2022 Audi RS6 Avant
Starting at $117.595

Highs A muscular-looking station wagon, the twin-turbo V-8's thrilling soundtrack, its driver engagement exceeds its performance stats.
Lows Pricey, fuel economy is an afterthought, 190-mph top speed requires expensive carbon-ceramic brakes.
Verdict The RS6 Avant impresses with a brawny body and outsize performance.

Overview
With an intimidating appearance and a raucous 591-hp engine, the 2022 Audi RS6 Avant is one wicked station wagon. Not only can it launch to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds and reach speeds up to 190 mph, but it'll carry a quartet of passengers in complete comfort along with all their gear. Audi justifies the car's six-figure price with a lavish interior and plenty of high-tech features. We even named it to our 2022 Editor's Choice list. Similar to other expensive and powerful station wagons such as the Mercedes-AMG E63 S and Porsche Panamera Turbo S Sport Turismo, the 2022 RS6 Avant is ridiculously quick and rewarding to drive. Those who don't subscribe to the longroof lifestyle but lust for everything else the RS6 has to offer should check out the mechanically identical Audi RS7 hatchback.

What's New for 2022?
Audi made only minor changes to the RS6 Avant for 2022. The interior has a new standard trim called Carbon Twill. An RS-design package brings unique floor mats, black seatbelts with colored borders, and more surfaces covered in racy microsuede. The Carbon and Black Optic packages gain a set of black 22-inch wheels. Titanium wheels are also available. And buyers can enhance the RS6 Avant's suspension with Dynamic Ride Control, which should reduce body roll and improve handling.
