If you see the word “Sportback” appended to the name of an Audi model, that means it falls under the brand’s broad definition of a coupe. In the case of the Q5 Sportback, that translates into a sleeker version of the
Q5 compact SUV that sacrifices some practicality in the name of style. This is one of the many models bridging the gap between cars and crossovers in a bid to ensure there’s a vehicle out there for every buyer. Despite the physical differences, the Q5 Sportback is mechanically very similar to the regular – and popular – Q5.
