The Audi Q5 Sportback exudes a powerful presence as is typical for the Q models from Audi. Large air inlets flank the octagonal Singleframe. The headlights with their distinctive daytime running light signature feature LED or optional Matrix LED technology. The continuous, elegantly sweeping shoulder line emphasizes the wheels and with them the quattro all-wheel drive. The side sill trim on the doors imbues the CUV with stability and robustness. The greenhouse extends low over the body and begins its downward slope early so that the third side window tapers sharply to the rear. The starkly sloped rear window and the seemingly high-mounted rear bumper give the Q5 Sportback a dynamic and powerful appearance.

This is the 2021 Audi Q5 Sportback - Design Walkaround.
Audi has kept largely true to the standard Q5's design, with three key exceptions. The first is the roof, which slopes down to the taillights, modifying the shape of the C and D pillars. The spoiler is thus elongated, giving the crossover that coupe-SUV look for which so many buyers are (apparently) clamoring. There's good news for rear passengers; Audi says folks in the back seats only lose between one-half and three-quarters of an inch of head room compared to the regular variant.
Next are the front, rear, and sides, which have all been modified to set the Q5 Sportback apart from its conventionally shaped stablemate. The S-Line trim is standard on the Sportback, and it sports a new front-end look featuring an egg-crate pattern within the octagonal Singleframe grille. Finally, the rear has been altered to emphasize the Q5 Sportback's width, and the contrast coloring has been positioned higher to give the appearance that the car is rising from front to back. Its exhaust tips are hidden—although Audi said in the press conference that the SQ5 Sportback will have visible exhaust tips because that's what SQ5 buyers want. The rear lighting is also a notable change, with a new OLED system that has three configurable looks. For safety, the whole housing illuminates under hard braking.
