Audi A5 to spawn new C-segment 4-door coupe

Audi A5 Sportback

Audi is bringing the whole four-door coupe thing to the premium C-segment market with the Audi A5 Sportback. From the official preview sketches released above, the Audi A5 Sportback is essentially a four-door version of the Audi A5, which technically should be the Audi A4, but these days nearly everyone knows you can apparently create totally new cars just by reshaping the roofline, heh. The other A5 variant to be released in the near future is a cabriolet, which should be largely based on the 2-door coupe’s design but with the roof chopped off.

    Side profile looks unmistakably like Citroen C5….. tagline unmistakably German….. So the Germans claim back their design from the French?

    this would definitely be the next challenger for the merc CLS…. both of them have the advantages here….
    just my opinion dude.

    The rear and the side look like Aston Martin to me. Are they sharing the same platform or designer?

    for me,Audi should come out with this kind of design earlier,bcoz many makers do have the look-alike design stroke now.however,front wheel arch look sexier than the others..some revision on the wheels design maybe? 5 spoke looks familiar.

    Will this have 4 or 5 seats? The current A5 is claustrophobic at the back
