The Q5 Sportback is the brand's third coupe-style SUV, behind the Q3 Sportback and e-tron Sportback. The range is made up of two equipment versions (Advanced and S-Line), which are differentiated by aesthetic details.

Both versions present a mild hybrid propulsion system composed of a 245-horsepower 2.0 turbo gasoline engine and another electric engine that serves as support. It is associated with the efficient 7-speed S-Tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission and the Quattro Ultra all-wheel drive.
