Audi couldn’t wait until the 24 Hours of Le Mans to unveil its 2013 SQ5 TDI and decided to drop info sooner! So here’s what we know: it features some aggressive exterior styling with new bumpers, a revised grille and a tailgate-mounted spoiler, as well as a sport-tuned suspension that lowers it to the ground by 30mm. There’s also faux-aluminum mirror caps and 20-inch alloy wheels. The inside doesn’t sport as many changes, but they did equip the cabin with sport seats, revised instrumentation and plenty of S badging. But the real goods are under the hood, with power coming from its twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 TDI engine that produces 309 hp, and it’s connected to an eight-speed tiptronic transmission that sends power to a Quattro all-wheel drive system, allowing it to go from 0-62 mph in 5.1 seconds before it tops out at 155 mph.
