It's not cheap, but the 2022 RS 6 feels like two cars for the money. Around town, it's an extremely comfortable, quiet and spacious wagon that's fitted with a handsome, well-crafted interior and all the latest tech and driver aids Audi has to offer. But push the RS button on the steering wheel and the RS 6 becomes a rewarding and comically quick performance car. In our testing, the RS 6 performed as well as some sports cars, and it does it with more cargo space than some SUVs.
