Caralogy Methodology
Performance (0-100, top speed) simulated by the Caralogy physics engine (SCx, Crr, real torque curves). Motorway consumption values estimated from the manufacturer WLTP cycle.

Among the 12 saloons plug-in hybrid, the RS 5 Sedan combines two vehicles in one: an electric sedan for urban use (mid-table), a petrol tourer for long distances. Caralogy puts the RS 5 Sedan through its paces: motorway simulation, consumption simulation and performance simulation.
Tailored to this vehicle?
Home-to-office commute up to 60 km in pure electric. Overnight charging is sufficient.
Regular long motorway trips. Once the 78 km EV range is used up, the car runs on pure combustion at 9.8 L/100, versus 9,1 L/100 km (HEV segment median, N=8). Beyond ~940 km without intermediate charging, an equivalent segment HEV becomes more cost-efficient.
If the priority is Electric WLTP range, the Mercedes C 300 de Estate (1st with 96 km) takes the lead. If the priority is Combined range, the Mercedes C 400 e 4MATIC Limousine (1st with 1003 km) takes the lead.
In the city: 78 km pure electric (mid-table)
With a full battery, the RS 5 Sedan drives in pure electric mode for the first 78 km WLTP - placing it 7th of 12 in Electric WLTP range, behind the Mercedes C 300 de Estate (96 km). In urban and peri-urban use, the RS 5 Sedan behaves like a pure electric sedan in its segment.

Audi RS 5 Sedan: what you need to know
Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.
Where does the RS 5 Sedan rank in its segment?
Among the 12 saloons plug-in hybrid 2024–2028, the RS 5 Sedan ranks 7th of 12 in Electric WLTP range (78 km, behind the Mercedes C 300 de Estate), 11th of 12 in Combined range (570 km, behind the Mercedes C 400 e 4MATIC Limousine), 11th of 12 in Thermal cons. estimated (9.8 L/100, behind the Mercedes C 300 de 4MATIC T-Modell), 6th of 12 in 0–100 km/h (3.7 s, behind the Mercedes AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE).
What is the électrique range of the RS 5 Sedan?
78 km WLTP announced - making it the 7th of 12 in Electric WLTP range out of 12 models. The reference is the Mercedes C 300 de Estate (96 km).
How much does the RS 5 Sedan cost to run?
Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.
Why not a Mercedes C 300 de Estate instead?
The Mercedes C 300 de Estate leads in Electric WLTP range (96 km vs 78 km). The choice depends on your priorities: check the RS 5 Sedan vs Mercedes C 300 de Estate duel for a detailed comparison.
How does Caralogy calculate its figures?
Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
