2021 Audi Q5 Sportback UK Version

• The SUV coupe captivates with its powerful and progressive design

• New generation of lighting from Audi: rear lights with OLED technology

• Two all-new models on sale in the U.S. in the first half of 2021

The Audi Q5 Sportback is a real eye-catcher and exudes a powerful presence as is typical for the SUV models from Audi. Large air inlets flank the octagonal Singleframe. The headlights with a distinctive daytime running light signature feature LED or optional matrix-design LED technology. The continuous, elegantly sweeping shoulder line emphasizes the wheels and with them the quattro all-wheel drive. The side sill trim on the doors imbue the CUV with stability and robustness. The greenhouse extends low over the body and begins its downward slope early so that the third side window tapers sharply to the rear. The starkly sloped rear window and the seemingly high-mounted rear bumper give the Q5 Sportback a very dynamic and powerful appearance. 2021 Audi Q5 Sportback UK Version (8R)

Innovative: rear lights with digital OLED technology

SQ5 Sportback models will offer next-generation OLED lighting technology. OLEDs are extremely efficient organic light-emitting diodes that generate a homogenous light surface. The OLED taillight on SQ5 models is split into three tiles of six segments each, which enables Audi designers and developers to create different light designs and signatures from a single item of hardware.

Flexible space configuration: rear seat bench plus

Audi will also offer the newest member of the family with the standard rear seat bench plus, which can be shifted laterally and has adjustable seat back angles. If necessary, it can slide forward to increase the base luggage capacity. On the other hand, it provides enhanced comfort for the rear seat passengers when the seat back and seating surface are all the way back. A power tailgate will be standard. In combination with the optional convenience key in your pocket or purse, it can be opened with a simple foot gesture if you don’t have your hands free, for example.

The engine lineup

The Audi Q5 Sportback will receive a 2.0-liter TFSI® engine and a 12v mild-hybrid electric vehicle system to deliver 261 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. The SQ5 Sportback utilizes the 3.0-liter TFSI® V6 engine which produces 349 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque.

The SQ5 will also come standard equipped with adaptive dampers and offers an available air suspension which allows for adjustment of the ride height in addition to the firmness of the dampers, controllable via the standard Audi drive select. Available dynamic steering offers a variable steering ratio that adjusts based on vehicle speed and the Audi drive select setting. During slower driving, the more direct ratio with fewer steering wheel rotations stop-to-stop and the higher power assist improve comfort. At higher speeds, the more indirect ratio has a positive effect on tracking and provides for high directional stability.

Digital and intuitive: controls and connectivity

For the controls, displays and infotainment, the Q5 Sportback uses the same new technology in the updated Q5: the third-generation modular infotainment system or MIB 3. When fully equipped, the display-based Audi virtual cockpit plus with 12.3-inch display and a head-up display are also on board. The multifunction steering wheel plus enables simple operation of the most important functions and displays.
