Hot car deal: premium Audi A5 Sportback for £287 a month

Premium-badged coupes are great to drive and offer a slice of luxury which can make longer trips perfectly relaxing, too. But, life can get a bit awkward with just two doors and cramped rear seats, particularly if you have to regularly transport passengers and lots of luggage. Audi has taken care of this little problem by offering buyers the A5 Sportback; a classy four-door coupe model that retains an element of fun, while increasing overall practicality and day-to-day usability. With a superbly crafted interior, economical petrol engines and lots of reassuring safety kit, the A5 Sportback is certainly worth a look. 

What’s so good about this Audi A5 Sportback deal? 

This deal from Applied Leasing lets you cover up to 5,000 miles a year with an initial payment of £3,439.80, then monthly payments of £286.65 over a two-year term. If you’re seeking more flexibility, there are options to increase either the duration of the lease agreement or the annual mileage allowance, but these alternatives will cost you more cash. For example, choosing a 10,000-mile annual limit means an extra £23.53 added to each monthly bill.

Although offered in entry Sport specification, the Sportback comes with generous levels of standard equipment, including 18-inch alloys, LED headlights, front and rear parking sensors, a power tailgate, cruise control, heated front seats, three-zone climate control, and a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen with integrated sat-nav.

Power comes from a 2.0-litre TFSI petrol engine, producing 148bhp via a seven-speed S tronic automatic gearbox, which is enough to propel the ‘35’-badged Sportback from 0-62mph in 9.1 seconds. Average fuel economy is decent enough, with Audi claiming up to 43.5mpg on a mixture of roads.

What’s so good about the Audi A5 Sportback?

If you’re ready to graduate from the confines of a two-door coupe model, then the A5 Sportback is a logical choice. The addition of two extra doors takes very little away in terms of overall style, compared with the regular Coupe, while you still benefit from the same high-quality cabin, efficient petrol engines and impressive standard kit. If you’re after more driving fun in the class, then perhaps look towards the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe, but the Audi ticks a lot of boxes and is one to add to your shortlist.

Anything else I need to know about this deal?

This is a lease deal, often referred to as Personal Contract Hire (PCH), so there’s no option to buy the car at the end of the contract. You are effectively renting the car for the two-year term, but the deal is very flexible so you can adjust the term length, mileage limit and initial payment size to suit, but only at the outset. Once the deal is over, you just hand the keys back and start looking for your next car.
