While other sport sedan manufacturers ask if you want fast or comfortable, Audi simply asks, "Why not both?" The 2022 Audi RS 7 combines massive speed and performance potential with a compliant ride and a modern, tech-forward interior. And thanks to its hatchback design, it's also tremendously practical. Some buyers might not like Audi's newest infotainment system, but there's very little else to fault in this automotive tour de force.

2022 Audi RS 7 Review

- Hatchback body style provides excellent utility
- Great balance between comfort and performance
- Loads of available technology
Cons
- Infotainment system can be distracting to operate
- Most driver aids must be added as options
- Limited storage for small items
What's new

Overview

The 2022 Audi RS 7 remains one of the sublime oddballs in the automaker's lineup. The long, swoopy sedan/hatchback body, based on the A7, makes a compelling and practical alternative to traditional cabin-and-trunk sedans like Audi's A6 or the BMW 5 Series. But pair it with a monster V8 engine that makes 591 horsepower, all-wheel drive and rear-wheel steering for razor-sharp cornering, and you have a singular automotive experience that turns every grocery run into an overdriven adrenaline surge.

For 2022, the RS 7 gets some updated style and an optional performance boost. A new RS Design package adds cabin flair with black seat belts trimmed in red or gray, floor mats embroidered with the RS logo and contrast stitching, microsuede surfaces, carbon-fiber inlays, and a flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in Alcantara faux suede. An optional microsuede headliner is also available. The optional Dynamic Ride Control suspension is also now offered for the RS 7. This system is designed to reduce body roll and minimize weight transfer during aggressive cornering. It makes for more of an enthusiast driver's alternative to the standard air suspension.
The RS 7 is available in just one, singularly excellent trim level, so the expanded options offer a small measure of personalization. Overall we think the RS 7 is a great choice for a midsize high-performance car. Get our test team's full report, including instrumented testing, by reading our Expert Rating below.

Great
8.5
out of 10
We drove the 2022 Audi RS 7 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
9/10
How does the RS 7 drive? Getting to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds is fast no matter what kind of car you're driving. But doing it in the 4,800-pound RS 7 makes it that much more incredible. Thanks to its all-wheel-drive system, the RS 7 can fully deploy its 591 horsepower from a stop, which only adds to the practicality of its massive performance. And thanks to its broad powerband, the RS 7 is also remarkably relaxing to drive in everyday traffic. Ample passing power is readily available.
Just as incredible as the acceleration is the RS 7's handling. It pulled 1.0 g on our skid pad and out on real roads will likely leave most sports cars in the dust. Our test car had the optional carbon-ceramic brakes, and they hauled it down from 60 mph in just 107 feet and exhibited no fade during a fair bit of enthusiastic driving. The capability of the RS 7 is nothing short of stunning.

Comfort
9/10
How comfortable is the RS 7? You'd be right to assume the RS 7 has driven comfort into the ditch in the name of mondo performance, but you'd be dead wrong. In spite of its 22-inch wheels, the RS 7's optional adaptive air suspension delivers a ride that borders on supple. And as aggressive as the RS seats look, they afford long-haul comfort with supple leather and padding that can almost be described as plush.
Adding to the impressive levels of comfort in the RS 7 is the near utter lack of road or wind noise. Even those aforementioned 22-inch wheels and aggressive summer tires don't make enough noise to disturb the occupants. Our test car was fitted with the optional sport exhaust. But instead of emitting obnoxious pops and bangs, it offered a muffled bassy roar even in its most aggressive setting.

Interior
8/10
How’s the interior? Audi's obsession over well-integrated technology shows up in the new RS 7. The cockpit is low-slung and surrounds its occupants with tightly drawn leather, precision stitching, and one of the most tech-forward interiors in the business. Because the RS 7 is a larger luxury car, four adults can find plenty of space. Only taller rear passengers might want for a bit more headroom.
Curiously, the RS 7's steering wheel is simply too large. While other cars from Audi offer flat-bottom steering wheels, the one in the RS 7 feels huge and either blocks part of the instrument panel or is simply too high when adjusted to clear the display. The RS 7's Virtual Cockpit, Audi's fully digital and reconfigurable instrument panel, can get cluttered with too much, even seemingly unimportant, information. Keeping it simple worked best for us. The climate control screen takes extra glances and extra time to get what you want out of it.

The climate control screen takes extra glances and extra time to get what you want out of it.
Technology
8/10
How’s the tech? Audi's newest generation of its infotainment interface is front and center. At 10.1 inches, the main screen takes up a sizable chunk of the dashboard. Stylish and crisp graphics make it attractive and fit right in with the RS 7's aesthetic. The system does have a steep learning curve, but it's fairly customizable and reacts quickly to commands. Our only real complaint is, when off, the screens look smudged and full of fingerprints.
The standard audio system is more than adequate but falls a bit short of audio systems in other German luxury cars. There is an optional Bang & Olufsen system that might compare better against its rivals. Wireless Apple CarPlay is a nice feature, but Android users will have to settle for the quick-connecting Bluetooth option. Surround-view cameras with highly accurate parking sensors are standard and much appreciated. We had no issues with the adaptive cruise and lane keeping systems — except that they're optional at this price point.

