Confirmed by multiple sources within Audi and rumored by just about every automotive news outlet, the A5 Sportback wil be a stylish 5-door variant somewhere between a coupe and an Avant. The A5 Sportback marks and expansion of the 'Sportback' family of cars from Audi that was begun with the A3 and will also see an A7 version once that model is launched.
Drawings sourced directly from Audi AG's design department suggest a face lifted wholesale from the successful A5 coupe, so everything ahead of the A-pillar is expected to be shared with the two-door. Two rear doors will be added to the sides, though the low-slung roof of the coupe also appears to be retained, with an up-swept rear window line consistent with that of the Sportback concept shown at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show.
