Buyer’s Guide
History/Overview
After a few years’ hiatus, the Audi RS 7 is back as the highest-performance version of the brand’s mid-size hatchback model.
What’s New/Key Changes From Last Year
The RS 7’s look is new for 2021, and it’s got more power than before, too.
Available Trims
Audi offers the RS 7 in a single trim, powered by a turbocharged 4.0L V8 engine, an eight-speed transmission, and AWD.
Standard Features
Exterior features include 21-inch wheels and tires, heated/auto-dimming/power-folding side mirrors, RS bumpers and rear spoiler, a sport exhaust, lighted door sills, laser light headlights, LED taillights, power door closers, passive keyless entry, and a power tailgate.
Inside, there’s a flat-bottomed steering wheel with shift paddles, RS sport seats, Valcona leather upholstery, eight-way power driver’s seat, four-way driver and front passenger lumbar, power steering wheel adjustments, front seat ventilation, leatherette dashboard and door armrests, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, four-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, and a rear window sun shade.
Tech features include satellite radio, a smartphone interface, head-up display, wireless smartphone charging, a 10.6-inch infotainment display, navigation, and a Bang & Olufsen stereo.
Safety-wise, you get tire pressure monitoring, automatic high beams, pre sense rear, and blind spot monitoring.
Key Options
A driver assistance package adds traffic sign recognition, turn assist, traffic congestion assist, active lane assist, efficiency assist, emergency assist, and active cruise assist.
A dynamics package adds a sport rear differential, and all-wheel steering.
Fuel Economy
Audi’s fuel consumption estimates for the RS 7 are 16.0/10.5 L/100 km (city/highway).
Competition
Audi designed the RS 7 to run with Europe’s quickest mid-sized cars, so it will keep up with the likes of a BMW M5, Mercedes-AMG E 63 or Porsche Panamera Turbo. Its large cargo area also means the RS 7 is an excellent alternative to high-powered SUVs and crossovers.

A sudden loss of power to the wheels may increase the risk of a crash.

Issue:
On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image not to appear on the display. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear.
Safety Risk:
A rearview camera image that does not display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Volkswagen will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the infotainment software.

Manufacturer Recall Number:

Units Affected:

Notification Type:
Safety Mfr
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the fuel level sender may get stuck. If this happens, the fuel gauge can show a higher fuel level than what is actually in the fuel tank. This could cause a driver to believe there is fuel when the tank is empty. As a result, the vehicle could run out of fuel and stall.
Safety Risk:
A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Audi will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the fuel level sensor.
