Is the Audi RS7 a good car? 

The realm of top-tier sports sedans is without doubt held by the Germans. Audi's offering comes in the form of the RS7 and it is an exceptional driving experience. It is hard to fault this pinnacle of design and engineering.

Who is the Audi RS7 a good car for?

The Audi RS7 is a good car for executives and individuals that truly enjoy a luxurious yet sporty driving experience that delivers at every corner.

Is the Audi RS7 a good first car?

Due to the high-strung nature and multi-million rand price tag, this one is best left to experienced motorists.

Is the Audi RS7 a good family car?

The sloping roofline encroaches on rear seating but aside from that, there is plenty of legroom and boot space for a small family. 

 

Is there a Hybrid Audi RS7?

The RS7 forgoes alternative drives and is powered by a 441kW V8 petrol engine that delivers 800Nm and is assisted by a 48v mild hybrid starter generator.

What’s it like to drive? 

Reviewer's opinion

The RS7 Sportback sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds – that is proper supercar pulling power.  Audi limits the top speed in the standard configuration to 250 km/h, and when specified with the Dynamic Package Plus, top speed increases to 305 km/h.

What is the Audi RS7 like inside? 

Luxury and Sportiness meet at a near-perfect intersection with a rich luxurious interior clad in black Velcona leather with a honeycomb pattern, trimmed in carbon fibre, brushed aluminium, and Alcantara.

 

Style

Audi has managed to blend a sports driving experience with plush luxury. The seats are not only body-hugging but also soft and supple making this wonderful GT tourer. The seemingly endless list of interior options means that you can go from mild to wild depending on your personal taste. You can go for the sporty RS package that kits oyt the interior with Alcantara trim, brushed aluminium and carbon fibre or go in teh opposite direction with a luxury fitment of leather and gloss black trim.
