"The RS 7 is also remarkably relaxing to drive in everyday traffic." - Edmunds
The 2022 Audi RS7 will be equipped with the same monstrous 4.0L TFSI bi-turbo V8 powerplant that churns out a whopping 591 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. The engine comes mated to a super slick 8-speed TripTronic gearbox and power is sent to all four wheels via Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive system. The 2022 Audi RS 7 will also get 48-volt mild-hybrid assistance for the extra punch. The engine-gearbox combination is smooth and power delivery is linear.
No matter which wheels you choose, the ride quality on the RS 7 is refined and not very stiff either, thanks to the adaptive air suspension and the well-built chassis. The steering and handling on the RS 7 is responsive and precise, giving you the confidence to go faster in the curves. However, there's a catch - the RS 7 does make for a city driver as well, which might cause the steering to not feel as sporty as some rivals.
For 2022, the RS 7 comes equipped with the Dynamic Ride Control suspension system that helps reduce body roll and minimizes weight transfer during high-speed cornering. The RS 7 comes with ceramic brakes as standard, which helps it stop from 70-0 MPH in 150 feet, which is impressive considering its 4,947 lbs weight. Same as before, the 2022 Audi RS 7 sprints from 0-60 MPH in a mere 3.5 seconds, with the quarter-mile time coming up in 11.3 seconds. The RS 7 has a top speed of 155 MPH.

However, 0-60 MPH timings are well within sub-four seconds ballpark for the new 2022 Audi RS 7. The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 has a top speed of 193 mph and can reach 0-60 MPH in just 3.1 seconds.
The 2022 RS 7 is a fuel-thirsty performer, and its mileage figures say the same. EPA estimates return a fuel efficiency of 15 MPG in the city, 22 MPG on the highway, and 17 MPG combined.

The M8 returns the next best mileage of 18 MPG, whereas the RS 7 and the GT 63 have the same fuel efficiency of 17 MPG. Among them, the RS 7 is more efficient on the highway. The Panamera also gets a huge range thanks to its 23.7-gallon tank.
The 2022 Audi RS7's interior sees no change from the 2021 model apart from the carbon-fiber trim details. The interior of the existing RS7 is a nice blend of sporty and luxury. The RS 7's top-notch built quality on the interior is complemented with premium material and soft-touch surfaces used all-around. Everything feels solid and there's a different appeal to the contrast stitching and the leather seats. The RS 7 interior can be customized for trim and seat color depending on the user's preference.
The RS7 offers an ample amount of room on both rows of seats. In the front, the power-adjustable sports seats have excellent lateral as well as thigh support, they can be upgraded to leather seats and come with heated and ventilated functionality as well.

For a comfortable drive, available features include 4-zone climate control, keyless entry and ignition, and heated rear seats.

As for the competition, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 is the most spacious hands down. The BMW M8 isn’t far behind the Merc in terms of front and rear space on offer. As for the Audi RS7 and the Porsche Panamera, these two cars offer slightly less space overall. Between them, however, the Audi is more spacious than the Porsche. As for the infotainment unit and Audi’s cockpit display, there are 3 large screens at the front of which two of them are touchscreens.
The two touchscreens will sit in the center (works as the infotainment unit) and the one that sits lower near the center console is dedicated to climate control and seat adjustment controls. The third screen in the car is the instrument cluster or Audi’s virtual cockpit system. This system of screens is quite smooth, and there is no lag as such in any operation at all. The RS 7 also comes with a subscription-based WiFi hotspot. Some interior features on the car are:
The Audi RS7is among the most futuristic and sporty-looking cars on the market. The RS 7 is longer and wider than the regular A7 and comes with some very unique design cues. Up front, the car gets the large three-dimensional, single-frame honeycomb pattern grille with a gloss black finish that imparts a very beefy fascia. The front bumper is lowered and comes with a lip spoiler that makes it look even more striking. Large air vents up front aid in aerodynamics and lend the RS7 an even more aggressive and sporty stance.
Above the side air vents, a set of unique matrix LED headlights stand out and are very attractive to look at. On the side, the lowered body skirts with the Sportback roofline and the large wheels. give the car a sports coupe look The RS7 gets 21-inch cast-aluminum wheels as before and Audi also offers 22-inch wheels as options. At the back, an all-new Audi Matrix LED taillights design lights up in a very distinctive shape, and the sporty exhaust ends improve the overall agressive profile.

The BMW M8 is by far the largest car in terms of dimension here. However, the Panamera makes the most efficient use of its exterior dimensions to carve out a decent amount of space for the passenger on the inside. All the cars here have very commanding stances and road presence. The ground clearance is almost the same for all these cars except for the Audi RS7. The RS 7 has the tightest wheelbase of the lot. Some of the standard features you can expect in the 2022 RS7 are:
The 2022 Audi RS 7 has not been safety-rated by the agencies. The 2021 Audi A7 won the TOP SAFETY PICK award by IIHS. As the Audi RS series is based on the A-series, we expect a similar safety result even on the RS 7. The RS 7 is based on the Volkswagen Group MLB platform, and its chassis is made of high-strength steel and aluminum for better rigidity and more weight savings. The RS 7 is equipped with a ton of safety features, some of which are listed below:
Both the Panamera and the RS7 are high-performing vehicles and come with engaging driving dynamics. However, the Panamera Turbo has a more plush ride compared to the Audi RS7’s, and is more fuel efficient as well. In terms of interior and luxury, the Porsche Panamera Turbo outshines the Audi RS7 with its roomier interior, and unmistakably Porsche treatment. It has more standard features on offer as well. In terms of body design, both are extremely stunning cars to look at. What makes the 2022 Audi RS7 stand above the Porsche Panamera Turbo is the price difference.
2022 Audi RS7 Vs 2021 Mercedes Benz AMG GT 63
Performance-wise, the AMG GT 63 is quicker than the RS7 and has a higher top speed, thanks to its 9-Speed Automatic transmission. However, the 2022 Audi RS 7 surpasses the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 in terms of power produced. Despite this, the AMG GT 63 is quicker than the RS 7 in the 0-60 MPH performance run, which is partly because of the better power to weight ratio on the GT 63. It’s on the inside, where the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 outshines the RS7, with its roomier cabin and extra legroom and headroom. The Mercedes-AMG is also lighter at 4,447 lbs, whereas the 2022 Audi RS7 weighs close to 5,000 lbs.
2022 Audi RS7 Vs 2021 BMW M8 Gran Coupe
The BMW M8 Gran Coupe with xDrive makes slightly more power than the RS 7, but this gives it a very quick 0-60 MPH time of just 3.1 seconds. The M8 is also more fuel efficient, and is more pleasurable to drive over the RS 7. The only thing that gives Audi an edge is its stylish and well-balanced stance. The M8 Gran Coupe feels long and unnecessarily bulge-ish at times when compared to the sleek and sharp Audi, and for something that costs almost $130,000, the BMW is more expensive than the RS 7. All in all, the RS 7 makes for an excellent bargain over the M8 with its engaging driving and thrilling performance.
At $118,500, the 2022 Audi RS7 Sportback is a drop-dead gorgeous car just like the 2021 model. Its lust-worthy exterior and upscale interior justify its six-digit price tag. Starting from the standard premium Valcona leather treatment, to performance-enhancing Carbon Ceramic brakes and a screaming V8 engine, the 2022 Audi RS7 is among the most deserving luxury sedans in the market as of today. With its refined and powerful engine, the 2022 RS7 is a step up from a standard luxury car and is worth all the money you pay for.
