Prior to their July 24 showroom debut, the redesigned 2021 Audi RS4 Avant and 2021 Audi RS5 twins have now received Australian pricing.
Along with fresh style and new technologies, both lines gain from the same pencil-sharpening price reductions that have been implemented across other Audi RS vehicles in recent months.
The RS4 Avant wagon’s starting price for the 2021 model year is $147,900 before on-road expenses, which is a reduction from the hot wagon’s initial starting price of $152,900 in early 2018.
The starting prices for the RS5 Coup and RS5 Sportback are both $150,900 before on-road expenses, which is a significant reduction from the $157,700 starting price revealed in late 2018.
According to claims, the RS5 twins and RS4 Avant can reach 100 km/h in 3.9 and 4.1 seconds, respectively.
The RS4 and RS5s have WLTP (‘real world’) test cycle fuel economy ratings of 9.5 and 9.4 liters per 100 kilometers, respectively. The respective carbon emissions are 215g/km and 214g/km.
The RS4 and RS5 models have new ‘RS1’ and ‘RS2’ driving modes that can be swiftly customized “for specialized high-performance settings,” just like the RS6 Avant and RS7 Sportback unveiled in early June.
For the 2019 model year, all lines receive a stylistic update, more significant for the RS4 Avant but no less noticeable for the dual RS5 coupe and liftback sedans.
The RS4 does away with the hooked headlamp design that previously dominated the brand’s appearance in addition to having new bumpers on both ends and revised LED trademark lighting in both situations.
A head-up display, 360-degree cameras, adaptive cruise control with Stop&Go and traffic jam help, park assist, Audi pre-sense front and rear, active lane assist, alarm, and external mirrors with auto-dimming features are just a few of the standout features for these three heroes.

Describe a B5 S4.
The B5 S4’s third-generation 2.7-liter twin-turbo (‘biturbo’) V6 engine is featured in the powertrain details[5] (parts code prefix: 078, identification codes: AGB, AZB, APB). The engine has a cast iron cylinder block and two lightweight aluminum alloy cylinder heads, among other details. The valvetrain consists of twin hybrid-driven (timing belt and roller chain) double overhead camshafts with 30 valves (five valves per cylinder),[10][11] variable valve timing for the inlet valves, and 30 valves (five valves per cylinder). Two parallel water-cooled BorgWarner K03-series turbochargers pressurize the intake air; the charged air is cooled by two side-mounted air-to-air intercoolers (SMICs). It has a displacement of 2,671 cubic centimeters (163.0 cu in) and is capable of producing 400 Nm (295 lbft) of torque at 1,850 rpm and 195 kW (265 PS; 261 bhp) of mechanical power at 5,800 rpm. A BoschMotronic ME 7.1 (7.0 in North America) electronic engine control unit (ECU) was used for engine control, which enabled it to comply with the EU-3D emissions standard. For all vehicles sold in the US, the engine’s output was decreased to 184 kW (250 PS; 247 hp) and 350 Nm (258 lbft) in order to comply with US emissions rules (identification code: APB).
The Torsen T-2 quattro permanent all-wheel drive system and a six-speed C90 manual transmission were standard features, same like in the preceding S4 (parts code prefix: 01E, identification code: DSY, gear ratios: first: 3.500, second: 1.889, third: 1.231, fourth: 0.967, fifth: 0.806, sixth: 0.684). Final drive ratio is 4.111 (parts code prefix: 01H, identification code: DQA). For the first time, a five-speed ZF5HP19tiptronic automatic transmission with the prefix 01V was offered as an option. [5]
The B5 S4 is the fastest saloon/sedan in the Audi model line and one of the fastest saloon/sedans in the world at the time, with a claimed 0100 km/h (0.062.1 mph) acceleration time of 5.7 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155.3 mph).
