Even with the additional doors, the Sportback has a claimed ability of reach 62 mph in just 4.7 seconds, same as its Coupe counterpart.

The latest crop of cars tested by the IIHS, a trio of Audis, took home Top Safety Pick designations. The 2018 Audi A4 Allroad, A5 Coupe and A5 Sportback each earned their accolades thanks to good crashworthiness ratings and superior crash avoidance tech.
