2017 Audi A5 Sportback
After catching the next-gen Audi A5 in
Coupe, Cabrio & S5 guise on several occasions, it was about time for the
more practical Sportback version to come up for air.
Thankfully, our spy photographers are
always on the lookout, which means that if you've got four wheels and are
wearing camouflage, you're getting scooped.
Now, getting a better look at the 2017
A5 Sportback is important for several reasons. First, it's another car that's
based on the MLB platform, not unlike the all-new A4. Second, as a Sportback
version, the A5 can continue to put up a fight against BMW's 4-Series Gran
Coupe, and that's pretty relevant for people who need more than just a Coupe,
for practical reasons.
Thanks to these images, we're also
getting a better look at the rear taillight LED design, where it's now obvious
that it's probably identical to what the all-new A4 has going on for it, or
nearly identical - as the smaller light strip at the bottom is either not
visible or non-existent in the A5. Otherwise, the exterior design should be
pretty straight-forward, with an A4-like wider front grille, similar spoilers
and with plenty of power-units being passed around between the two.
Inside, we're not expecting any
surprises, especially since we've already seen the semi-camouflaged interior
(they only bothered to cover up the badge on the steering wheel) and everything
looks like it does in the A4.
