The specially designed large brake discs counteract any deterioration in braking effect during heavy use.
In an instant, safety becomes trust.
It only takes a millisecond for a normal driving situation to become a challenge. The best option is
to recognise dangerous situations early and therefore avoid them as far as possible. To this end, the
Audi A5 Sportback has extensive assistance systems. For example, ESP: targeted braking ensures greater
stability while driving. An additional front axle differential lock is at work in front-wheel drive vehicles.
It distributes the drive torques electronically depending on the driving situation and thus actively
intervenes before understeering even occurs. This means more agility and precision when cornering as
well as smoother driving behaviour. The optional Audi lane assist also offers active support by warning
the driver if the vehicle is inadvertently leaving the traffic lane, while the optional Audi side assist
monitors the area at the side behind the vehicle with radar sensors.
But the A5 Sportback is also prepared for all eventualities. You and your passengers are protected by a
comprehensive system that includes adaptive full-size airbags for driver and front passenger with seat
position recognition and a head airbag system. Thorax/pelvis airbags and three-point inertia reel seat
belts on all four seats provide additional safety (with belt tensioners and belt force limiters at front).
The fuel consumption and CO₂ emission figures can be found from page 56 onwards.
