Audi Rs7 Interior 2019
The interior is less well distinguished from that of any other A7, but few will be minded to complain, considering the aura of expensively appointed, high-tech luxury and quality that it exudes. The seats are top-notch for both long-distance comfort and sporting support, while the special RS-branded instrumentation modes are at least novel and different – although, if you're anything like this tester, you'll probably end up switching back to the normal Virtual Cockpit clocks.
Meanwhile, two new driving modes help to distinguish the RS7's driving experience. Taking a leaf that's been nestling in the BMW M Division's performance car playbook for quite some time, Audi Sport has added individually configurable settings. Labeled RS1 and RS2, they're available in addition to the normal presets (Auto, Dynamic, Comfort and Efficiency) and can be toggled between very easily via a button on the steering wheel boss. Their inclusion might seem like it adds to the complexity of the driving experience, but they're actually an effective way to navigate that complexity and to save the particular combinations of steering, gearbox, suspension and drivetrain calibrations as you chance across them so that you don't have to fiddle so hard to find them next time.
Use the default Auto or Comfort modes and the engine starts with a rich but demure woofle, staying quiet and smooth on all but the widest-open throttle. Dial up Dynamic mode and there's a bit more audible charm about it, but never anything like as much as some of the RS7's rivals have. There's lots of outright performance to summon, of course – although, again, not so much as to make the RS7 really stand out in a basket of cars that can safely be described as ridiculously quick.
There's enough, however, to make very short work of whatever type of road happens to lie ahead. And the understated violence of the RS7's power delivery finds its reflection in handling that's ever secure and precise, and quite agile and wieldy-feeling in tighter corners, considering the sheer bulk of the car. It doesn't go over the top with its directional responsiveness, though, and always keeps cornering attitude under close control.
Body control is tight but very seldom tetchy, even in RS7s fitted with coil suspension, while the ride is fairly supple and quiet most of the time.
Should I buy one?
The RS7 is easy to drive very quickly and would be well capable of slipping into your daily motoring life with remarkable suaveness. It's not a fast grand tourer to make your hair stand on end on those special roads and drives; it's one to live a little less long in the memory at its height, perhaps, but also to enjoy in a more broadly based way on every day of the year, come rain or shine. It's the big fast Audi very much as we know it, then, but refined and updated, and still convincing enough it its own particular, understated way.
If you prefer the more esoteric, leftfield appeal of the closely related RS6 Avant, you won't be alone. But if you don't need quite as much lugging room as that hot estate provides, and you'd prefer the more exotic silhouette of a four-door grand tourer on your driveway, you'll like a lot else about this car besides.
For us, it would just about beat its opposite numbers from BMW M and Mercedes-AMG for visual allure and ownership appeal, albeit not quite for driver appeal. But a lot of people, on a lot of journeys undertaken on any given day of the year, would probably be willing to forgive it that last fact.
