The S5 Sportback is a four-door coupe. It features Audi's single-frame grille and has an overall sporty look. The car rides on 19-inch alloy wheels and has quad exhausts. It also has pillar-less doors. On the inside, it gets the usual set of features including a touchscreen infotainment head-unit and a digital instrument cluster.

Looking at the bizarre pricing of Q2, I wouldn't be surprised if they price this at:

I am guessing they'll launch this also in 5 variants : Slow, Slow 1, Fast 1, Fast 2, SuperFast.

If Audi doesn't price this car right and mess up like they did with the Q2, I bet the few cars they sell would be only until the BMW M340i xDrive comes out.

I hope that Audi price this one more sensibly.
The Q2 with its obscene pricing has already killed any potential sales.
The S5 sportback is a seriously good looking car and the performance numbers do justice to its nametag.
I do hope they keep it around 75L on road to have any meaningful shot at good sales numbers.

When is it launching? Anyone has any info on it?

M340i competitor, the Audi S5 Sportback is coming soon!

Audi India has teased the S5 Sportback, it is expected to be launched in March 2021 and will get a 3.0-litre V6 TFSI engine which produces 354 hp and 500 Nm. 0-100 kmph is done in just 4.7 seconds.

So going by Audi's initial teaser of the Audi A4 where they had coyly revealed the pricing in the number plate, the S5 should be INR 53.02 lakh ex-showroom India!

The S5 Sportback facelift packs a punch with the 3.0-litre V6 TFSI motor

The Audi S5 Sportback packs 349 bhp and 500 Nm of peak torque.

ZF derived 8-Speed gearbox is, well absolutely terrific.

The four-door package makes a lot more sense for India than the two-door coupe, given the sheer practicality it offers

The single-frame grille continues to bring an imposing element to the look of the S5 Sportback

You also get Matrix LED headlights which adds to the bejewelled look.

Much better-looking car than the 340i, but knowing Audi and the fact that this is a CBU means the price is likely to be 75-80L ex showroom and that will make it a very hard sell against the 340i. Performance-wise, the 340i will blow this away.

This review is disgustingly biased.

Sad how journos are letting go of their credibility at the cost of "Exclusivity"

The S5 feels more special than the 3 series as there is no A5 in India. However a 10 lakh rupee premium is just not going to work for the market. Audi India as usual getting it wrong with their pricing and strategy. Even if it doesn't justify assembling it in India, they out to price it at a 5% premium to the BMW to make it move off the shelf.

This car is dead on arrival IMO
