Audi Launches the A5 Sportsback in Pakistan

The German luxury car maker Audi has released the A5 Sportback in Pakistan. The 2018 Audi A5 Sportback comes in 3 different trims in the international market:

  • Audi A5 Sportback SE
  • Audi A5 Sportback Sport
  • Audi A5 Sportback S Line

Apart from the diesel-only SE model, Audi has launched the other A5 Sportsback models in Pakistan.

As one would expect, a luxury car comes with top of the line features and specifications with a price tag to match.

The Audi A5 Sportback has a starting price of Rs. 6.85 million in Pakistan.

Exterior

The A5 Sportback features trim lines running down the hood of the car which gives the vehicle a “mean” sporty look. The horizontal front grille with the daytime running lights add to that persona giving it a mix of class and sporty demeanor. Bi-Xenon low beam Bi-Xenon high beam headlights are featured here with ellipsoidal lenses.

The rearview mirrors include LED indicators.

Audi rarely changes the back of the car too much and the same holds true for the A5 Sportback. The back features the classic Audi look with sweeping LED lights similar to the A4 and S4 line.

Interior

It may seem overwhelming at first but you’ll notice that the Sportback’s dashboard doesn’t have too many controls. The three spoke steering wheel includes media and other controls such as the windscreen wipers, rearview mirror controls etc.

You can get the optional virtual cockpit in the Sportback for additional price.

The infotainment system supports both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The 7.0 inch LCD display can be used for regular bluetooth audio/video playback as well, includes SatNav.

A5 Sportback comes with a Bang & Olufsen speaker system with 10 speakers including a subwoofer, offering unprecedented audio quality.

Drive select lets you choose between different engine, suspension and steering settings. You can opt for a smoother, comfier ride or a sportier, rougher drivetrain.

The leather seats are heated and electrically adjustable. A sun roof is also included by default.

There’s a lot to like about that huge trunk space. You get 480 litres of boot space which means you can easily pack up for a week long family trip to the northern areas or some place else.

Engine and Safety features

The Audi A5 Sportback comes with a 252 horsepower, 2.0L TFSI engine with a 0-100 time of 5.7 seconds. It has a combined fuel efficiency of 16 km/l. The 7-speed automatic transmission features a dual clutch man sequential auto mode.

There are a number of safety features included such as:

  • ABS
  • Electronic traction control
  • Brake assist system
  • Intelligent driver and passenger airbags with de-activation switch
  • Front and rear side curtain airbags
  • Hill hold assist
  • Central locking
  • Cruise control

Price and Additional Equipment

The international versions of the Audi A5 Sportback start at $42,000 and go all the way up to $49,000. This isn’t the case in Pakistan as the Sportback starts at Rs. 6.85 million minus insurance or registration charges.

Additional options like seat ventilation, convenience key, anti theft alarm and more can be added to the car as well.
