Audi has confirmed that the next-gen RS6 Avant will make its way to the United States.
Senior Vice President of Product Management Filip Brabec said the US launch depends on the model being part of Audi’s global production plans. “If there is globally an RS6 Avant, then it will come to America.” The RS5 Avant, however, remains under consideration.
The outgoing RS6 Avant recently ended production after exceeding Audi’s sales expectations, making its replacement an important model for the brand.
The new RS6 is expected to take a significant step towards electrification, combining a V8 engine with a plug-in hybrid system. Audi has yet to reveal its final power figures.
It is also expected to borrow its all-wheel-drive hardware from the 2027 RS5. That model pairs a twin-turbo V6 with an electric motor, producing 630 hp and 609 lb-ft of torque. It can sprint from 0-62 mph in 3.6 seconds.
