Audi recently revealed pricing information for its brand new 2019 RS5 Sportback.
Customers will be able to purchase an example of the luxurious sedan starting at $74,200. Priced at $4,300 more than the coupe, the five-door Sportback is a dynamic-looking alternative to the two-door. The RS5 fastback joins A5 and S5 variants. All look lovely, but the RS5’s fender drama gives it a bit more flash.
The Sportback’s zero-to-60 mph sprint time is just 3.8 seconds. The fastback sedan is 0.1 seconds slower than the coupe version, but it will hit the top speed of 155 mph.
The speed comes by way of the RS5’s twin-turbocharged, 2.9-liter V6 engine, which makes 444 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque; an eight-speed ZF gearbox sends the power to the wheels. Speed-minded customer can also select the new Dynamic Plus Package in order to increase the max speed to 174 mph.
As far as looks go, drivers won’t be disappointed. The 2019 RS5 features a slightly lowered stance than the coupe, with lines that are fleet and muscular.
The Sportback comes standard with Audi Virtual Cockpit, Audi MMI Navigation Plus, Audi Connect Prime & Plus, and more.
