Audi has announced the pricing and range details of its new RS6 Avant and RS7 Sportback for the UK market, just in time for the holiday season.
Out of the two, the RS6 Avant is the cheaper one, starting from £92,700 in its base version; Audi is offering three more trim levels to choose from for your new super-fast wagon: RS6 Carbon Black, RS6 Vorsprung and RS6 Launch Edition. Audi UK is also offering the new RS7 Sportback in the same trim levels, starting from £97,050.

“Whether they prefer the unadulterated brawn of the RS6 or the more elegantly framed extremity of the RS7, our customers can choose from four carefully considered UK specification options that show each model in its very best light,” said Audi UK Director Andrew Doyle.
Both models are powered by a mild-hybrid twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 TFSI engine with 592 HP (600 PS) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque, paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The beefed up Quattro all-wheel drive system now features torque vectoring and a Torsen differential.
Other tricks to make the dynamic Audi duo corner faster than ever include an all-wheel steering system, an optional RS sport suspension with diagonally-linked adaptive dampers in addition to the standard RS-specific air suspension.
Base models come with 21-inch alloy wheels, MatriX LED headlights, privacy glass, heated and ventilated RS sport seats dressed in Valcona leather, model-specific displays for the instrument cluster and infotainment system and more.
Opt for the Carbon Black models and you’ll get 22-inch black alloys, a carbon styling package inside and outside, along with the RS design package that adds grey Fine Nappa leather or grey Alcantara in areas such as the center console and door armrests.
Top-of-the-line Vorsprung models come with a panoramic glass sunroof, power door closure, Bang & Olufsen 3D audio and front and rear seat heating. Their specification also includes an adaptable head-up display and virtually every driver assistance system Audi has to offer via the Tour and City Assist packs.
The special Launch Edition models of the new RS6 Avant and RS7 Sportback will be offered for a limited period of time that combines specific features from across the range. These include red brake calipers, a set of 22-inch gloss black alloy wheels, the sunroof, the Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system, sport exhaust and a de-restrictred top speed of 174 mph (280 km/h).
Prospective customers of the new 2020 Audi RS6 Avant and RS7 Sportback in the UK are also offered the choice between five matt-effect paint options, ceramic brakes and more.
