Scheduled to officially go on sale in Mzansi from April, the RS 6 Avant is priced at R2,070,000 while the RS 7 Sportback is slapped with a R2,173,500 price tag.

The front-ends of both models are equipped with a new hood together with a power dome, flatter, sportier headlight structure with HD Matrix LED headlights, laser light and darkened trims as a standard. 

There is a three-dimensional honeycomb structure within the Singleframe grille that is finished in gloss black and a new RS bumper.

There is a mild hybrid system with a 48-volt main on-board electrical system that Audi claims combine maximum performance with high efficiency.
