2021 Audi RS7 review

1. Massive horsepower 

Are you looking for a daily driver that will put a smile on your face, even during a long commute? Well, the 4.0L twin turbo V8 engine in the 2021 Audi RS7 makes an amazing 591 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. Power goes through an eight-speed automatic and, naturally, all-wheel drive comes as standard equipment.  

2. Great luxury features 

The RS7 only comes in one trim level, and it's loaded with great comfort and convenience features across the board. On the inside, you get standard leather upholstery with heated and ventilated sports seats, four-zone climate control, and a panoramic sunroof. If you want to up the luxury factor, the options list is full of great additions like massaging seats, upgraded leather upholstery, and heated rear seats. So you'll be able to find just the right 2021 RS7 for your needs. 

3. The latest tech 

In addition to the powerful engine, the RS7 has a suite of powerful technology options. You'll get standard features such as dual touchscreen displays (10.1-inch upper and 8.6-inch lower) with navigation, Android Auto^™ and wireless Apple CarPlay^® integration, wireless device charging, and a Bang & Olufsen^® audio system. Optional extras include upgraded premium audio options plus a host of driver aids like blind sport monitoring, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and even a night vision system.  

4. Comfort and performance 

Sure, the RS7 was built to go fast — very fast, in fact, with 60 mph arriving in just 3.3 seconds (according to the manufacturer, when new) — but it was built for comfort as well. In addition to all the great luxury interior features, the RS7 allows you to adjust the adaptive air suspension to fit your driving style. If you are taking a long cruise on the highway, comfort mode might be your best choice, but when you're ready to tackle your favorite back roads, just press the RS button on the steering wheel and you'll be ready to carve corners.  

5. Hatchback practicality 

Having a performance car doesn't mean you have to sacrifice practicality. All RS7 models come in a great-looking fastback layout and the rear hatch is ready to tackle a surprising amount of stuff. With seating for five and an impressive 24.6 cu-ft of space behind the rear seats, the RS7 is more than just a performance machine. It might just be a surprisingly practical addition to your garage.
