2025 Audi RS 6 Wagon Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Audi RS 6 Avant is a five-passenger high-performance wagon. It packs a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine (621 horsepower, 627 lb-ft of torque) backed by an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. As it is the flagship model of the A6 family, the RS 6's single Performance trim level is generously equipped, but Audi offers numerous options and packages to make it your own.

Audi is also offering a very limited run (just 85 units) of the RS 6 Avant GT. A tribute to the dominant Audi 90 Quattro race car the brand campaigned in the 1989 IMSA GTO series, the GT wears a unique red, black, and gray livery over white paint. An adjustable coilover suspension and a re-tuned rear differential help it mimic the handling of its ferocious inspiration.

Which RS 6 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The RS 6 only comes in one trim level, Performance, so that part is easy. We recommend the RS sport exhaust option for its more stirring vocals and the Driver Assistance package for its additional driver assist tech. You'll also thank yourself on every long drive for the Individual Contour Front Seat pack, which adds a massage function.
