And the next-gen Audi A4 e-tron will also be topped by a hot RS model.
The competent Audi A4 lineup is going to look very different in a few years as the brand transitions to fully electric powertrains. However, the next-generation A4 that is due in 2023 won't immediately ditch combustion power - at least not at the lower end of the lineup. Autocar has shed some more light on what to expect from the sixth generation of Audi's BMW 3 Series fighter. The range will use two different platforms depending on whether the specific model is a hybrid or a pure battery-electric. Right at the top, a new RS variant with all-wheel drive won't use a combustion engine at all.
