Engine Displacement: 2,995 cc
The S5 Sportback is powered by a 3.0-litre V6 TFSI petrol engine featuring a twin-scroll turbocharger located within the "V" of the engine bank. For 2026, this unit is refined for immediate throttle response and high-end power delivery. It employs the Audi Valvelift System (AVS) to optimize intake, ensuring the engine remains efficient during city crawls while providing a visceral V6 soundtrack under heavy acceleration.
Max Power: 349 bhp @ 5,400–6,400 rpm
Generating nearly 350 horsepower, the S5 Sportback is a significant step up from the standard A5. This output allows for effortless high-speed cruising and a relentless surge of power that stays consistent all the way to the redline.
Max Torque: 500 Nm @ 1,370–4,500 rpm
A massive 500 Nm of torque is available from just 1,370 rpm, effectively eliminating turbo lag. This low-end torque is managed by the Quattro system to provide explosive exits from corners and a highly responsive feel in stop-and-go Indian traffic.
0-100 km/h: 4.8 Seconds
With a 0-100 km/h time of 4.8 seconds, the S5 Sportback is firmly in sports car territory. This acceleration is made possible by the rapid-fire shifts of the Tiptronic gearbox and the superior traction of the permanent all-wheel-drive system.
