel than mainstream family hatchbacks, without losing everyday usefulness. mycarcheck.com has recorded 35 checks across 16 different cars, a snapshot rather than a huge sample.
