Pros & Cons
What we love
✓Audi Sport's first-ever plug-in hybrid RS model — a 2.9L twin-turbo V6 paired with a 130kW electric motor for a combined 630hp/608 lb-ft, plus a world-first electromechanical rear-axle torque-vectoring system
✓3.6s 0-62mph and a 155mph standard top speed, raised to roughly 174-177mph with the optional Audi Sport Package (which also adds RS sport exhaust and 21" two-tone wheels)
✓Up to 54 miles of EV-only range from a 25.9kWh battery, with an "EV mode" that shuts off the V6 entirely and a steering-wheel "Boost" button for 10 seconds of full system output
✓Sold in the US as a single, fully-loaded grade with option packages — no Premium/Premium Plus/Prestige ladder, matching how PerfectCars already lists this model
Considerations
✕US pricing, EPA MPGe/range rating, fuel-tank capacity, and the final US model-year designation (2026 vs. a possible 2027 badge) were all unconfirmed by Audi as of this reveal — confirm all of these before quoting to a customer
✕Whether the Avant wagon body will be sold in the US remained undecided as of the reveal; only the sedan/liftback body is confirmed for US sale
✕Curb weight, wheelbase, exact tyre sizing, and which ADAS/comfort features are standard vs. optional in US-spec trim are carried over from the European/global reveal and may change once Audi USA publishes final specs
✕DC fast charging is not offered — AC-only PHEV charging (11kW onboard, ~2.5 hours for a full charge), slower to recharge than a comparable BEV
