Audi RS6 Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

The RS 6 Avant is the high-performance wagon in Audi's lineup, and our data for 2026 lists a single model, the RS 6 Avant performance. That keeps the price question simple. There is one starting number, one destination charge, and then whatever options and dealer charges you add.

The one thing to watch is which number you are reading. Some sources quote the MSRP alone, and others add the destination charge. Both are correct, and they differ by the destination charge.

Audi's own pricing, as published on its USA newsroom, puts the 2026 RS 6 Avant performance at $130,700. TrueCar lists the same starting MSRP at $130,700.

TrueCar also lists a second figure, $132,095, which includes the destination charge. Use that one if you want something close to the window sticker before options, taxes, and registration. Use the first if you are comparing against other MSRPs that exclude destination.

Do not mix the two when you compare the RS 6 with rivals. A number with destination against a number without it makes the Audi look more expensive than it is.

Audi charges a destination and delivery fee on every new vehicle.

For the RS 6 Avant it is $1,395, per Audi USA Newsroom. It is a fixed charge and appears as a line on the window sticker.

Our data covers only the starting MSRP. Audi sells paint colors, wheels, brakes, interior trims, and driver-assistance or audio upgrades that can change the final price. A few of these come only as part of packages. Configure the exact RS 6 you want on Audi's USA website and write down the total, because dealers may stock different combinations and quote them differently.

The RS 6 Avant is a performance flagship, and its price reflects that. Put the sticker next to what you plan to use it for. If you mostly want a fast, practical car for commuting and weekend trips, compare it with a similarly equipped alternative from other brands, then compare the running costs, not only the purchase price.

Audi dealers set their own selling prices. Limited-volume performance models can sell above MSRP in some markets, and a dealer may add accessories or protection packages. Others sell at or near the sticker. Ask for an itemized, out-the-door quote, and request one from more than one Audi dealer. You do not have to accept add-ons.

• Insurance. High-performance vehicles generally cost more to insure than mainstream ones. Get quotes before you sign.
• Fuel. Check the EPA estimate and the recommended fuel grade in the owner's manual.
• Tires and brakes. Performance tires and large brakes cost more to replace than standard ones, and they wear faster with spirited driving.
• Maintenance. Ask the dealer for the service schedule and what the warranty covers.
• Depreciation. It depends on mileage, condition, and demand.

Audi Financial Services and outside lenders offer loans and leases. Your rate depends on credit and term, and a lease also depends on mileage and residual value. Compare a lease quote against what buying would cost over the same period. A licensed financial professional can help you weigh the options.

Ask whether a quote includes destination, and which options are already installed on the car you are looking at. Ask for a list of every dealer-added item and its price. If you trade in a vehicle, settle the purchase price first and the trade-in value afterward, so each number stays clear. For a car at this price, also ask what the warranty covers and how service intervals are scheduled.
