Totally agree man, the new RS4 looks as a downgrade to the pre-facelift, exterior changes and that new infotainment screen just don't make any sense to me.
I find the previous generation RS4 to be infinitely better than the current one. It looked a lot more similar to the RS6 and the rear end was much more elegant
1. RS6 panoramic roof is not panoramic. its disappointing. its basically 2 sunroofs. 2. RS4: There's nothing wrong with buttons and nobs. Most people prefer that than touchscreen or haptic feedback screens.
I have the RS4 B9 Sport Edition in glacier white 2019 and I wouldn’t swap it for anything , stage 1 530BHP / 700 Nm torque and it can keep track with both new and old RS6’s
I bought the RS4 last summer having been a 3 x RS6 owner prior to that. Big differences for me are obvs the V6 vs V8 and the size (inside and out). Apart from that, they're similarly specced, provide similar driving expereinces - the RS4 being a much smaller unit feels just as quick on the road although the way it gets there and the sound it makes are clearly v different from the V8. Add to this that the V6 sound even with the optional sports exhaust sounds rather manufactured to me. Oh and of course there's the small point of a £30k difference between similary-specced units. I bought my last RS6 in 2017 for something like £85k so was a definite step up to > £100k for the replacement 2020 model
I absolutely love the rs6, but there's just something about the sound of the ferrari f12 that makes me want to fill my pants. The rs6 is so damn practical though.
Had different variants of both , but overall I found the RS4 just a little more fun and engaging to drive. Being quite a bit cheaper also, it gets my vote. However, if they were the same price then I’d of course take the RS6 😜
I actually think the interior of the rs4 is much nicer, and less touchscreen is a big plus to me, i dont know who feels comfortable to touch screens while driving a car this fast, but the market goes that direction…
RS4 is perfect for whether a family with one child and a dog, or a single person, no kids, who wants sporty functionality in the car, and the RS4 ticks all the boxes of performance, style and functionality.. I can definitely see myself in an RS4 though. I'm in AU, Country with Speed limits, RS4 will do just fine. Thx for the video.. much appreciated 👍
Appreciate the comparison…but both cars should’ve been in similar colors, light colors. It’d be easier to see the difference much better. Lines can be seen easier. Thanks for the video. Great comparison. Hard choices for me to make. The RS 6 just looks amazing.
Both are great cars but with huge price difference. For a family of 3/4, RS4 will be enough, it is smaller, more agile and nimble on the road. For long hauls, I prefer sq7 as it is more spacious and still have the power and torque
I own an rs4 B9 2018 (sounds better because till 2018 they did not have opf filters). Indeed, the rs4 is great for a city + better value for money and more agile.
if we’re talking about performance there’s no comparison, but we all know that and it’s fair. the problem here is the styling of the RS4, totally wrong: front and rear lights are so weird, the fake slats are horrible
@@joelyons886 expecting my nardo grey in a couple of days after a 7 month wait. but as you say, with full black rims etc. this "colour" is special as 90% are daytona grey or black.
I’m so torn between them, after my S4 was stolen I miss the fun. I have been looking at the RS6 - looks much bigger, has V8 etc but then RS4 - little smaller, V6, only little bit slower plus price difference is huge.
7:48 Why are you putting your family in the boot? Or are we putting someone else's family in there? 🤔 9:16 'Twill' is just the type of weave. You can make both plain weave and twill weave in gloss or matt finish. Audi just decided to go with a matt finish.
