Audi's working on a second liftback body style for its latest A5, but this one might be reserved for China.
New body style may be limited to China, where Audi offers the unique A5L long-wheelbase sedanthat goes on sale next spring is referred to by the automaker as a sedan, because of its resemblance to a traditional notchback sedan design. However, the car is really a liftback, where a sloped rear window and trunk lid open together as a single tailgate—a design trait shared with the more coupe-like A5 Sportback of the previous-generation A5 range., judging by the prototype in our latest spy shots.
On the A5 already shown it sits at the base of the tailgate, whereas here it sits on the rear fascia.sold exclusively in China, a long-wheelbase A5 that can best be described as a proper sedan, as it comes with a fixed rear window and traditional trunk lid. It's possible this A5 Sportback will be a liftback counterpart to the Chinese-market A5L, meaning it would likely be built alongside the A5L in China by Audi and local partner FAW.
