Caralogy Analysis

Tailored to this vehicle?

Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Demanding drivers: 1st of 6 in Top speed (305 km/h). 1st of 6 in Top speed (305 km/h).

Less suitable for

Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 12,0 L/100 km on the combined cycle, consumption rises in the city without electric assistance. An HEV or PHEV would be more economical for this use profile.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the Bmw M5 CS (1st with 3.0 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Power-to-weight, the Bmw M5 CS (1st with 348 hp/t) takes the lead.

Acceleration: 3.4 s 0-100 (4th of 6 in 0–100 km/h)

In pure acceleration, the RS6 Performance Avant ranks 4th of 6 in 0–100 km/h, 0.4 s off the reference Bmw M5 CS (3.0 s).

Top speed: 305 km/h (1st of 6 in Top speed)

Top speed of 305 km/h. The segment reference reaches 305 km/h.

Audi RS6 Performance Avant: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Among the 6 grand tourers 2021–2025, the RS6 Performance Avant ranks 4th of 6 in 0–100 km/h (3.4 s, behind the Bmw M5 CS), 1st of 6 in Top speed (305 km/h, behind the Audi RS6 Performance Avant), 4th of 6 in Power-to-weight (290 hp/t, behind the Bmw M5 CS).

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

The Bmw M5 CS leads in 0–100 km/h (3.0 s vs 3.4 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the RS6 Performance Avant vs Bmw M5 CS duel for a detailed comparison.

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.
