2026 Audi RS5 Avant Review: The 600HP Hybrid Wagon That Outsmarts Physics

Описание: Is the 2026 Audi RS5 Avant still a true RS car, or has the new Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) system killed its soul? In this review from Prime Drive Studios, we’re looking past the 600-horsepower headlines to see if the first-ever electrified Audi wagon can actually live up to the legacy of the RS4.

The B10 generation is a massive shift. We break down the 2.9L Twin-Turbo V6 Hybrid, the wider RS bodywork, and that stealthy 40-mile electric range. But there's a catch—the weight. We discuss how the extra hybrid mass affects the handling, and why Audi chose "logic and precision" over the raw aggression of the BMW M3 Touring.
