Powertrain Analysis

The 3.0-liter TFSI V6 uses a twin-scroll turbocharger and produces 354 hp, equivalent to 260 kW, from 5,400 to 6,400 rpm. Maximum output spans a 1,000-rpm operating range.

Peak torque is 500 Nm, or 369 lb-ft, from 1,370 to 4,500 rpm. The torque plateau covers 3,130 rpm and is paired with an 8-speed Tiptronic Sport automatic transmission.

The quattro permanent all-wheel-drive system uses a self-locking center differential. The listed acceleration figure is 4.7 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, while maximum speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h, equivalent to 155 mph.

Chassis and Dynamics

The suspension configuration uses five-link geometry at both the front and rear axles. H&R height-adjustable springs replace the standard spring configuration while retaining the factory adaptive damping system.

Threaded spring perches provide a 15–35 mm ride-height adjustment range. The electronic damper-control function remains integrated with Audi Drive Select selectable modes.

The exhaust system uses four chrome-finished outlets arranged as dual outlets on each side. Active exhaust flaps are incorporated into the quad-outlet system.

Exterior aerodynamic hardware includes an integrated trunk-lid spoiler and a rear diffuser surrounding the exhaust outlets. The front end uses a three-dimensional Singleframe grille, full-LED headlights, and LED taillights.

Dimensions and Practicality

The Sportback body configuration combines four doors, frameless side windows, and a rear liftgate. The roofline uses a coupe-style profile while retaining a rear cargo-access opening.

The cabin includes a 12.3-inch fully digital Audi Virtual Cockpit with S-performance displays and full-screen three-dimensional navigation. MMI Navigation Plus provides a rotary controller, touchpad input, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.

Front sport seats use Fine Nappa leather upholstery, diamond quilting, integrated headrests, pneumatic side bolsters, and a massage function. Aluminum-finish mirror caps are paired with aluminum-optic exterior trim.
