Luxury meets performance: A showdown of power, precision, and practicality
High-performance wagons have come a long way. In 2025, they combine raw power, premium comfort, and everyday practicality. Two top contenders in this segment are the BMW M5 Touring and the Audi RS6 Avant.
If you live in a hilly area like Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, surrounded by winding roads and long highway drives, one model clearly stands out.
Spoiler alert: the BMW M5 Touring 2025 redefines what it means to drive with passion and purpose.
Design: Sleek sophistication vs. assertive aggression
The BMW M5 Touring 2025 is built to impress. With its sculpted lines, bold M grille, sleek LED headlights, and aerodynamic wheels, it exudes upscale confidence—refined without being flashy.
The Audi RS6 Avant takes a more muscular approach. Its wide grille and aggressive air intakes cater to fans of raw power, though its bulkier stance may not appeal to everyone.
Powertrain: Hybrid power, perfectly controlled
Under the hood, the M5 Touring packs a 717-hp hybrid twin-turbo V8 with BMW’s xDrive AWD system—perfect for snowy Quebec roads.
The Audi RS6 sticks to its trusted 621-hp gasoline engine, sprinting from 0–100 km/h in 3.4 seconds. Impressive, but the M5 does it in under 3.2 seconds and with better fuel efficiency thanks to hybrid tech.
Driving experience: The road is your playground
The M5 Touring adapts to any terrain—highways, mountain roads, or weekend family trips. Its adaptive suspension and active differential ensure agile, controlled handling, even around Sainte-Agathe’s winding routes.
While the RS6 is incredibly stable, its firmer ride and filtered feedback make the drive feel more detached.
Interior: For Getaways or Daily Life
Inside the M5 Touring, comfort reigns. A curved digital display, voice-activated commands, luxurious finishes, and spacious seating/cargo make it perfect for daily commutes or Laurentian getaways.
The RS6 also offers a quality interior, but its interface is less intuitive and feels more conservative.
Versatility: Performance meets practicality
With over 500 liters of cargo space, all-season driving capabilities, and customizable driving modes, the M5 Touring is built for active families—without sacrificing thrills.
The RS6 is practical too, but without hybrid efficiency, fuel costs could add up quickly.
Final verdict: The M5 Touring is a cut above
The BMW M5 Touring 2025 doesn’t just compete with the RS6 Avant—it surpasses it. More power, more refinement, more versatility. It’s the ultimate performance wagon.
