Review: 2023 Audi RS6 Avant - What Can't It Do?

[@VWGTI123]

wagons are so much better than suv's shame on the general public for not buying them :(

[@im_an_alvani]

What an absolute stunner. Wagons really can do it all. Wish the adoption rate was higher so that manufacturers would keep them coming. Great review!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Me too! Thanks!

[@jeffs6090]

Agreed! Super happy that we get this here! It was originally only going to be a one year limited release for the US with only 2 being allotted for each dealership. I do wish Audi gave us more, like the RSQ3 Sportback, RS4 Avant, etc.

[@Tanner_Teves]

Man that thing looks killer!

[@stever41g]

Was really looking forward to this review. Fantastic car, just so damn expensive. Super review Matt, thanks.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks Steve!

[@hockeymann88]

Still looks fantastic and special. The design has stood the test of time.

[@tedadamgreen]

Great review and LOVE THIS CAR!! Thanks for found this review Matt :)

[@falxonPSN]

This car truly is beast mode at pretty much everything. I would absolutely love to own one of these, but they're just so damn expensive... I was trying to talk my wife into getting this instead of her e-tron SUV, but clearly that never happened. 😢 It looks less stealthy, but when you put these things in red, they are drop dead gorgeous.

[@PeterHolmgren]

Great review!

[@raist315]

We're agreed on favorite cars. I love this thing. I would definitely have it in my garage if I could.

[@MrVuTran]

I just got mine a few days ago and am loving it.

[@ryanb8736]

This is the unicorn. This is the car we were not supposed to get. Everyone wanted this to come over for many years. Problem is the price was higher than people thought it was gonna be. Amazing cars though. Like you said, it’s awesome at any price. Nothing like it.

[@JodysCorner]

That delay when you smashed the gas was hard to see. Hate the turbo delay

[@yadvindergakhal4294]

Awesome review, Matt! The RS6 Avant is an amazing wagon that I wish I can have one day

[@gregkramer5588]

Thanks Matt, great review!

[@Zimo0o]

I love this car so much, it literally does it all w 600hp under the hood so gorgeous

[@harisqureshi7469]

Launch control was sick! Great video Matt!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks Haris!

[@SonOfTamriel]

One of my dream cars

[@StreetDrivenDaily]

winter tires mounted? I want one, I wanna wait until they drop below 100k , in 2 years ? with 20k miles.... ? why? 2 kids, 2 dogs, = fieldtrip, power when you need it, launch control is crazy :) very practical, cargo space for all the goodies to pack

[@jugobosanac3210]

Future classic love Audi RS models

[@doriangray2347]

This is beautiful combination of retro 80’s wagons I remembered like the volvos mixed with ultra modern RS audi. Children and passengers in general would enjoy this more than an SuV. Also, you wont roll over and kill them like in an suv, so that’s nice

[@1992calebw]

This is my ultimate family dream car.

[@franzvanjulio5523]

Gorgeous! Thanks, Matt for another fun review.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks for watching Franz!

[@corysekine-pettite1783]

Way too expensive for me, but the A4 Allroad will be on the next shopping list.

[@CarsTechWood]

I would love a wagon!

[@hellokyle_]

I love those rims.

[@bigpoppa1992]

My dream daily driver. 😍🖤

[@twotrackjack2260]

Great review on a super cool car! Love me some wagon action, even if it's WAYY outa my price range lol

[@regalgs51]

What music platform did you use when listening to the stereo? FM radio, Sirius, your phone (e.g. Spotify), something else?

[@Vayetsii]

Dream car🔥

[@bigjay1970]

Man o man what a car! Unfortunately these days cars are getting wayyy too complex for the techs to even understand how to fix these when they break. And yes these tech laden cars break earlier than later and will cost THOUSANDS of dollars to fix. Electronics are great until they're not!🤔🤫 Go watch a used car channel regarding Audi's. Lease is the way to go but you will still will be driving a loaner 10% of the time.🤪

[@AntLive29]

That car is BUSSIN!

[@gene978]

When did $150K become normal money to buy so many vehicles? I realize this is very special but even at $100K I would have reservations. Not like it will last a lifetime like a home would

[@razorraysolarsavings70]

You need to be able to buy this car at least four times on paper in order to justify buying one. In other words you need lots of disposable income, this thing is a want not a need.

[@justatemp2000]

Sadly, this is the cost to get 600hp in an import these days. Only domestics offer that level of hp for less than $100k. But to be fair, the car in this video has every possible option ticked. You can save $20k just by not getting carbon brakes, carbon fiber accents and upgraded stereo.

[@CaptainCJ97]

Shocked this is even in the states with the whole ev craze. I wasn't expecting the inside to have a brownnlook was expecting a light grey or black

[@SL0Z07]

Can’t wait for the 2024 model with more power and better looking wheels! Maybe one day

[@stevensanchez330]

Wow what a gem 💎

[@batgele2796]

ageless design. my all time favorite wagon. stunning vehicle, i wish it had physical buttons to avoid the fingerprint covered infotainment.

[@ryanb8736]

I can see Matt getting one of these.

