Audi claims U.S. figures will be announced at a later date.

It comes standard with adaptive air suspension but can be optioned instead with an RS sport suspension that gets variable hydraulic dampers. The body is widened over the standard Avant by 1.6 inches on either side, and it gets the usual RS exterior bodywork look, including a gloss black grille and RS exhaust system.
