2021 Audi A5 Sportback
40 TFSI quattro Premium Plus AWD
40,509 mi
$26,205
Overview
Arguably the most handsome model in the A5 family, the Audi A5 Sportback, slides into 2021 in the wake of last year’s refresh with some extra power, a new trim, and expanded features. That’s a hell of a long list of updates for a relatively new model, especially one that was already quite well sorted. The big news is the introduction of a new 12-volt mild-hybrid system that adds 13 horsepower to either engine option, and it should add some efficiency to boot.
Previously the A5 Sportback was exclusively powered by a single 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This year you have the option of 40 TFSI and 45 TSFI powerplants, both mated to a seven-speed automatic. The 40 TFSI engine was stolen from the A4 lineup and comes with 201 hp and 236 pound-feet of torque, while 45 TFSI engines deliver 261 hp and 273 lb-ft. That’s a 13-hp increase for both that’ll improve performance more than that scant number would indicate, as the hybrid system will help flatten the power curve to deliver more predictable power, especially down low in the rev range.
The first application of this new system is in the new base trim: the A5 Sportback 40 TFSI Quattro. This trim level enjoys newly standard wireless Apple CarPlay as well as lane-departure warning and auto toll-pay to join impressive features like three-zone auto climate control, leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, heated front seats and forward-collision warning with automatic emergency brake.
Mid-level Premium Plus trims get new adaptive cruise control, a top-down, surround-view camera, and lane-keeping assist to go along with the blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic, wireless charging, front and rear parking sensors, and auto-dimming, power-folding mirrors. But the big reason to jump up to the Premium Plus trim is Audi’s Virtual Cockpit digital display. It’s a gorgeous, configurable driver information center that transforms the driving experience. Top-tier Prestige trim gets less attention this year, though heated rear seats are now standard.
Otherwise, things are staying mostly the same for the A5 Sportback, and that’s a good thing. Audi’s MMI infotainment system is one of the most approachable, intuitive, quick, and clean systems out there, and the traditional, no-nonsense, almost Spartan Audi interior design means you’re getting an attractive interior that’ll stand the test of time. Room is plentiful both front and back, though the fastback roofline in the Sportback means there’s slightly less headroom than in the traditional A5 sedan. The tradeoff comes in the form of trunk space. While the A5 sedan offers a slightly cramped 10.9 cubic feet, the Sportback boasts a cavernous 21.8 and a much more attractive profile.
Other changes for 2021 include additions to the base trim’s Convenience package, which now includes a heated steering wheel and parking sensors front and rear. The Black Optic package for the mid-range Premium Plus trim now boasts 19-inch alloy wheels with summer tires, and car-shoppers who pay for this package can now opt for a black roof.
The A5 was already one of the best deals in the compact executive category, and the Sportback was already the best configuration among the A5 options. This year’s changes only underscore that value. While we don’t know the long-term ramifications of the new mild-hybrid system, on paper this looks like a big quality of life improvement that will be nearly invisible.

Amazing car, rides and drives so well. Impressive technology that takes some getting used to but once you do it’s awesome. Really enjoying the car and it handles incredibly well. For this price point, getting a 4dr sports car with a big functional trunk was key and it meets and exceeds.

If you find a listing below $24,482.04, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
Is the 2021 Audi A5 Sportback a good car?
Yes — the 5/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction for this model year.
That kind of feedback suggests you can shop with confidence if the vehicle history and condition check out.
37.7% of listings are marked as good or great deals, so you still have room to be selective.
Is the 2021 Audi A5 Sportback reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
For used buyers, that usually means you should focus less on broad reputation and more on how well each individual car has been maintained, because condition and service history will drive your ownership risk.
What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Audi A5 Sportback?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 81.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should prioritize a pre-purchase inspection and pay close attention to signs of prior bodywork, uneven wear, or deferred maintenance. Focus on the condition of the interior, exterior panels, tires, brakes, and service records so you can separate a clean example from one that has been driven hard or repaired poorly.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Audi A5 Sportback?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer's market, so you can shop patiently while still keeping an eye out for standout listings.

If you find a listing below $24,482.04, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2021 Audi A5 Sportback's resale value?
The current average of $24,467 sits slightly below last year's $26,874.
That softer pricing can help you buy at a more favorable entry point, but it also means future resale will depend heavily on how well you preserve the car's condition and documentation. If you keep mileage reasonable and maintenance records complete, you put yourself in a better position when it's time to sell.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2021 Audi A5 Sportback or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2021 if:
- 37.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 81.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 8.96% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
The bottom line:
The 2021 is a sensible choice if you want a model year with softer pricing, decent inventory, and strong owner satisfaction. If your priority is maximizing value, this year deserves a close look; if you're especially price-sensitive, you can also compare nearby years and focus on the cleanest, best-priced example rather than the badge year alone.