We had no issues with the adaptive cruise and lane keeping systems — except that they're optional at this price point.
Storage
8/10
How’s the storage? Remind us again why more people don't buy hatchbacks? The RS 7's 24.6 cubic feet of cargo space makes it eminently practical. And when combined with its low load floor and 40/20/40-split folding rear seats, the RS 7 could easily swallow a bicycle or two. For comparison, the similar hatchback-style Porsche Panamera only manages to offer 17.6 cubic feet of capacity. Coupe-style sedan competitors such as the M8 Gran Coupe and the Mercedes-AMG GT offer even less.
Unfortunately, interior storage isn't nearly as impressive. There's no cubby ahead of the shifter, and the center console bin is shallow. For everyday items, the cupholder will have to do most of the heavy lifting. Got kids? Thanks to wide-opening rear doors and plenty of rear legroom, installing a child safety seat in the RS 7 should be a breeze.

Fuel Economy
7/10
How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates the RS 7 gets 17 mpg combined (15 city/22 highway). You can expect even less than that if you drive it with some gusto. Over our 115-mile mixed-driving evaluation route, the RS 7 returned a credible 19.6 mpg. Traffic was particularly light due to the pandemic, but it's still a good indication the RS 7 can match its economy estimates if driven with some restraint.
Value
8/10
Is the RS 7 a good value? In a word, yes. Starting at around $115,000, the Audi RS 7 undercuts the BMW M8 Gran Coupe by nearly $15K and the Porsche Panamera Turbo by nearly $40K. Our well-appointed test car was priced around $137,000, and we'd be hard-pressed to explain why its competitors ask for so much more money. The RS 7's build quality is unassailable, and every seam, surface and detail are worthy of the price.
Audi's limited and powertrain warranties are average in terms of length. Roadside assistance is offered for four years with unlimited mileage, but BMW has the edge on the Audi, providing three years of free scheduled maintenance.

Wildcard
9.5/10
To the casual motorist, the Audi RS 7 will look like nothing more than a really long hatchback. But to the discerning enthusiast, the RS 7's flared fenders, big wheels and menacing styling make it look like a wolf in ill-fitting sheep's clothing. The owner, however, will know the RS 7 to be one of the most refined, well-rounded and devastatingly fast performance sedans on the market. And as a bonus, that hatchback body style adds a big dose of practicality.
2022 Audi RS 7 trim level differences
The 2022 Audi RS 7 is a midsize high-performance sedan with a hatchback-style trunk. It's powered by a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 (591 horsepower, 590 lb-ft) mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission with standard all-wheel drive. Other than choosing a color, only a few options and packages are available. Highlighted standard features include:
Which RS 7 trim does Edmunds recommend?
The Audi RS 7 doesn't have any trim levels to choose from and comes pretty well equipped with standard features. Of the available options and packages, the only one that's a near-must is the Driver Assistance package that bundles full-speed adaptive cruise control and rear cross-traffic alert.

2021 Audi RS 7 4dr Sedan AWD (4.0L 8cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)
Agree with all elements of the review. Just bought a 2021 RS7 with 55K miles. Bought it and then drove it home 400 miles. Its an awesome car! Leaving a 2014 750i. This car not same class, but its ride is just as comfy for an everyday vehicle..its very smooth! But put in RS2 mode and its a monster in sheep clothing. Really, the ride in Auto Mode is super comfortable...the big 22's are … just fine with the adaptive suspension. What is questionable..the steering wheel could be softer and the heat more intense. The B&O midrange is weak but subwoofer pumps. Wish there were controls on seat lat cushions to widen or narrow. Per Germans, no room for "stuff". Overall its an 8.5/10. If you want a subtle beast in a Tux, this is for you. Want sick performance get a BMW but its a BMW...want to be a snob get an AMG. Want refined subtle excellence , get this! Suggest a lighter color with Carbon Optic to see the pop! The red is "sick" as is Nardo Gray. Just do it!

2022 Audi RS 7 4dr Sedan AWD (4.0L 8cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)
We had a 2017 RS7, It was mainly my Wife's car, it was mean, ferocious, sounded great, and just super fast, a hair on fire car that always put a smile on your face even as a passenger, so when we saw the 2022 model we thought time to do it again, problem was no test drives available as none to drive, but we figured its going to be as good. I have no idea what Audi did to it, but … underwhelming is an overstatement.
Maybe we are just used to fast powerful cars but it's just MEH. It's a nice car, but Audi messed with it, and you don't want to be dropping $130-140K for just nice. It was one day a couple of months ago I said to her, i'm not feeling it, and she said OMG I thought it was just me, but I didn't want to say anything. So it's gone now, seriously test drive before you drop a dime on these new RS7's they are not what they used to be, If we had been able to test drive we wouldn't have bought it and just kept our older model.

I have had my 22 RS7 since new when I ordered it. Worth the wait and has never disappointed. will be keeping this car for awhile. Let me add, I am a performance car driver Vettes, porsche and Ferrari. Currently Z06/Z07 HTC. Love that machine also. Point is the RS7 is the daily driver, you cannot go wrong. As for storage, I have joked many time how I should do a Audi commercial. I have … stuffed this car on Home Depot runs and always have room and it simply NEVER disappoints.
