Is the RS4 worth it?
Verdict: audi rs4 avant as a max-performance, minimum-fuss estate car it fulfils its brief perfectly. It’s as much fun to drive as the rs5 (in fact, it actually feels better balanced), while enjoying a more unassuming image. It’s not a car that’ll give you goosebumps, but for many buyers it’ll make them very satisfied. The rs4 might have met its end, but now audi has launched its replacement with the all-new v6-powered rs5.
Is RS4 discontinued?
With that in mind, Audi’s just taken the wraps off its new RS5, now the direct successor to the RS4. That may be clear as mud, but the end result is something we’re all very familiar with. Wide arches, oval exhausts and your choice of saloon or Avant body styles. Environmentalists will run a mile when you tell them that the RS4 Avant spits out 249g/km of CO2. The Audi RS4 Avant emissions are high but a Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG with an auto gearbox has a higher CO2 output at 285g/km. Audi RS4 Avant reliability will be very good.
