What this segment covers

Fast four-doors and estates, from the Skoda Octavia RS and Volvo V70 R to the RS 6 Avant C8 and M3 Touring: BMW M3 F80, G80 and G81 and the M5 F90, Audi RS 4 and RS 6 Avants and the RS7, Mercedes-AMG C 63, E 63 and CLS 63, the Giulia Quadrifoglio, Lexus IS F and GS F, the Cadillac CTS-V and Kia Stinger GT, plus the electric performance saloons: Taycan 4S, e-tron GT, i4 M50, Model 3 Performance, Model S and the Ioniq 5 N. It is the segment with the most falling 12-month trends in the index.

The September 2026 check

17 of the segment's 29 figures were re-checked against live AutoScout24 Germany asking prices on 1 September 2026 and held. 3 came back out of line. Counting live asks that sit above the published figure, the index reads low on the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio 952 (26 of 28) and high on the Audi RS 6 Avant C6 (2 of 11) and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N NE1 N (8 of 34). 9 could not be read on a consistent basis, either because Germany carries fewer than ten examples or because the trim cannot be separated from a broader model population, and were carried unchanged. No saloon or estate price moved this month; the method is in the September 2026 market note.
