Security Meets Style
Using high-grade, lightweight ballistic materials, the Audi Q3 and Q5 provide 360° B4 protection while remaining virtually indistinguishable from a standard factory model. This ensures you move through the city with total confidence and style.
Protection Levels
With Level B6 armour, you will have protection from just about any weapon like AK47s, R1 assault rifles and sniper rifles.
This level of protection will allow you to travel protected into hostile territories. Our Level B6 adds approximately 350-500 kg of additional weight because of the premium lightweight armouring materials we use.
This additional weight still remains under the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), leaving no need to replace any other mechanical components. The turnaround time for a Level B6 build takes on average around eight-ten weeks.
With Level B4 armour, you will have protection against almost all handguns such as 9mm, .40, .45 & .357 firearms.
This level of armour is sufficient to protect you from hijackings, smash and grab attempts, as well as from brick/rock throwing. The glass used also provides protection against fragmentation. Level B4 adds approximately 110-140 kg of additional weight because of the premium lightweight armouring materials we use.
This additional weight still remains under the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and has a very minimal effect on acceleration, handling and performance, leaving no need to upgrade the brakes and suspension. The turnaround time for a Level B4 build takes on average around six-eight weeks.
FAQ’s
B4 armour is the industry standard for protection against general street crime and hijacking. It is designed to stop rounds from all major handguns, including 9mm, .357 Magnum, and .44 Magnum. It also provides comprehensive protection against “smash-and-grab” attacks and stone-throwing.
No. The hallmark of our Discreet Premium Armour is that it remains virtually invisible. We retain the original Audi factory paint, trim, and interior finishes. Even the ballistic glass is curved to match the vehicle’s original profile, ensuring you can travel securely without drawing unwanted attention.
B4 armouring is significantly lighter than B6, adding only approximately 110kg to 150kg to the vehicle. Because we use specialized lightweight synthetic composites and ballistic glass, the impact on the Audi’s acceleration, braking, and fuel consumption is minimal. The suspension usually does not require upgrades, maintaining that signature smooth Audi ride.
Absolutely. The armouring process is precision-engineered to ensure that all factory technology such as the Audi Virtual Cockpit, MMI Touch Response, and parking sensors remains fully functional. Safety systems like airbags and pre-sense features are also maintained to work exactly as intended.
While the rear windows are fixed for maximum security, the front windows are motorized and can be partially opened (typically up to 200mm). This allows you to communicate or pass documents through a secure gap without needing to open the door or fully expose the cabin.
