Audi has expanded its Q5 line-up in Australia with the introduction of the all-new Q5 Sportback and SQ5 Sportback, combining coupé-inspired design with SUV practicality. Prices start at $84,500 before on-road costs, with five variants available, including the limited-run SQ5 Sportback edition one.
The Sportback range completes the third-generation Q5 line-up, which launched earlier this year on Audi’s Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) architecture with mild-hybrid drivetrains. Compared with the SUV, the Sportback introduces a sleeker roofline and sharper styling cues, while retaining generous space with a 515-litre boot capacity.
