2017 Allroad, or 2018 S5 sportback/wagon/coupe.
The C7 S6 has less headroom than your RS4? That’s surprising, wouldn’t have guessed that!
E63 S AMG
Another vote for C7 A6 diesel that is or a diesel Q7
Is C63 AMG too small?
Same size as B6/7 chassis… Lovely seats and tons and tons and tons of power, but it is rwd. At this point I’d rather take E63 over C63, much more spacious.
Not liking the look at all (personally). I’m also assuming the head room won’t be enough for him.
I like the allroad and the widebody. Basically a 2.0T RS4 if you style it correctly. We have a B8 A4 Avant right now and it’s solid.
I don’t even know what that S5 is…are we getting that? My friend has an S5 and I find it rough getting in and out of. Too low for me.
nobody said that lol. Although it might be true, the RS4 is pretty decent. But still not nearly enough, so I sit leaned way back. Remember? I can almost look left out the back window. Boravr6 took a video of my car after I went 12.75 and you can see how laid back my seat has to be so I don’t crack my head on the ceiling.

AWD one. Good car. On my list for sure.
A6 too small for headroom
Q7 too unwieldy
both great cars that I like
too RWD.
the 22 mpg is gasoline engine only. So that’s irrelevant. Porsche estimates combined electric and gas you’ll see around 47 mpg. Not that this matters much…we’re talking about saving $1000/year on fuel. Big deal.
There’s a guy on fuelly whose average is in the high 50s and his best tank was 79 MPG. He said he has a short commute (like me) and ran the battery mostly on that tank (like me). Better way to put it, that’s 1600 miles or 2700 kms between fillups at a gas station.
Or SQ5 / Macan turbo (Macan S is a no)
I think the S5 sportback will be larger than a B7 by a good margin. Rear headroom is the only thing you lose. The front headroom should be the same as a B8/B9.
I see a lot of 4 series sedan on the road in the US, so I think Audi will match BMW here. Unless they like losing those sales.
They have a 2018 Panamera version of the E-Hybrid too. Pretty cool. They are pretty shy on describing the range.
That actually launched in 2015.
Range is similar. About 15 miles electric only.
Headroom sucks in there too.
Cayenne was quote a bit better. Which was a relief because I really didn’t want to end up liking a panamera after all the shit I talked about it when it came out.
There’s also a BMW x5 plug in and a Mercedes Gle plug in. BMW turbo 4. Mercedes turbo 6.
That s5 sport back looks awesome. The previous Gen one did too.
An rs5 sport back would be great. Then they don’t need to try to sell an rs4 wagon here.
