Audi A5 3.0 TDI quattro S line Sportback — The A5 You Actually Want
There are plenty of Audi A5s for sale.
This is not the ordinary one.
This is the 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel quattro S line Sportback — the version that combines the looks of a European coupe, the practicality of a five-door Sportback and the effortless performance of Audi’s 500Nm V6 turbo-diesel.
With 176kW and 500Nm, it accelerates from 0–100 km/h in just 6.1 seconds. At the time, the 3.0 TDI was actually the quickest engine offered in the A5 Sportback range — and you understand why the first time you put your foot down.
It doesn’t feel frantic or highly strung. It simply builds speed with that huge wave of diesel torque, while Audi’s quattro all-wheel-drive system puts the power down beautifully.
Then select Sport, use the steering-wheel paddle shifters and the character changes again.
The 7-speed S tronic gearbox is quick and responsive, and combined with the V6 it makes this a genuinely enjoyable driver’s car rather than simply a luxury cruiser.
And then there are the looks.
The A5 Sportback is still one of Audi’s best-looking designs — low, wide and beautifully proportioned, with the sweeping coupe roofline disguising the practicality of four doors and a large rear hatch.
Finished in black with the S line interior and exterior treatment, tinted glass and 20-inch alloys wrapped in Falken performance tyres, it has serious presence without looking overdone.
Inside, the S line sports seats, perforated sports steering wheel, paddle shifters and driver-focused cockpit make it feel special every time you get in.
The sound system deserves its own mention
If you love music, this is one of the highlights of the car.
It has a 13-speaker premium audio system with dedicated amplifier and subwoofer, creating a genuinely immersive cabin.
The system is exceptionally powerful but, more importantly, remains clean and detailed at volume. Sit in the driver’s seat with a good recording playing and it feels much closer to being at a live concert than listening to a conventional factory stereo.
It is something photographs simply can’t demonstrate — you need to hear it.
Performance without the ridiculous fuel bill
This is where the 3.0 TDI makes so much sense.
You get V6 performance, 500Nm of torque and quattro AWD, while the factory combined fuel-consumption figure was approximately 6.6L/100km.
That combination is increasingly difficult to find.
It is fast when you want it to be, effortless on the highway and an outstanding long-distance GT.
What makes this car special
* 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel
* 176kW
* Massive 500Nm torque
* 0–100 km/h in 6.1 seconds
* Audi quattro AWD
* 7-speed S tronic
* Steering-wheel paddle shift
* S line sports package
* S line leather sports seats
* 20-inch alloy wheels
* Falken performance tyres
* Premium 13-speaker audio system
* Amplifier and subwoofer
* Electric sports seats
* Dual-zone climate control
* Front and rear parking assistance
* Audi multimedia/navigation system
* Five-door Sportback practicality
* Stunning black-on-black specification
This is the sort of car that makes sense on paper but makes considerably more sense once you drive it.
It has the torque and performance to put a smile on your face, quattro confidence when the road gets interesting, enough space to use every day and the understated styling that has aged exceptionally well.
If you’re comparing this with a standard four-cylinder A5, drive the 3.0 V6 TDI before making your decision. They are very different cars.
It has been a fantastic car and I’d much rather see it go to someone who appreciates what this particular A5 is.
Serious enquiries welcome. Inspection and test drive will not disappoint.

Overview
Joining the growing list of sedans that look as sexy as coupes, the Audi A5 Sportback adds something else: a fifth door that, by any other name, would qualify it as a hatchback. The slinky, versatile Audi is available in either 2.0 TFSI petrol form, or as a 3.0-litre turbo diesel V6, both with Quattro all-wheel drive and seven-speed dual-clutch S tronic transmission. The packaging is similar to A5 coupes except for the extra doors. The turbo diesel V6 version produces 176kW and a thumping 500Nm to reach 100km/h in 6.1 seconds while returning 6.6l/100km.
