3 Answers
Audi RS4 has 2 models on sale, with a curb weight of 1840kg. It is a 5-door, 5-seater station wagon with dimensions of 4782*1866*1437mm. In terms of power, the Audi RS4 2022 model has four variants: the Black Edition and the Dark Gold Edition. It is equipped with a 2.9L twin-turbocharged engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission. The engine has 6 cylinders, all arranged longitudinally. The drivetrain is front-engine, all-wheel drive. In terms of other configurations, all or some models of the Audi RS4 2022 are equipped with features such as driver/passenger airbags, front/rear side curtain airbags, ISOFIX child seat anchors, driving assistance imaging, rear cross-traffic alert, and driving mode selection. It is worth noting that the highlights of the new Audi RS4's engine include being the first high-speed engine used in an Audi production model, with a maximum engine speed of 8250 rpm; 90% of the engine's torque is continuously available between 2250 and 7600 rpm. This allows the vehicle to provide sufficient traction across a wider range. It also utilizes FSI technology, a gasoline direct injection system that ensures more efficient fuel-air mixture.
I often drive the Audi RS4, which has a curb weight of around 1,795 kg – a normal range for performance cars in its class. The weight mainly comes from the V6 biturbo engine and quattro all-wheel-drive system, slightly affecting acceleration but delivering stable handling. In daily city driving, fuel consumption is about 14L/100km, dropping to 11L/100km during highway cruising. Compared to a standard A4, it's over 200kg heavier, making the body feel more planted during cornering without floatiness. It's comfortable for long trips and inspires confidence during high-speed lane changes. Regular tire pressure and suspension checks are recommended to maintain optimal handling despite the weight.
As a performance car enthusiast, I've tested the RS4's weight at approximately 1,795 kg. While this weight somewhat limits initial acceleration, its 2.9-second 0-100km/h sprint is entirely compensated by sheer power. At high speeds, the car feels planted to the ground with minimal wind resistance and reduced tendency to slip. The weight actually aids the quattro system, providing exceptional cornering grip. The downside is slightly higher fuel consumption, averaging around 13L/100km in daily driving. I'd recommend opting for lightweight tires to shave off a few kilograms.
