Change.org Poll Created to Bring Audi RS 5 Avant to America

[gallery link="file" size="full" columns="1" ids="97984"] Now that we've seen the RS 5 Avant testing, it's only natural that North Americans are eager to see it come to this side of the pond. America hasn't always been on the short list for RS Avants, but the C8 RS 6 Avant proved the market demands just such a car. So, how can we coerce Audi of America and Audi Canada to bring it over? One enthusiast is trying his best by using the tools at his disposal, namely a petition over on Change.org. ...

Intel & Spy Photo Roundup: Audi RS 5 Avant

[gallery link="file" columns="1" size="full" ids="97982"] We've received a new set of spy photos of RS 5 Avant test mules in cold climates, offering a view of new details like wheels and bodywork. We figured, along with that, we'd take the opportunity to summarize what we know and what's been said by reliable sources in the press. The latest round of RS 5 intel comes from AutoCar, a proven reliable source on upcoming new product covering a car we’ve already seen spy photos of testing and f...

Spied: Audi S5 Sportback B10 in Winter Testing

[gallery link="file" columns="1" size="full" ids="97298"] With the B10 internal combustion engine (ICE) offerings switching to the alphanumeric "5" range within the Audi brand, the next S5 Sportback is set to replace both the S4 sedan and the S5 Sportback within the lineup... at least the ICE side of the lineup. In as much, an example of the S5 Sportback was caught winter testing this week. [gallery link="file" columns="1" size="full" ids="97308"] While we've seen presumed S-versions of...

Intel Focus: B10 Audi RS 5 Avant

[gallery link="file" columns="1" size="full" ids="97288"] The latest round of RS 5 intel comes from AutoCar, a proven reliable source on upcoming new product covering a car we’ve already seen spy photos of testing and for which there’s a consensus on configuration. Details reported by AutoCar begin to spell out more production details that, if true, suggest an even more potent B-segment longroof from Audi Sport GmbH. As we already know, internal combustion engine (ICE) offerings from Audi wi...

RS 5 Avant Test Mule Teases Future of Audi ICE Performance

[gallery columns="1" link="file" size="full" ids="96541"] What a week for our spy photographer sources to be in frigid Sweden photographing cold weather testing. Turns out the heat was in Bavaria, as photographers for outlets such as CarWow and Carscoops nabbed shots of maybe one of the most hotly anticipated new models… the upcoming B10 RS 5 Avant. Yes. RS 5. Yes. Avant. For those not keeping track, Audi will move its ICE product range to the odd numbers of its naming convention – A3, A...

Spied: Audi S5 Sportback B10 Now Testing

[gallery columns="1" link="file" size="full" ids="86896"] As the B10-generation of Audi models gets closer to production, further variants have been seen in test mule form. Today's appearance is the S5 Sportback. Most already know that ICE offerings like the B10 will shift to even numbers, meaning the replacement to any A4 derivative will be badged as an A5 derivative. We also know that the sedan is going way, leaving only a Sportback with more utilitarian hatchback rear opening. [gallery col...

Spied: Audi SQ5 B10 Testing at Nürburgring

[gallery size="full" columns="1" ids="85684"] The next-generation Q5 was spied cold-weather testing about a year ago, and now a test mule of the SQ5 has popped up in and around the Nürburgring. This latest version is sporting what appears to be more finalized headlight and taillight designs. Photographers report it also appeared as if the production grille and bumpers were also likely underneath the camo. Bigger brakes can also be seen. The give-away that this was an SQ5 versus more pe...

Spied: B10 Audi S5 Avant

[gallery columns="1" link="file" size="full" ids="84206"] There's a highly believable rumor circulating that Audi will move its ICE offerings to odd numerals in their alphanumeric names, while EV e-tron models will encompass the event numerals. Q4, Q8 e-tron, A6 e-tron concept and the like all seem to point the way, a direction that implies very likely that the upcoming B10 variants will be named with the number 5. It's safe to assume then that what you see here is the S5 Avant, or long roof ve...