I just wish we had more options for hatchbacks and wagons here in North America.. We have too many crossovers, which I find rather ugly. Full size SUVs are nice for utility, but don't handle anything like a wagon with the high center of gravity and weight.. We get the RS6 here, but no option for the RS4 or RS3 Sportback. Not really any other options for other manufacturers either, with few exceptions here or their. Toyota Corolla GR is coming soon, and in AWD with a 6 speed manual to boot. Me being single, and for the price, reliability, fuel economy, ect.. that may be my best option for the mean time. 120-140k plus likely markups is a bit much.. Not too worried about cargo space, I have my Ford F250 and 16 ft cargo trailer for that sorta stuff lol. I just want a fun, fast, performance oriented hatchback or wagon that's more comfy, and fuel efficient than my big arse truck. My trucks size is also a pain at times at shopping malls, parking garages, drive throughs, and such areas.. It's so hard to find cars that I actually like these days, and are also available for purchase here in the USA.. I'm not really into supercars or hotrods, nor do I like cramped coupes that you can only fit a couple duffle bags in. Crossovers are rather ugly, and they all look the same, and full size SUVs have similar issues to my truck being big ole gas hogs that handle like a muscular cow. Is it too much to simply ask for a nice hatchback or wagon?! Sedans just aren't the same, as the trunk/boot is more confined and don't open as wide. I guess for now I'll just wait a bit anyways, the economy isn't in the best place at the moment.
Beautiful cars! I love my Audi, one day I will get am RS model... Gotta have life goals right?! 😂 Oh ps... A "V" in German is pronounced as an F so it's pronounced Forsprung. You did ask 😁
Here! Here! Even though I'll never be able to afford these 2021 RS4&6 for the "Common" hard working man it's gotta be the B7 RS4 in the Sedan or Avant both are timeless beasts that turn heads even now days and although not as fast as the force fed modern day Audi's they are simply sensational to drive with that damn orchestra under the bonnet each and every time the accelerator pedal is depressed the brutish high revving naturally aspirated V8 none of this "Pops n Bangs" rubbish the kids of today are obsessed with, the induction RAWWW and the deep burble are all real, nothing artificial pumped thru the BOSE surround sound system in the B7 just the sweet sweet sound of an incredibly well designed and engineered 4.2 V8. Maybe I'm too old, maybe I'm just jealous, I wouldn't say no to a new RS6 hell naw, but then again, I wouldn't say no to any RS6 no matter what series it was, they are all incredible vehicles for their respective generations. Twin Turbo V10 phwoarrrr HELL YEAH..
I'm not yet convinced that the new RS6 looks better than the previous one on the outside. That said RS6 all the way for me. I don't like how this new RS4 looks.
The sort of fake air intakes on the sides of the lights of the RS4 look so bad. I can’t really understand what was in their heads designing this, it looks like a cheap joe tuning kit, it’s a bit ridiculous. It is such a departure from the classy understated look you are after when considering those cars. The RS6 looks way better in that regards.
Hello mate, here is something a little different. So upon reading the top 50 or so comments I was more than a little surprised at the lack of any sort of critique, constructive or otherwise.. For any relatively new UA-cam content creator reading that amount of gratuitous adulation from their modest subscriber base, well its human nature for ones ego to get a little cocky and arrogant to varying degrees depending on the individual of course. But when a content creator receives only glowing and positive comments who could really blame them if they thought their content was perfection and no improvement was required? I'm not for a second implying this is you, but if it was you, I wouldn't be at all surprised, you are after all human I presume? Like I said in the first sentence, here's something a little different, and the difference being I'm here to help, here to help you improve your videos and attract more subscribers by improving some of the obvious things I believe you could do better. You can ignore me and tell me to sod off or worse, and id probably sigh at the amount of time I'd just wasted but shit happens hey. If you want to improve your videos and appeal to a broader audience, here then is a few obvious things I've derived from watching this presentation. And remember, it's constructive criticism not negative feedback and most definitely NOT hate! The first thing I immediately thought was OMG how fricken cold is it where you filmed this episode? Did you have a cold or something because you seemed out of breath like it was hard to breath or something? You were sniffling quite a lot or it sounded like that anyway. Obviously being a cold day you had to wear appropriate attire, however a silky jacket made a hell of a racquet every time you moved and it was yet more distraction on top of the breathing difficulty mentioned above. To a