Audi A5 Sportback 2018 in-depth review | Mat Watson Reviews

  • Take the Audi A5 coupe and slap two extra doors on, and behold; the Audi A5 Sportback! However, Audi didn’t stop there, they also gave the A5 Sportback the high quality interior of the Audi A4. So, you get the extra space of having two rear doors, 15 litres more boot space than the coupe to be precise, and the superior interior of an executive car. Is it worth the extra cost? Would you be better off saving that money and just sticking with the Audi A5 coupe, or opting for one of its rivals, the Mercedes CLS or BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe? The former with a hefty price tag. Find out all my thoughts in this 4k video review.

      I don't know why Mat seems to be hush on Audis and I'm sorry but Audi so far will never make a RWD coz it seems every generalist turns to criticize FWD and praise RWD .Lets be honest the A5 Sportsback is beautiful

    • @proslayer22
      @proslayer22 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The A5 sport back featured here actually look like the peugeot 508 2013 from the front. The design and edges 😂

      Sportback sedans are what I'd choose over an SUV. Examples other than the A5? Tesla Model S, Kia Stinger, Volkswagen Arteon, Porsche Panamera.

    Love watching carwow reviews even though I'm a Brit living in the US and a lot of the cars reviewed aren't even here. One suggestion, when transitioning from reviewing the interior/exterior to actually driving the car, filming how the engine starts would be a nice touch. Maybe show how the car ignition works first (key or start/stop button) then show the exhaust as the engine turns on so we can hear the car's engine note too. Nothing too long, just a 5 second clip so we can hear how the engine lights up depending on if it's a petrol/diesel/electric, etc...
    Keep up the great work

  • @seanzal
    @seanzal 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    There are a lot of comments comparing the new shape of the A5 to the Mondeo. That's awful for Audi.
    The original 'old' 2008 A5 and its 2012 facelift were an original design for Audi. Nothing could touch it looks wise in its time.
    The now 'old' A5 is still a stunner and I believe was THE inspiration for the BMW 4 Gran Coupe, the Ford Mondeo Fusion and the new Merc C Class coupe. I don't think this can be disputed. Audi's single angular grill was aggressive and mean. Everyone copied it.
    Audi had a chance to really improve on the original A5 but have decided to follow the others after it Originally Inspired them, if that makes sense which is a little disappointing.
    However this is not to take away from the quality vehicle it is. It's faster more efficient and built beautifully.

    man, I am in the process of buying a car, and can't decide whether to get Audi or VW.
    These videos are great, they give me great insight on the details. It is a lot of money to spend it without the due diligence.
    I grew up with VW and used to have a Passat in the US which I loved, but now I am in Europe and I want to see if the extra price of an Audi is worth it.
