Audi RS 5 Sedan 2026 in Saudi Arabia: What to Expect From the New 639 HP Plug-In Hybrid

Saudi Arabia: Audi is preparing to bring a new performance flagship to its A5 family with the new Plug-In Hybrid Audi RS 5 Sedan. This would be the first RS model in history to use plug-in hybrid technology. It arrives in Saudi Arabia with 639 hp, a 3.6-second sprint to 100 km/h, and an all-electric range up to 84 km. By combining the traditional 2.9-litre V6 TFSI with the modern plug-in hybrid technology, it ensures high-performance power, instant electric assistance, and everyday efficiency. Here is what Saudi Arabian buyers can expect from the new Audi RS 5 Sedan when it arrives in the region.

Powertrain and Performance

The RS 5 Sedan combines the traditional petrol V6 with an electric motor. The Powertrain numbers are as follows: 

Specification	Figure
Petrol engine	2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 TFSI
Petrol engine output	375 kW (510 PS)
Electric motor	130 kW
System output	470 kW (639 hp)
0 to 100 km/h	3.6 seconds
Top speed	Up to 285 km/h (optional)
All-electric range	Up to 84 km, provisional, WLTP
Drivetrain	quattro with Dynamic Torque Control

The 639 hp is the combined system output from the engine and the motor both.

Dynamic Torque Control

The RS 5 Sedan uses a completely new quattro drivetrain with electromechanical torque vectoring on the rear axle. In plain terms, the car can send different amounts of power to the left and right rear wheels independently.
