Car: Audi S5 Sportback

- Rahul Richard

Choosing between a beautiful two-door coupe and a boring four-door sedan is an eternal battle between the head and the heart. Does it make sense to spend more than Rs 60 lakh on, what many might think, an impractical, inefficient alternative to the older diesel Mercedes-Benz C-Class parked in the garage?

That’s where the Audi S5 Sportback comes in. It’s not too large, has four seats, is comfortable and easy to drive, looks pretty darn good and, most importantly, has that sweet-sounding 3.0-litre V6 engine that doesn’t fail to entertain. The S5 Sportback’s supercharged 3.0-litre V6 puts out 440 Nm of torque, with Audi’s claims of 0-100 kmph time of 5.1 seconds.
