Audi is considering bringing more wagons to the United States, following the launch of the RS6 Avant.
The brand is evaluating which of its European models could make the trip across the Atlantic.

In Europe, Audi offers the A5, S5, and RS5 Avant, as well as the A6 Avant e-tron. Whether any of these come stateside will depend on sales performance.
After decades of decline, wagons are experiencing a small comeback in the US. BMW has brought the M5 Touring, while Mercedes offers the E450 All-Terrain and E53 Hybrid.
Volvo exited the segment but is reportedly considering a mid-size wagon for 2028.
Audi is also planning to bring the new A6 Allroad to America, and it could be just the beginning.
Enthusiast Focus
Speaking to Road & Track, Audi of America's senior vice president of product management, Filip Brabec, emphasized the brand's commitment to enthusiasts.
"We're not sort of the vanilla brand that will just have three or four SUVs and a couple sedans and call it a day," he said.
"We want to be that brand that really pushes the envelope and has something for its enthusiasts."

Brabec added, "We continue to look for opportunities and what other wagons could make sense in the U.
S." While he didn't name specific models, the A5 Avant and A6 Avant e-tron are potential candidates.
The A5 Avant seems an obvious choice, as Audi previously offered the A4 Avant in the US.
The S5 or RS5 Avant could also serve as a stepping stone to the RS6 Avant.
Any decision will come down to sales and whether Audi can make a business case.
Brabec noted that wagon sales are strong in areas with outdoor culture and bad weather.

Interestingly, New York City is also a hot market for wagons due to parking fees—crossovers and SUVs often incur additional charges, while wagons do not.
