2020 Audi A5 Sportback Mild Hybrid 2.0 TFSI S tronic | sgCarMart x Torque Reviews

[@sgcarmartreviews]

Hi guys, we take your point that 148hp is a bit low for a 2L turbocharged engine. Our reviewers’ point is that 270nm of torque is sufficient for general use in Singapore’s context. In fact, Julian acknowledged that the car isn't mighty powerful at 8:44 - Jon

[@frozzbite]

There is really only one real online car sales platform in Singapore. You guys shouldn't be afraid.

[@gabriellim2293]

Julian's laughter at 10:34 is gonna haunt me in my sleep HAHAS!

Wanted to do a stage 1 tune on this car and when it was dyno tested it actually puts out 183 hp and 307nm stock. I don’t know why Audi would publish much lower figures for this car. Maybe it was based on comfort settings instead of the dynamic setting but I realise I save more fuel on my dynamic setting than my comfort maybe due to better pick up.

[@isaaccheong2327]

might be a "happy dyno".

[@shekharmoona544]

A5 sport back has a beautiful profile.

[@ichheieferit]

Looks like both of them enjoyed the drive.

[@forestnite52]

148hp... be weak if going up north. Not sure where did the 2.0turbo power goes to...

[@sog777-z8m]

maybe to the fake vents.

[@benbean1000]

Possible to include fuel consumption from the trip computer in your future reviews?

[@benbean1000]

148 bhp from the 2L,? Is this being tuned down for SG market? Same car elsewhere is 190bhp like the predecessor. I had the B8 quattro and it was 211bhp stock before any tuning. The previous B9 quattro model was 248bhp and its coming from the same engine.

[@sgcarmartreviews]

Hi Andy, I think the higher powered variant with the 2L engine will be available in the near future. - Jon

Hi SGcarMart Review, will you be reviewing these models - RS4 Avant, RS5 Sportback and RS6 Avant? Thanks.

[@ZhongHeng]

Car is definitely a looker in real life as well (saw the green coloured A5), the contour is just so good. However, being so expensive, I don't find how Audi justify the price? The price of mild-hybrid? Who knows.

[@insu1569]

No talk about VW 7spd DSG?

[@MrIronIIoxide]

It is for sure, slightly faster than my Kia Cerato 1.6

[@ianho2909]

May not be eh 🤣🤣🤣

[@wurly164]

I have this car and love it. But I can never get a clear understanding of the electric motor. Some say it's there to start the engine when the auto stop is activated, others say, on the highway at cruising speed, the motor takes over and shuts the engine off for better mileage and is fully electric. I've also heard it works with the engine to accelerate faster.

[@yijiaren2398]

Hi. I am very interested in A5. Many ppl told me that Audi always has a lot of problems. Is it true? Thx

[@wurly164]

@@yijiaren2398 I've had it a year now and no problems at all. They say to change the oil every 10k but do it myself at 7500 miles. I got the 45 model not the 40. The 45 has more power and will put a smile in your face. I also got it with the upgrade of premium plus with the Bang and Olgonson radio. Not sure if my spelling if that. If you can get one with cooled seats do so. My black leather gets hot in summer.

No ambient light? And It doesn't come with wireless charging? Too bad.

[@wee2251]

2.0L NA engine can produces more power than this 2.0L Turbo.....$199K for 148hp....impressive

[@meat_loves_wasabi]

The previous A5 model is better value cos you get 190bhp at around the same price

[@wurly164]

My 2021 is rated at 267 hp ?

[@SingaporeAquaticClips]

As a back seat passenger, I don’t like to be ‘exposed’ when boot is opened. Still prefer a sporty sedan where opening a boot is separated from rear passengers.

[@comments7335]

As always,no negative points about the car reviewed or fuel consumption. WHY? A review is suppose to be unbiase and neutral. It's like you guys are working for Audi.

[@peanutbutter8831]

as always. jealousy. lol

Ok la. Let say compare with usa price. Usd53k for S5.opss, sgd200k =usd143k. You done?

[@ianho2909]

@@hj.ahmad8814 you don’t understand...a car is clearly more expensive in Singapore than in most countries because of our land scarcity which results in policies like COE, ARF and import taxes. So I don’t understand what your point is comparing the car price in Singapore to other countries? Do you not know that the cost of ownership in Singapore is much higher than most countries?? Is this a surprise to you??

SgCarMart should really normalise the audio between Julian and Jeremy. One is much louder than the other. Gives you heart attack with the badly balanced audio.

yes, exactly! the AD bring this variant to extort sg buyer.. my old 10yrs scapped car 2.0 NA already 150hp.. This new tech 2.0 turbo get 150hp?!! Lol, so what is the turbo for? (Don't talk abt tuning)

[@eatdriveplay]

Because it isn’t 148bhp, it’s 188bhp! LOL. I’m amused they read and typed it wrong twice without noticing.

[@stingray6737]

1.3 turbo charged can easily be more than 148bhp

@@eatdriveplay no, its not wrong. It is 148bhp. Confirmed already. They are forcing u to get the higher end quattro ver.

[@frozzbite]

Someone needs to review the scripts of the presenters, ESPECIALLY Julian. It really feels like Audi paid them for the review or they are selling the car. And really they are over describing a lot of things. I mean, how many times do you want to say the accelerator has a sweet spot? Overall, great video, great presenters, but really trashy script. You are are really not working hard to develop credibility.

[@TyyrionLannister]

[@hairulnizam85]

It’s a 2 litre car but so underpowered. Looks beautiful but doesn’t go as fast as it looks. And for that price with that power, not worth it . So sad.

[@rhyanimahykun]

audi without quattro.....

[@MrOng7474]

Why has a 2 litre turbocharged engine become like the past Volkswagen group have used in their 1.4 litres engine with 148hp and 250nm of torque. And the boot size is even smaller than an Korean Avante by 20litres. A clever person would def get the Octavia RS with a similar 2.0 turbocharged engine but with 241hp & 370nm. 0 to 100km/hr in 6.7secs vs this pathetic 9.1secs. FC almost identical. Still can save 60k for the pocket.

[@midlifesmart]

These "auto journalists" have taken to Trump's playbook by dancing the elephant in the room, specifically the absolutely shameless statistic of 148HP and insisting throughout the review how "adequate it is", "how you do not need any more power", how " more power is no good". Come one guys, this is 2 steps back for Singapore's state of auto journalism.

[@伊藤M-i3g]

Don't stand in front of the car.

Julian, can I just ask why do u talk like that? Its sounds unatural haha..especially at 10min 47s when you say 'non stop' i couldnt take it and closed the video . Nonetheless great videoing sequencing.

[@ianho2909]

Love how half the video is spent trying to dress up the car’s ridiculously underpowered engine.. “flowing from corner to corner” ?!!??? “Sweet spot”?!!!??! 0-100 9.1s, there’s no way to dress that up at 200+k SGD
