About the A5 Sportback 2.0 TDI quattro 177 Auto

The 2009 Audi A5 Sportback 2.0 TDI quattro 177 Auto is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel car of 1,625 kg with 174 bhp, which works out at 107 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.16 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,792nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 587th quickest of the 1320 Audis here. It leaves better than it pulls: 87.9 mph at the lights is only the 5,957th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Audi A5 Sportback 2.0 TDI quattro 177 Auto 0-60 time?
The Audi A5 Sportback 2.0 TDI quattro 177 Auto reaches 60 mph in 7.07 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,792nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Audi A5 Sportback 2.0 TDI quattro 177 Auto quarter mile time?
15.43 s at 87.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.78 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.16 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Audi A5 Sportback 2.0 TDI quattro 177 Auto have?
174 bhp and 1,625 kg, which is 107 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbodiesel, with 7 gears and a quoted top speed of 222 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Audi A5 Sportback 2.0 TDI quattro 177 Auto?
Closest here on pace: BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe (F36) 420i xDrive 184 (7.04 s), BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe 220 MHEV 170 (7.14 s), BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe (F36) 420d xDrive 184 (6.95 s). Each one can be raced against the Audi A5 Sportback 2.0 TDI quattro 177 Auto in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Audi A5 Sportback 2.0 TDI quattro 177 Auto is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
