Audi A5 Sportback 2017 practicality review | Mat Watson Reviews

The Audi A5 Sportback gains an extra couple of doors and a longer wheelbase over its Coupe sibling. At 480 litres, the boot is 15 litres larger too, but the hatchback opening makes that space so much easier to access. Is it worth sacrificing style for a little extra usability? Is the passenger space that much of an improvement on the Coupe version, or would you be better off going for the cheaper Audi A4? Find out all my thoughts on all the space, cubby holes, and all things useful in this practicality review.

A5 looks real life very good, looks better than A4 sedan or Avant and its better car compared to VW, i choose A5 Quattro or much cheaper Passat Variant

I'm 5ft 11 and I sat in a a5 sport back today. My head was touching the roof i understood because of the design but was still very disappointed

You tested the A5 Sportback and the S5 Sportback. which transmission did you prefer, S-TRONIC or Tiptronic? I don't understand why they swapped them in this generation A5. Audi says it is because of the torque, but the S-TRONIC is used in other high torque models like the R8.

Does the hatch mean I can transport my Labrador back there? That would save me the necessity of a small SUV.

How does the rear space compare to an A4?

Would love this car if it kept the boot. Add the extra two doors but keep a regular boot and call it an A5 sedan. Hatchback tailgate are the biggest load of bullshit.

Tesla Model 3 has more storage upfront and seats folded down with a frunk.

And no tunnel hump for the middle seat.
