2014 Audi RS7 review

1. Fast and powerful 

The 2014 Audi RS7 boasts a 560-horsepower, twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8 engine. The eight-speed automatic transmission sends that power to all four wheels, offering a sporty driving character. If you’re merging onto the highway or you’ve got a long, straight stretch of road ahead of you, you can get from zero to 60 in just 3.4 seconds in this sedan. 

2. Ample driver aids 

Considering all that power behind the wheel, you’ll be glad to have a robust suite of standard driver aids to give you confidence on the road. The 2014 Audi RS7 delivers with a blind-spot warning system, collision warning system, and brake lights that warn drivers behind you if they get too close. Several other driver-assistance features are also available on the car, including lane-departure warning/keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and night vision with pedestrian detection.  

3. Well-appointed cabin 

With heated eight-way power front sport seats and a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, the 2014 Audi RS7 makes it easy to find a comfortable seating position. If you share the car with another driver, you’ll appreciate the driver memory settings, which will bring the leather-upholstered driver’s seat back to your ideal position. For an even more soothing drive, the available Comfort Seating package adds multi-contour front seats complete with a massage function.  

4. Adaptive drive modes 

Whether you’re looking for a smooth highway ride or sporty handling for twists and turns, you can get the drive style you’re looking for with the 2014 Audi RS7. Toggle through three distinctive drive modes—Automatic, Comfort, or Dynamic (Sport)—to instantly adjust the steering responsiveness, engine output, adaptive air suspension, and exhaust and engine sound. Overall, it offers a wide spectrum to balance comfort and performance for different driving conditions. 

5. Generous cargo space 

For a sedan, the 2014 Audi RS7 offers generous room for luggage, groceries, and anything else you might want to get from here to there. With the back seats up, you’ll have 24.5 cu-ft of cargo space, rivaling that of a compact-to-midsize SUV. The hatchback configuration also makes it easy to load up the trunk and maximize all available space.
