The all-new high-performance version of the Audi A4 or RS5 Avant
Mar 27, 2024In recent years, there has been a heated debate online about whether Audi is a luxury brand. However, regardless of whether Audi has rear-wheel drive or how well it performs on the racetrack, it does not affect its image among performance car enthusiasts.
After all, Audi has a range of relatively affordable all-wheel-drive six-cylinder performance models, which are not only reasonably priced, but also have a more manageable all-wheel-drive system compared to rear-wheel drive. And recently, a set of spy photos of the new performance model from Audi on the internet has attracted a lot of attention from Audi fans.
RS 4 continues the pot-shaped design, and the new car lights are sharper.
The Audi S4 has always been known as the "best performance car with the highest cost-effectiveness". Above it, Audi has an even more sporty performance car, the RS4 Avant, which features a more aggressive design. Recently, leaked photos of this performance car's latest road test have appeared on foreign websites.
From the spy photos, it can be seen that the new RS4's headlights differ from the current model's square shape, with a more slender and sporty appearance. The taillights at the rear of the car have a similar design to the front headlights, creating a cohesive and coordinated overall aesthetic.
In terms of other aspects of the design, this car continues to use the unique polygonal smoked black RS series grille, highlighting the hardcore temperament of the performance car. It is expected that this powerful performance car will continue to be equipped with a 2.9T turbocharged engine, and there are reports that Audi will also launch a plug-in hybrid RS series model.
However, the name may be different from the previous RS4, this performance version of the A4 will be named RS5 Avant. Why is this?
Reluctant to give up the gasoline performance car market, Audi finds it difficult to fully electrify.
The product line of Audi is very similar to that of Mercedes Benz and BMW. Its performance cars are all designed and modified based on popular models. For example, the RS7 is designed based on the A7, the RS3 is a modified version of the A3, and the S4 and RS4 are built on the A4 platform.
In recent years, Audi's most important plan has been the comprehensive electrification process. In fact, in order to implement this strategy, the CEO, Markus Duesmann, who was not favorable for the business, was dismissed. It is expected that the next generation A4 may become a fully electric car.
But overall, Audi's electrification process is not going very smoothly. The sales of both mid-range and high-end models in China are not very favorable. The sales of Audi electric cars in Europe and the United States are still good, but recently, with the shift in the development of electric cars in Europe and the United States, Audi will inevitably have difficulties in promoting pure electrification.
The lowest starting price of the Audi Q4 e-tron: $31K, with a maximum discount of $11.5K. For pictures, parameter configurations, price inquiries, and understanding of cars, the discussion in the car community, 25,000 car enthusiasts are discussing it. The starting price of the used car is $23K, with 141 cars available.
Therefore, Audi is still unable to cut some of its fuel performance cars, among which the S4 and RS4, which are touted as the "highest cost-effective performance cars", are a gold-lettered signboard. However, if the A4 is electrified, the existence of the S4 and RS4 will be somewhat strange. At that time, if the electric vehicle platform's A4 were to forcibly "electrify" the RS4, various problems would obviously arise.
This could also be why Audi may rename the new generation of the jar version RS4 as RS5 Avant.

The word "wagon" originally meant a freight carriage. Therefore, this type of travel vehicle was originally used for carrying goods, but with the development of the European economy, as people's lives improved, they found it very comfortable to use this type of vehicle for self-driving travel. The larger trunk can be used to store luggage, tents, camping equipment, and other gear. Therefore, the wagon car is very popular in Europe.
Germany is the headquarters of camper vans, having sold 100,000 units in the first three months of 2023, with a market share of twice that of other European countries. It consistently maintains a 15% share of the automotive market. Therefore, as a German brand, Audi will naturally continue to launch camper van products.
