To keep things simple, think of the new Audi RS5 as a bridge between the old-school muscle of the BMW and the high-tech (but controversial) approach of the Mercedes.
The 2026 Audi RS5: The "Simple" Breakdown
• The Big Change: It is now a Plug-in Hybrid. It has a battery and a motor, meaning you can drive to work on electricity alone (about 50 miles) and then use the gas engine for weekend fun.
• The Engine: Unlike Mercedes, Audi kept the V6. This means it still sounds like a performance car.
• The "Magic" Diff: It has a new computer-controlled rear end that pushes the car into corners, making this heavy beast feel much more agile than it should.
• The Catch: It is heavy. At roughly 5,200 lbs (2,355 kg), it weighs about as much as a large SUV.
