About the 2025 Audi RS 6
Current C8-generation RS 6 Avant for the U.S. market; 2025 is a late-cycle year and the second U.S. model year for the higher-output performance version.
Audi positions the RS 6 as a rare mix of supercar-grade speed and real wagon usefulness. Its core appeal is a twin-turbo V8, all-wheel drive traction, luxury-car comfort, and genuine cargo flexibility in a shape that stands apart from the usual performance SUV or sport sedan. For most shoppers, the RS 6 is about getting everyday practicality without giving up drama, pace, or premium cabin feel.
The 2025 RS 6 Avant performance blends sports-car pace with the cargo space and everyday usefulness of a wagon. Its signature equipment includes a 621-hp twin-turbo V8, all-wheel drive, an adaptive air suspension, a 12.3-inch digital instrument display, and 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats. The limited-run Avant GT adds a more specialized version with unique bodywork and its own suspension and rear differential tuning.
