Abt Sportsline’s kit for the Audi Q5 gives it an aggressive outward appearance thanks to a new front end with huge air inlets, a quad-tailpipe rear, 20 inch Abt wheels and a lowered stance thanks to the Abt Sportsline suspension, which results in a lower center of gravity.

Power for the 2.0 liter TDI unit is uprated by 20hp to 190hp while the more potent 3.0 liter TDI unit gets a 70hp upgrade to 310hp. The petrol option equipped with the venerable 2.0 TFSI EA888 engine gets upgraded from 211hp to 240hp. To keep up with the additional power, brakes have also been upgraded to 380mm discs.

    This car is way better than the porsche cayenne, volvo, and bmw x5. I doubt it price can be competitive as well. This will be my option compare to others i’ve mentioned.

    SERIOUSLY OVER DESIGNED. I USED TO LOVE AUDI DESIGN AS IT SIMPLE AND ELEGANT. BUT SINCE R8 LAUNCH, AUDI SEEMS VERY AMBITIOUS ON DESIGNING THE AUTOMOBILE. UNTIL IT LOST TRACK ON SIMPLICITY. BAN AUDI!!

    its technically not Audi’s design but ABT’s who are totally independent. I think the standard Q5 looks pretty simple and elegant, but with ABT’s additions, its downright outrageous.. this is one car you cant drive around without being noticed and if thats your thing and if you can afford it, why not?