Spy Photo: B10 Audi A4 Avant with Production Lights

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="83604"] The B10 Audi A4 Avant has again been spied with lighter camouflage during cold weather testing. And just like with our latest sighting, the prototype has the production lights both front and rear. It also has a lower stage of camouflage giving us the most revealing photos up to date. We are expecting a debut in the second half of 2023 with first deliveries in 2024.

Spy Photo: B10 A4 Avant Drops Camo and Adds Production Lights

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="82214"] We have some more photos showing the all new B10 Audi A4 Avant during testing. This time the prototype has both dropped some camo and added the production lights. Up front we can now see the production version of the grille and the production headlights with DRLs. We can also get a good impression on how the front bumper will look like. We can see the shape and the graphics of the rear lights on this prototype , a prototype that basi...

Spy Photo: Audi B10 S4 Avant

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="81811"] We had some new photos showing the Audi A4 Avant out testing and in this case it’s the S4 Avant that’s out on the snowy roads flaunting its quad exhaust pipes. As for now we have no clear indications about the power but we suspect that the turbo charged V6 petrol engine will stay for this generation possible with some help of mild-hybrid technology. A debut could come at the end of 2023 as a 2024 model.

Spy Photo: 2024 Audi Q5 Spied Inside and Out

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="80900"] Next generation Audi Q5 spied inside and out! Usually there is a saying about prototypes that all test drivers get to hear; never park a prototype next to a current model. Well, I guess they forgot about that in this case as we spied the 2024 Audi Q5 next to the current version giving us a good look in order to compare the two. The new Q5 is both wider and lower by the looks of it but from these angles it's hard to say if the new one is a...

Spy Photo: B10 Audi A4 Avant PHEV

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="80462"] We have some new photos of the Audi A4 Avant and this time it's our first sighting of the PHEV version. Two prototypes were spotted and we can see both the charger port on one of them and some high-voltage stickers on the other one. What we also can see it that they both seem to have a glass roof or is it a roof with solar cells ? Check out the area around the antenna and you will know what I mean. Solar cells on a PHEV car would of cour...

Spy Photo: B10 Audi A4 Avant on the Nürburgring

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="77427"] We have some new photos of the Audi A4 Avant and this time the prototypes make their Nürburgring debut. To be honest there is not much to write home about otherwise since the prototype still looks the same since our first sighting. Engine options will continue to stay petrol and diesel though a fully electric version later on is not to be ruled out. Most likely we will also see the manual gearbox go away with this generation making it au...

Is this PHEV Mule the B10 RS 4 Avant?

Our spy photographers caught a very interesting B10 Audi A4 Avant test mule out testing. While the wheel size and prototype camo on the bodywork suggest something more mundane, the details of this car definitely have us wondering if it's the next RS 4 Avant... and if the next RS 4 Avant is a plug-in hybrid?!? So why do we think RS 4? Well, for starters it's running registration plates beginning with HN. Audi models tend to run IN for Ingolstadt, but Audi Sport models tend to run HN for Heilb...

Spy Photo: B10 Audi A4 Avant Caught Again

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="71183"] Back in January, we saw the first photos of the B10 A4 Avant and now we have a new batch of photos showing the Audi A4 Avant out on test once again. So far we have only spied the Avant (Wagon) version but we think the sedan version will soon show itself as testing continues. One thing that we notice right away is the fact that Audi is making the grille smaller again. In a world when everyone is fighting about who has the biggest grille, A...

Spy Photo: B10 Audi A4 Avant

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="67948"] We spied the next generation Audi A4 Avant in the snow for its first winter test. And one thing that we notice right away is the fact that Audi is making the grille smaller again. In a world when everyone is fighting about who has the biggest grille, Audi is doing the right thing with the next generation A4 called B10 internally. The head lights look sharper than the current generation and as we can see, the rear lights are still just pro...