lesser extent but still one to avoid next time is stepping on or walking on those white paver rocks that are noisy and again picked up on the microphone and yet another distraction from the commentary. I'm unsure if you were under the weather that day or it's just your relaxed demeanor but your near monotone narration throughout the entire video was dull flat and uninspiring. Almost like you didn't want to be there? = not good. From a viewers perspective, from the outside looking in, we see a young guy who has been given a super rare and highly desirable opportunity to review 2 incredible vehicles that are lusted after and desired by millions of car enthusiasts from all over the world, and yet to watch you on screen for this particular video your level of enthusiasm or lack thereof came across like you really weren't impressed by either of these cars to be honest, which surely can't be possible? Unless of course your daily driver is a koenigsegg jesko. In some of the scenes it was obvious that you were trying to get thru the outside portion of the review in one continuous take? Which is just silly mate, there is no harm in breaking up the scenes and editing them together in post. Unless you are Chris Harris or Jeremy Clarkson it's near impossible to keep your flow and enthusiasm going seemlessly not to mention the importance of the script and knowing what you want to say next and how to transition from point to point. NO BEGINNERS can do this as it takes years and years of experience. There's absolutely nothing wrong with doing multiple takes keeping them snappy and upbeat, high energy and stitching them together in post. That's what EVERYONE does mate (bar the professionals.) ok I think I've said enough for one video. I'm under no illusions that I'll be copping an absolute hiding from your loyal fans but I'm here to kiss the asses of complete strangers I'm here because I think you have potential but nobody here is being honest with you and without constructive criticism in life and difficult to hear honest feedback how can you improve? Food for thought mate. And to address my inevitable hate train approaching in the distance, No I don't think I could do a better job than him, of course not. But I do know that he can do much better than this. So I told him what I honestly think, by comparison with all the other automotive channels I regularly watch. Without growth it's impossible to make any kind of impact on the YT scene and to grow you need to be up to standard at the very least and ideally you will have a spark, something that people will remember you by, something different from all the rest. And that my friends is something nobody can teach. You either got it or you don't.. I genuinely hope you can take this critique and learn from it. I'll be watching future presentations to see if you did. Good luck mate 👍
@@vincentkc6033 I notice you didn’t address the quality point because you knew you wouldn’t get anywhere with that. In 50,000 miles between a Q7 and RS4 basically been fine. Audi fans out there for a reason 🤣
*Which side are you on RS4 or RS6 and why?*
RS4
RS6 as I have one and I love it. It makes me smile just seeing the light animation, let alone that amazing performance
RS4. I own one, in the Vorsprung trim. Awesome machine with day-to-day practicality. A proper Q car, which is what running an RS wagon is all about.
RS4. Much lighter than the RS6 and handles better. Does everything very well. An extremely quick pocket rocket.
RS4 (pre-facelift)
If someone offered me a car to have for the rest of my life it would be an rs6
Yes same here.
Cmon bro,in the presence of rs7
The pre-facelift RS4 was much nicer I think. Would actually take that over either of these ones.
Totally agree man, the new RS4 looks as a downgrade to the pre-facelift, exterior changes and that new infotainment screen just don't make any sense to me.
I find the previous generation RS4 to be infinitely better than the current one. It looked a lot more similar to the RS6 and the rear end was much more elegant
Agreed!
Vorsprung is pronounced foorsprung. It’s German so v is a f.
Couldn’t agree more. I’d buy the previous gen for the rotary wheel and smaller infotainment screen alone.
1. RS6 panoramic roof is not panoramic. its disappointing. its basically 2 sunroofs.
2. RS4: There's nothing wrong with buttons and nobs. Most people prefer that than touchscreen or haptic feedback screens.
A great video again. Your video’s are so relaxing to watch!
I have the RS4 B9 Sport Edition in glacier white 2019 and I wouldn’t swap it for anything , stage 1 530BHP / 700 Nm torque and it can keep track with both new and old RS6’s
Not a mapped RS6 would walk an rs4
@@hbmustangs 😂 okay , RS6 gives away almost 600kg over RS4 , mapped RS3 can keep in touch with both also
Head says RS4, heart says RS6
Wallet says rs3 😂
Wallet says you can’t even afford an A1 😂
@@maxyandrewson9494 rs3 is quicker than an rs4 because its lighter and better chassis as its meant for the track. Maybe you meant an A3

Fantastic video, very in depth review.
yes Jacko!
@7:40 "wonderful bootspace!"
Nailed it.
Great comparison, superb video quality, awesome driving scenes 👍🏽
