Hi all,

Does anyone happen to know the maximum height of the A5 Sportback liftgate/tailgate when open? It seems rather high, at least relative to the car's overall low-profile. Just wondering if I will need to be careful when it's in my garage.

Also, is there a memory setting to adjust the height?

Thanks!

You can set the height

It's exactly 7' from the top-most point to the floor, and the height is adjustable.

Pg 38 of the manual:

“Storing the luggage compartment lid opening position
» Bring the luggage compartment lid into the de- sired open position. The position must be at a certain height or higherto store.
> Press and hold the <= button in the luggage compartmentlid for at least four seconds to store the new open position. A visual and audio signal will follow.
» To set a higher open position, wait at leastfive seconds and then carefully press the luggage compartmentlid upward.
> Press and hold the <= button again for at least four secondsto store the desired opening position”

the <= button mentioned above is the open/close button on the hatch. The pics don’t show up in a copy/paste.

I found it interesting that my wifes XC60 which is about 50% taller than my S5 has a hatch that opens to 7 feet as well. We both clear a hanging light in my garage by two inches

Thanks for the detail. I'm presuming the Canadian models will be the same. Once in a while they inexplicably change things between countries though.

I was wondering if there was some kind of "standard" height. I should check my Outback. Otherwise folks would be smashing their cars in tight parking garages, etc.

It's the same. But the height is measured in metric.
