A5/S5/RS5 [Renders] Audi A5 (B10)

That side intake bulge will probably cover for one of those fold down charging ports.

By the time this thing gets released G20 will be on its 5th LCI.

The M3 CS Touring will also be here.

Totally agree. I used to like Audi but their line-up of ICE cars almost dates back to the Middle Ages. It’s like an 80 year old doing a striptease..

Come on A5 coupe was much more better. Back side looks like BMW 4. Front bumper design really bad. I hope they will change mind.

2026 Audi RS5 Avant PHEV Sticks It To The AMG C63 By Sticking With V6 Power | Carscoops

Like Its AMG C63 rival, next RS5 is going the PHEV route, but thankfully won’t downsize to four-cylinder power

www.carscoops.com

Audi learned the hard way after the dismal b8 & b9 sales figures. Those cars were snooze fests

 

[Centurion]

Brilliant news. I wonder whether this was the original plan or whether Audi course-corrected when it become evident that Euro 7 regulations would not make big displacement engines unviable.

 

[Gor134]

96% of the camo stripped. Few camo on the window trim, taillights, and rear/front still on.

But we have a good view of the body line and pumped rear fender.

 

[Centurion]

I hate that style of door handles. Awkward to pull open. when wet your hand slip a bit.

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

Looks very attractive, but not entirely Audi DNA. I do see hints of BMW and Mercedes in the detailing and contouring. Looks like Audi has finally taken a page out of Sensual Purity and gotten rid of a lot of unnecessary 'styling.'

Wide-Arch Audi RS5 Avant Calls Out The Skinny BMW M3 And Mercedes C63 AMG

Latest spy shots reveal the true width of the hot hybrid wagon’s swollen fenders

Audi’s RS sedans and wagons aren’t always the most exciting or flamboyant cars to drive, even if they’re not short of performance. But when the covers finally come off this RS5 either later this year or early in 2025, we have a serious hunch it’s going to easily beat its BMW M3 Touring and Mercedes C63 wagon in a visual pose down.

Just look at the width of the thing. It’s absolutely enormous, an almost grotesque parody of the sensible new A5 Avant that’s spent three hours every night for the last year working delts in the gym. And we wouldn’t have it any other way. The front fenders are so wide that Audi’s been able to make space for an air vent just behind the front wheel, and though the rear arches look like placeholder extensions rather than the finished complete rear quarter panels, the wheels are pushed so far out that the real fenders are guaranteed to be equally wide.

We’ve seen the RS5 testing before, but the prototype in these latest shots has lost the camo wrap on its grille mesh revealing a double diamond pattern. Also visible are a new set of triple-five-spoke forged alloy wheels and Audi’s latest matrix LED headlights whose LED segments can shine individually to provide different patterns and messages.

If you’re wondering why we’re calling this an RS5 rather than an RS4 it’s because Audi is moving its ICE cars into odd-numbered badged and reserving even numbers for EVs. So while there almost certainly will be an RS4 along eventually, it’ll be battery-powered, while the combustion wagon gets an RS5 badge, something previously used by the top-performing versions of the old A5 two-door coupe and A5 Sportback four-door coupe lines.

That’s not all that’s new for the RS5. It’s going hybrid, though that doesn’t mean it’s downsizing to a four-cylinder powertrain like its Mercedes-AMG C63 rival has done. No, the RS5 is reportedly sticking with 2.9-liter V6 power but will add hybrid assistance to improve both power over today’s 444 hp (450 PS), and improved efficiency with it.

It’ll be interesting to see if Audi Sport configures its PHEV system to deliver power at the expense of range (the AMG can only do 8 miles / 13 km on a charge of its tiny 6.1 kWh battery), but we won’t know that until nearer the launch. One thing we do know is that the RS5 is going to need a huge horsepower injection to keep up with the AMG, which cranks out a massive 671 hp (680 PS).

Very few changes compared to the old one, for that render to be accurate

 

[Gor134]

Got a better look at the body line and surfacing changes around the fender with the lighting.
