Is the 2022 Audi RS6 Avant a BETTER performance car than a BMW M5?

The RS6 Avant is a wagon on steroids from Audi. On the outside you will find flared fenders, 22in wheels, massive brake rotors and 8-piston calipers. On the inside you will be greeted by a full leather interior, digital gauge cluster and plenty of cargo room. Under the hood is a 4.0L V8 that pumps out 591HP & is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2022 Audi RS6 Avant a BETTER performance car than a BMW M5?

The RS6 Avant is what’s gotten me really into wagons. Used to think they were big and lazy looking, but man they look nice!

2013 CTSV Wagon

[@RaitisRides]

I know how you feel!

[@usercs_2682]

I think C5, C6 and C7 design were more towards as a sleeper, while C8 they transform it to an aggressive and sporty feeling wagon. Same RS6 is the car that made me love wagons

[@humgoes6106]

bro same

[@jimf7654]

I can tell how special a vehicle is by the intensity on Joe’s face when he’s carving those turns…:) I recently had the pleasure of seeing an RS6 Avant in a local dealership, and the red color is even more spectacular in person....kind of a cherry red. Thanks for an awesome video and those fun “On throttles”!

[@markolar3161]

$119k sounds like a bargain! Was seriously considering the Nissan Versa, but this definitely changes my plans 😂

[@winstonwinston3487]

Well I’d spend this amount (if I scored big on crypto) over some of the overpriced trucks that are out there (ford 150 ltd , Dodge Ram TRX )

[@alengreen589]

[@LS1007]

What an awesome wagon! I wish there were more performance wagons instead of so many SUV’s. The lower center of gravity makes handling better and no worry of rollovers. Thanks for sharing it Joe. Nice job you and Lori as usual! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

[@RaitisRides]

You are so very right about that Larry! Thanks for letting m,e share this beast with you!

[@Another_User_Name_]

I agree with you. Nobody's making sedans or wagons anymore, it's all suv's and electric. Nice to see Audi's looking out for guys like us that are still out there. Unfortunately, this car is a bit out of my league.

[@23Piccolina]

You are correct about lower center of gravity, but most drivers are ignorant, know very little about driving dynamics and are also too fat to fit into sporty wagons, such as this. The price of these Euro wagons don't help them to sell either. Way over $100k? That's in Ferrari territory!

[@Thethyck4445]

I agree with you I think they need a push for wagons. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@snipez5555]

Here in Europe wagons are really popular, especially performance ones😜 What i wish we would have, are more of your amazing muscle cars, full size suv's and pickup trucks. On the other hand, they would not fit on our narrow streets😂 Sorry if i misspell. I'm Belgian, English is not my native language😅

[@c.braxton1710]

This is my favorite Audi!! I love the fact that it's a wagon which, in my opinion, makes that much more unique. I will have this beast in my garage one day. As always, you and Lori keep bringing us great content!!! I'm really glad you did a review on my favorite car 😁.

[@ledgic1317]

I was anxious to see one here in my country Puerto Rico, we have pretty good cars here but never seen a RS Avant and like couple months ago saw the first one here passing by after I let my boy at school and saw the wide body wagon coming on the other side of the road looks so menacing color was like dark grey with tinted windows to had black badge Audi!! I almost passed out when saw it passing by my side Holy Jesus Christ!!!. This wagon is stunning!! Good work Man Raiti's deserves the 1M subscribers.

[@newcenturygoldllc9253]

I think it's your best review ever my man. I actually test drove this beast of a vehicle yesterday and "it is on another level".

[@mfratino1567]

At one time, BMW and Audi made incredible wagons (in manual transmission btw), and now they’re convinced that the majority of us in the USA want only SUVs. Simply not true. You can still find them in Europe, Canada and Mexico but you cannot import them here. Bummer. This RS6 Avant is incredible but for most of us, it’s cost prohibitive! Great job on the video, love your work!

[@RaitisRides]

Awesome review and even better car! I could probably afford to buy only half of this car and because it's so good looking from all angles, I don't know which half I'd want more.

[@luisfabriciogarbato9656]

Joe, awesome work sir!!! Well, as an Owner of a 2021 rs6, I would NEVER trade my RS6 and get a M5, I'm not saying that the M5 is a bad car, no, it is awesome. The RS6 is a legend, it basically led the performance wagon category to what it is Today.

[@clothestravel]

As a wagon owner and enthusiast, I’m drooling, as this is my dream car. I’d take this any day over a boring G-wagon.

[@mattmekhaeil]

The g wagon is a suv though not a wagon and that's a off road beast the rs6 isnt its just a fast wagon

[@clothestravel]

@@mattmekhaeil every Tom Dick and Harry drives a G-wagen; it’s the default choice for any pretentious rich person. And how many of these G-wagens do you think are actually used for off roading? The Audi is a sleek, sexy, fast car that’s much better looking and far less common than the G-wagen.
