The new RS 6 Avant** is even roomier inside. The luggage compartment has a capacity of between 565 (20.0 cu ft) and 1,680 liters (59.3 cu ft), the loading width between the wheel arches is now 1,050 millimeters (3.4 ft), 14 millimeters (0.6 in) larger than the previous model. The pioneering interior design accentuates with its driver orientation and the inlays in aluminum race, anthracite the sporty character of the new RS 6 Avant. With its horizontal alignment and the tiered, three-dimensional structure, the instrument panel appears light and sleek. The user interface of the fully digital operating system harmonizes with the clear black panel design, which also includes the glossy asymmetrical console of the center tunnel. It integrates a second display and a strip of buttons. It and the control panel for the lighting functions are optionally available with touch response technology. The top MMI touch response display is incorporated almost invisibly into the black-panel architecture.
As standard, the driver and front passenger sit on RS sport seats in black pearl Nappa leather/Alcantara with a rhombus pattern and RS embossing. The RS sport seats are optionally covered with perforated Valcona leather, featuring a honeycomb pattern and RS embossing. Aside from the seat heating, their perforation also makes a ventilation function possible for the first time.
Red and gray: the design packages
The RS design packages add some color into the cockpit. They offer the steering wheel rim, gear lever gaiter and knee pads in Alcantara with contrasting stitching in a choice of red or gray. Belt straps with color edging and RS floor mats round out the package. Optional inlays in gray-brown wood or matt aluminum open up a range of possibilities for customizing the interior.
The contour ambient lighting package emphasizes the interior of the new RS 6 Avant in the dark and highlights the space, volume and materials. The ambient light makes the dashboard and center console seem to float, and in the door it enhances the sense of space. The contour light traces the large lines on the center console and in the door panels and can be set to any of 30 colors. Illuminated seat belt buckles make it easier to find the seat belt buckle in the dark, thereby increasing the level of comfort for the occupants. RS and RS 6 logos adorn the interior on the steering wheel, seats and the illuminated front door sill trims. Projectors at the bottom on the front and rear doors beam the Audi Sport emblem onto the ground when the doors are open.
Attractively practical: typical Avant variability

The split-folding rear seat bench in the ratio 40:20:40 can be released and folded conveniently from the luggage compartment – the luggage compartment length has grown to roughly two meters (6.5 ft) as a result. The luggage compartment lid and luggage compartment cover are power assisted as standard.
