An RS5 Avant prototype has been spied on the Nürburgring and it's expected to pack a plug-in hybrid punch
The Audi RS5 Avant has been spied undergoing testing on the Nürburgring. It replaces the RS4 Avant and will likely debut next year as a 2026 model. The wagon could be powered by a new plug-in hybrid powertrain. Audi is gearing up to introduce the redesigned A5 in the second half of the year, so it’s not surprising that attention is turning to the upcoming RS5 Avant. Set to replace the RS4 Avant, the model is a high-performance wagon that is expected to pack a plug-in hybrid punch.
The rear end is heavily disguised, but the wagon has eye-catching taillights that are connected by a slender strip. We can also see smaller reflectors and a dual exhaust system. Baldauf Spy photographers didn’t get a good look inside, but previous pictures of the mainstream variant have revealed the model will have a freestanding digital instrument cluster. We can also expect a minimalist shifter as well as a more modern design.
