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.
Caralogy Analysis · tailored to this vehicle
Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for
Home-to-office commute up to 60 km in pure electric. Overnight charging is sufficient.
Less suitable for
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 ~964 km without intermediate charging, an equivalent segment HEV becomes more cost-efficient.
Alternatives to consider
If the priority is Electric WLTP range, the Audi A5 Sedan e-hybrid quattro 270 kW (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 Audi A5 Sedan e-hybrid quattro 270 kW (96 km). In urban and peri-urban use, the RS 5 Sedan behaves like a pure electric sedan in its segment.
