The Audi Q5 TFSI e quattro has been tuned by ABT Sportsline yet again, this time emerging with a visual makeover on top of the boost in power that has been available since earlier this year. Consisting of the new front skirt attachment, tweaked fog lamp surrounds, extended fenders, larger side skirts and updated rear bumper with new diffuser and cutouts for the quad rounded exhaust pipes, the aero kit brings a sporty flair to the premium compact SUV.
Other parts are also available for the Q5,
such as the optional roof-mounted spoiler and 22-inch alloy wheels with glossy
black body and diamond-finished flange that are part of the tuner’s GR series.
The ABT logos, aftermarket integrated entrance lights, push-button start switch
cap and gearshift cover round up the updates.
The plug-in hybrid Q5 continues to be
offered with the ‘ABT Power’ performance upgrade, which lifts the combined
output of the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and electric motor to
419 HP and the torque to 550 Nm. As a result, the
ICE pushes out 306 HP and 420 Nm, up from the
standard 248 HP and 370 Nm.
There is still no word on the performance
of the tuned SUV, but the stock Q5 TFSI e, which has 362 HP and 500 Nm, does the 0-100 km/h sprint in 5.3 seconds
and has a 239 km/h top speed.
