The BMW M5 Touring makes a bold comeback, going head-to-head with the Audi RS6. Both vehicles cater to drivers who refuse to compromise performance, luxury, or practicality.
The M5 Touring reappears after a long hiatus, boasting an extended body, aerodynamic enhancements, and a striking presence. It features a powerful 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine paired with an electric motor, delivering a combined 727 hp. Its 0-62 mph sprint is clocked at 3.6 seconds, and its top speed is 189 mph.
The Audi RS6, a long-time favourite, continues to impress with its sleek design and robust performance. Equipped with a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, it offers up to 630 hp in its Performance variant, achieving 0-62 mph in just 3.4 seconds. The RS6’s top speed, with the Dynamic Plus package, peaks at 190 mph.
While the BMW M5 Touring is priced at $122,675, the Audi RS6 Avant starts slightly higher at $127,695. Both models offer a range of customization options that can significantly increase the final price.
In this face-off, choosing between the two may be a personal preference for design, brand loyalty, or specific performance needs. Still, either way, you’re getting a high-performance wagon with serious capabilities.
