At the heart of both upgrade stages is the turbocharged six-cylinder petrol engine, which already delivers 270 kW (367 HP) and 550 Nm as standard. With ABT Power S, the SQ5 gains strength to around 440 HP, offering a significant increase in dynamics. For customers who want to unlock the full potential of the engine, the ABT Power R power upgrade is also available. Here, output rises to approximately 346 kW (470 HP) and 650 Nm. The top speed remains in line with the standard model, but the SQ5 accelerates considerably more impressively and delivers noticeably more pulling power in all driving situations.
To perfectly complement the enhanced drivetrain both visually and dynamically, the SQ5 receives a comprehensive individualization package. The ABT aerodynamic components — including the ABT front spoiler and ABT rear apron insert — give the vehicle an even more distinctive, wider and sportier appearance. The lines are sharpened, particularly on the Sportback, whose coupé-like silhouette is especially effectively accentuated by the new add-on parts.
Four ABT exhaust tips in matte black stainless steel with a diameter of 102 millimeters make a clear statement at the rear and visually complete the rear view. They underline the sporting character of the vehicle and make the increased performance tangible even at a glance.
Appropriately dynamic road manners are provided by the ABT suspension springs, which lower the vehicle by 40 to 45 millimeters. The SQ5 Sportback sits more planted, benefits from reduced body roll, and gains additional road presence. Combined with the wheel and tire package, the result is a coherent overall package that impresses both visually and dynamically.
A central design and performance element is the 22-inch ABT EVO Sport wheels in glossy black, fitted with tires in the dimension 255/35 ZR22. They powerfully fill the wheel arches, enhance the sporty appearance, and contribute to precise handling thanks to their lightweight construction. The combination of lowering, large-format ABT EVO Sport wheels and aerodynamic components makes the ABT SQ5 an SUV with an exceptionally dynamic presence.
Inside, ABT focuses on targeted, high-quality refinements. The ABT door entry lighting welcomes driver and passengers with a brand-typical light motif, while ABT floor mats add a sporty yet elegant detail to the interior. These elements create a subtle but clearly perceptible difference from the standard model and underline the exclusive character of the overall package.
The complete ABT package for the SQ5 includes the ABT Power R performance upgrade, aerodynamic components, exhaust system, ABT suspension springs, 22-inch ABT EVO Sport wheels with tires, and interior refinements. The package price is €21,000.00 including 19% VAT, plus mounting costs of €3,520.00 including VAT, painting and TÜV inspection. For vehicles with air suspension, a variant without suspension springs is available at a package price of €20,700.00 including 19% VAT, plus mounting costs of €1,980.00 including VAT, painting and TÜV inspection. The ABT Power S performance stage with 440 HP is also available for the SQ5 and SQ5 Sportback and can be selected as an alternative to the Power R variant.
With this comprehensive program, ABT Sportsline transforms the Audi SQ5 and SQ5 Sportback into extraordinarily dynamic yet everyday-capable performance SUVs that stand out clearly from the standard model both visually and technically, offering a particularly emotional driving experience.
