Overview
If you want a four-door that can run errands on electricity and still has serious go when you need it, the 2026 Audi RS5 RS 5 Sedan is aimed squarely at you. It's a plug-in hybrid sedan with all-wheel drive and an 8-speed tiptronic, and it's priced at $179,900 RRP, which is the recommended retail price, before on-road costs. It carries a 25.9kWh battery with a claimed electric-only range of 78km, and it uses 4.2L/100km on the combined cycle in the official test, which starts with a charged battery. Its output is 470kW combined, with a claimed 0-100km/h in 3.6 seconds. We don't have a boot space figure or a fuel figure for running on a flat battery yet.

Battery and Charging
AC is home or destination charging. DC is public fast charging. Typical 10 to 80% is the useful fast-charge window. Battery preheating and a heat pump both protect fast-charging speed and range in the cold. 🏆 marks the strongest car per row.
How long to charge
22kWh usableEstimates from usable battery size. No onboard charger figure is held for this car, so the AC times assume 7.4kW: an illustration, not this car's rated figure. Real times vary with temperature, starting charge, charger output and the charging curve.
Home charging cost

Energy cost only, on indicative home tariffs (peak 38¢, off-peak 19¢, solar 6¢ per kWh). Your plan and public charging will differ. How we calculate.

Audi RS5: price, running costs, warranty, safety and size by grade

No grade on this page holds an official combined consumption figure, so there is no estimate to make. We do not substitute a class average.

ANCAP, by exact grade
- ANCAP hasn't rated this model
A rating belongs to the exact variant ANCAP tested and is never carried across to a grade or a build year it does not cover. A rating older than six years is marked expired because ANCAP’s own test has moved on.
Safety recalls on the Audi RS5
None of the recall notices we have verified is matched to the grades listed here. That is a statement about our register, not a clearance: check a specific car by VIN on the government’s Product Safety Australia recalls register before you buy.

At $182,900 RRP, which is the recommended retail price before on-road costs, the 2026 Audi RS5 RS 5 Avant is a plug-in hybrid wagon with all-wheel drive and an 8-speed tiptronic. It claims 76km of electric-only driving from a 25.9kWh battery, and it uses 4.4L/100km on the combined cycle in the official test, which starts with a charged battery. Boot space is 361 litres with the seats up. We don't have a fuel figure for when the battery is flat yet, and we don't have a braked towing capacity either. It suits someone after a quick wagon who can plug in at home and do plenty of short trips on electricity.
