Discover all 2026 Audi Sportback models
Love the look of a coupe, but don’t want to give up comfort, all-wheel drive and day-to-day practicality? That is exactly what Audi Sportback models deliver.
At Audi Anjou, we often describe the Sportback as a more dynamic body, offered across two main families: SUV Sportbacks, such as the Q5 and SQ5, Q4 E-tron, Q6 and SQ6 E-tron, and sedan Sportbacks, such as the A6 E-tron and S6 E-tron. In both cases, the idea stays the same: a sleeker style, a practical tailgate and a premium driving experience.
To drive in Anjou, in Montreal, on the North Shore or toward the Laurentians, the Sportback is a compelling pick if you want a premium vehicle that stands out without losing everyday usefulness.
What makes Audi Sportback models so popular?
An Audi Sportback is first recognized by its silhouette. The roofline flows more, the rear is more streamlined and the whole gives a sportier impression than a traditional model.
On an SUV, the Sportback adds a more coupe-like look while keeping a higher driving position. On a sedan, it brings a sleeker line and a practical tailgate, which makes loading easier compared with a conventional trunk.
That balance is what appeals: you get the style, plus flexibility. For Quebec, quattro all-wheel drive offered on many models also adds welcome peace of mind when conditions change quickly.
Overview of Audi Sportback models
Audi Q5 and SQ5 Sportback: the versatile choice
The Q5 Sportback is a compact luxury SUV with a sportier silhouette. It offers 268 horsepower, 295 lb-ft of torque, a 7-speed S tronic transmission and standard quattro all-wheel drive. A 0 to 100 km/h time of 6.2 seconds provides lively responses without sacrificing comfort. It suits professionals, active couples and small families looking for a comfortable, versatile vehicle that is easy to live with day to day.

The Q5 Sportback and SQ5 Sportback are aimed at drivers who want a premium compact SUV that is practical and more stylish than a traditional SUV. Pricing starts at $69,600* for the Q5 Sportback and $84,400* for the SQ5 Sportback.
In both cases, the format remains very functional: a practical tailgate, a 40/20/40 split-folding rear bench and enough room for luggage, sports gear or weekend getaways.
With a towing capacity of up to 4,400 lb. (1,996 kg), the Q5 Sportback and SQ5 Sportback can also address concrete needs, such as pulling a small trailer, some recreational equipment or an occasional well-adapted trailer.

Audi A6 E-tron Sportback: elegance redefined
The A6 E-tron Sportback is a high-end electric sedan. It does not play the same role as a Q4 or a Q6 Sportback E-tron. It is lower, sleeker and more road-focused.

How to choose your ideal Audi Sportback?
The right choice mostly depends on how you will use it.
If you want a higher driving position and a practical format for family life, luggage or Quebec winter, start with an SUV Sportback. The Q5 Sportback is the most versatile. The SQ5 Sportback adds performance. The Q4 Sportback E-tron is the entry point to electric and the format that is easiest to manoeuvre in urban settings. Then the Q6 Sportback E-tron offers more range and technology, and the SQ6 Sportback E-tron adds a truly sporty signature.
If you prefer a lower, sleeker and more road-focused drive, a sedan Sportback becomes very appealing. The A6 E-tron Sportback emphasizes elegance, range and comfort. The S6 E-tron Sportback adds very strong electric performance.
The best test is simple: come compare the formats in person. Seat height, trunk access, rear space and the feeling at the wheel change a lot from one model to the next. At Audi Anjou, we help you choose the Audi Sportback that truly fits your everyday routine, your budget and your preferences.
