This vehicle is ideal for enthusiasts seeking a high-performance luxury sedan that can also serve as a practical daily driver, offering supercar-level acceleration and a refined interior with ample cargo space.
Strengths
Explosive performance and blindingly quick acceleration (0-60 mph in under 3.5 seconds)
Luxurious and practical for daily driving, offering ample cargo space thanks to its hatchback design
Muscular yet restrained styling, with a high-quality, modern cabin
Excellent handling and rock-solid stability, especially with its standard Quattro all-wheel drive
Tradeoffs
Voracious appetite for fuel, resulting in poor fuel economy
Stiff ride quality, particularly with the optional 22-inch wheels, which can be brittle over rough surfaces
High overall cost of ownership, including significant depreciation and expensive options/packages
Seat comfort may not be ideal for all drivers, with some finding the sport seats less supportive than rivals
What you might regret
Those who prioritize fuel efficiency, a plush ride over rough roads, or a lower overall cost of ownership should look elsewhere, as the RS 7 Performance demands significant financial commitment and compromises in comfort for its extreme capabilities.