[@TheJason989]

My one of my Dream car

[@markramsay6399]

Nice review. I have this car in black - recently gone to Litchfield in the UK for some performance tweaks. Overall I love the car! But somethings still do my head in - like the piano black mid section around the auto selector and cup holder etc. It just says "scratch me" and it is so easy to do, and when you do it you will be annoyed and disappointed you cannot polish it out ! / As for the B&O system - I do not think it is as good as the C7 RS6 (which I also had) - also I do not have the moving tweeters in my car so I am wondering if there is a B&O "light" and "full" B&O fitted to certain cars in certain regions? / Carbon ceramics may be cool (they are!). But as I keep my cars long term ( I did over 100,000 miles in my C7 RS6), I did not specify them as an option on my C8 (since discs and pads all around are about the price of a small family car in the UK !!).

[@MattMaranMotoring]

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing your ownership thoughts and kudos to you for driving the previous one so much! I hope the new one treats you well for a long time to!

[@TheCity404]

Perfect car.

[@vicgill1980]

This or a down payment on a house… always such a tough choice

[@nberkel]

Not a fan of how wagons look at all but man does this thing somehow win me over!

[@gene978]

Hybridization to add MORE Power and better MPG.

[@qdood]

Thanks matt

[@unbiasedcritique4429]

Oh my so stunning

[@user-to3xq2to8n]

What can't it do...60 miles to the gallon 🤣😎

[@05Forenza]

I used to have a 2021 V60 Polestar Engineered. Not quite the same caliber or power as the RS6 Avant, but sitting in them back to back (I did not drive the RS6), I preferred the Volvo. Still with it being 4.7s to 60, thats plenty quick and I've seen far fewer V60's than RS6's.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Nice! I really liked the V60 Polestar I had for a week too!

[@bejbogdan750]

On the climate control display, click on the seat to get the full setup of the seat :) You need to do a bit more clicking in these touch-screen vehicles because not everything is controlled by buttons anymore...sadly

[@tpolerex7282]

This and the Mercedes AMG E 63s Estate are the best cars in the world.

[@irishuwould5185]

How much like 500 million?

[@jamellabruna6092]

You gotto have it re-map and it will take away the delay between gear changing. It’s a safety mechanism so old lady don’t drive through walls

[@Bigwilliestyle322]

Matt, RS6 Avant vs Durango Hellcat?!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

RS6 Avant handles way better so if someone has the extra cash for the RS6, that's what I'd go with.

[@kleinbottled79]

General tip for the comment section: Don't say 'whenever' in cases where 'when' would suffice. It's dumb.

[@sweetgregt]

Wish I could afford it

[@whiteandnerdytuba]

Easily my favorite mid size but for the s class price I'd rather have an s class

[@CarsOverPeople]

Can’t drift cuz awd… can it?

[@johnshukeireh5804]

Who cares? This isn’t a hooligan car you take drifting

[@mecin1430]

Bro what?? If you want drift car better get s chassis car and rwd. This is not hoonigan This is different type car A wagon It can bring more people with faster and better engine

[@CarsOverPeople]

And here come all the awd fangirls 😅. AWD = All Women Drive 🤷‍♂️

[@justatemp2000]

In Matt Watson's RS6 review, he drifts it. It's possible with the sport differential which can send most of the power to the rear wheels.

[@JamesM-hb2cj]

Great review! Can you please review Jaguar I-PACE? Considering buying one, it’s the forgotten EV but seems surprisingly good!

[@TwelveDiamond64]

I've never wanted an Audi.... Why would you do this to me.... I can never afford this 😭😭😭

[@brandonhodnett5420]

A burnout 😂

[@tvtechwonv27]

I feel massive under steer through the video 😂😂

[@snowman2834]

It's a lot. It's cool but expensive. I'd rather have an M5 for 50k less.

[@chrisl6989]

Yo

[@Armen567]

So you liked it or no? The conclusions weren’t clear 😅

[@pharmztko]

$158k 😂😂😂😂

[@razorraysolarsavings70]

Yeah man that’s way too much money.

[@grisa12345]

People buy it because it’s expensive and no one else has it.

[@BertShackleford]

Does this truly look and feel like a wagon Matt? Or is it merely a lowered crossover from across the pond? Seems rather large and bulbous for a wagon. Maybe even too tall but that could just be the camera angles. Almost makes this RS6 Avant look like the height of the old A6 Allroad (both interior and exterior). I think Audi could cut down the headroom for a more chopped-top, streamline looking wagon. Then again, everything seems to be oversized these days. Not to mention, we don't get very many wagons here in the US. So we don't really have the greatest scale of measurement. At least we are past the Griswold era of family station wagons. If you know - you know... Audi seems to walk a fine line between wagon, sportback, hatchback, coupe and lowered crossovers. That line has become rather blurred at this point. I just wish Audi would veer away from all the gloss piano black across their entire lineup. Looks great in theory but poor in application. Also not a fan of this new gauge cluster to a lesser extent. The dual staging tree affect that animates in the _opposite_ direction is off-putting. Plus that division symbol for the tach is awkward to say the least. Otherwise, this is yet another top notch offering from the Audi RS model line. Stay classy my friend.

[@SlipAngleG70]

Amazing car, not worth the price

[@MKu64]

Be a manual? 😂

[@razorraysolarsavings72]

Too expensive!

[@twisterwiper]

Not really. It’s a supercar.

[@justatemp2000]

Sadly, that's the cost of 600hp in pretty much any import these days. Also the car in this review has every possible option ticked. You can save $20k just by not getting carbon brakes, carbon fiber accents or upgraded stereo.

[@ascendantrobin3230]

body kit looks like something disgusting from NFS Underground- otherwise, awesome performance
