Audi has extended its ever-widening line-up even further, by unveiling the 'coupe' sibling to its Q5 SUV, the 2021 Audi Q5 Sportback
The sportier-looking variant's unveiling comes roughly three months after Audi debuted the reworked Q5, making it the third Audi SUV to receive a coupe-style Sportback makeover (after the Q3 and e-tron)
The Audi Q5 Sportback is scheduled to launch in late 2021, first on the European market with a 2.0-liter TDI four-cylinder diesel engine producing 150 kW and 400 Nm, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission
This first engine option will be later joined by an entry-level version of the TDI diesel engine making 120kW and sending power to the front wheels only

All Q5 Sportback models are all-wheel-drive bar the entry-level 120kW TDI offering, and every variant is equipped with an automatic transmission – no manuals will be offered

Equipped with the 150kW 2.0-litre TDI engine, the Q5 Sportback is also capable of towing up to 2.4 tonnes
Eventually, Audi says plug-in hybrid powertrains will also be offered across two output variants, as well as an SQ5 Sportback performance variant
