Whenever Audi launches a new S model, enthusiasts’ hearts beat faster. But when the legendary tuner ABT Sportsline takes over, anticipation turns into pure adrenaline! As soon as the new generation of the 2025 Audi S5 Avant was revealed, ABT immediately rolled out a package that transforms this elegant family wagon into a true beast.
We’re talking about a car that combines the versatility of a station wagon with the performance of a serious sports car, now taken to the extreme by one of the world’s most reputable tuning houses. Get ready to discover all the details that make the 2025 Audi S5 Avant ABT such a coveted vehicle.
What Makes the New 2025 Audi S5 Avant So Special?
Starting with its very existence. Audi decided to simplify things, and what we once knew as the A4/S4 Avant now joins the A5/S5 family. This means the 2025 S5 Avant is, in practice, the spiritual successor to the S4 Avant but with a refreshed design and all the new technology of the B10 generation. It’s a change that may confuse some, but for others, it represents a natural evolution in the brand’s sporty lineup.
Inside, the cabin has been completely redesigned. Forget the countless buttons; now, the spotlight is on the MMI Panoramic Display, a giant curved screen that integrates the digital instrument cluster and the infotainment system. It’s an impressive technological leap that places the S5 Avant at the top of its segment in terms of digitization, and if you love cars with cutting-edge technology, this Audi will definitely appeal to you.
ABT Sportsline: How to Turn an S5 into a Monster?
The magic of ABT Sportsline starts under the hood. The 3.0L V6 TFSI engine, which already delivers a respectable 367 horsepower in the stock version, receives a significant upgrade. With the ABT Power S control module, power jumps to around 440 horsepower, a figure dangerously close to Audi’s former RS models. Torque also grows, reaching an impressive 443 lb-ft (600 Nm), ensuring breathtaking launches and acceleration.
But ABT is not just about the engine. The package includes visual elements that emphasize sportiness, such as front spoilers, side skirts, and a rear diffuser. The ABT wheels, usually larger and with exclusive designs (20 or 21 inches), complete the aggressive look and are an important aesthetic differentiator. For those seeking the full package, an ABT sport exhaust system delivers a soundtrack worthy of the performance—a detail that makes all the difference for powerful car enthusiasts and that you can also check out on other sports cars like the 2026 BMW M2 CS.

Pricing and Global Availability: Where to Find This Beast?
The availability of the 2025 Audi S5 Avant—and consequently the option to apply the ABT package—varies widely. In Germany, home to Audi and ABT, it will be readily available through the tuner’s own network. In markets like the United States and United Kingdom, the S5 Avant’s arrival is expected, and ABT has a presence to offer its modifications by special order.
In other countries like China, Japan, Brazil, Russia, India, and the Middle East, factory availability of the S5 Avant needs to be confirmed locally with Audi. Importing a model with the ABT package would be a more complex and costly process, depending on regulations and the presence of specialized importers. Detailed information for 2025 is still scarce for some of these regions, making acquisition a challenge for most. The ABT package price alone already represents a considerable investment, comparable to some urban electric cars.
Direct and Indirect Competitors: Who Challenges the S5 ABT?
The stock Audi S5 Avant competes directly with models like the BMW M340i xDrive Touring and the Mercedes-AMG C43 4MATIC Estate. These are fantastic cars with powerful engines (the latest C43 has a 4-cylinder hybrid) and a lot of luxury, offering an excellent balance for daily use and fun driving moments.
But when ABT steps in, the S5 Avant leaps to a performance level that approaches even more extreme or tuner-prepared models. It goes from being “just” a fast sporty wagon to a machine with a tuning pedigree, something that sets it apart from direct factory competitors and positions it in a nearly unique spot in the high-performance wagon market. Its performance with the ABT kit can rival even higher-segment or high-powered electric cars like the 2026 Dodge Charger Sedan (electric).
Quick Comparison (Estimates)
- Audi S5 Avant ABT: ~440 hp, 443 lb-ft, 0-60 mph ~4.0-4.3s. Advantages: ABT Performance, Exclusivity, Audi Technology.
- BMW M340i xDrive Touring: ~374 hp, 369 lb-ft, 0-60 mph ~4.4s. Advantages: Praised driving dynamics, smooth and powerful inline-6 engine.
- Mercedes-AMG C43 4MATIC Estate: ~408 hp (new 4-cyl hybrid generation), 369 lb-ft. Advantages: Luxurious and tech-rich interior (MBUX), modern hybrid powertrain.
This extra performance from ABT makes the S5 Avant a heavyweight contender, even against high-performance electric machines like the 2026 Alpine A390 (concept) or brutal electric sedans. It’s a car for those who want the best of both worlds: the practicality of a wagon and the thrill
