2019MY Audi RS5
Sportback model, the Coupe version’s more practical five-door sibling, has been
priced in the U.S. from US$ 74,200, not including a US$ 995 destination charge.
That’s US$ 4,300 more than what you’d spend on the Coupe.
Just as its
two-door brethren, the 2019 RS5 Sportback is also powered by a
twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 engine, cranking out 450 PS and 600 Nm of torque, with the help of an eight-speed automatic and a
rear-biased all-wheel drive system.
In a straight line,
the RS5 Sportback will hit 96 km/h from a standstill in just 3.8
seconds (0.1 seconds slower than the Coupe), before maxing out at 250
km/h. Opt for the Dynamic Plus Package and that number becomes 280
km/h.
Compared to the S5
Sportback, the RS version sits closer to the road by 7 mm. While
the car features a fixed sports suspension setup as standard, buyers can also
choose the adaptive dampers as an option.
For the 2019 model
year, both the RS5 Sportback as well as the Coupe have received notable
standard equipment updates, meaning that you get Audi MMI Navigation Plus, Audi
Virtual Cockpit, Audi Connect Prime & Splus, direct tire-pressure
monitoring system, Audi phone box and rear USB charge ports all free of charge.
Meanwhile, Audi
park steering assist is also new for 2019 – this system can automatically steer
your RS5 Sportback into detected parallel or perpendicular parking spaces.
