A5 Sportback in 2026 — what's new

There is no 2026-specific update, so the Audi A5 Sportback carries into 2026 unchanged. Malaysia’s range remains limited to the S line 2.0 TFSI quattro, pairing a 1,984 cc petrol mild-hybrid powertrain with 255 hp, all-wheel drive and a wet dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The significant recent change was the addition of S line trim in 2022. Autonomous emergency braking remains absent.

Verdict

The A5 Sportback delivers the ingredients expected of a compact executive five-door: 255 hp, quattro traction and a dual-clutch gearbox, wrapped in the F5 facelift body introduced in 2020. But the lack of autonomous emergency braking is difficult to overlook in a car at this level. It is a focused one-variant range, not a broad line-up with different budgets or equipment priorities covered.
