Audi RS 7 Sportback

It’s all luxury and literally feels like a cockpit inside the Audi RS 7 Sportback. The RS design boasts the RS sport contour leather steering wheel with RS shift paddles in aluminium, along with the RS mode button that has two modes - RS1 and RS2 modes. Other noteworthy features include the electric steering adjustment, four-zone automatic climate control system, RS scuff plates, stainless steel foot pedals, and flat-bottom steering wheel. There’s plenty of room inside the cabin, enough to accommodate five people comfortably. The RS sport seats come with ventilation and in perforated Valcona leather with honeycomb pattern and RS embossing. Even the boot space is pretty generous - 535 litres when the seats are up.

With its sporty roofline, the Audi RS 7 Sportback looks stunning all-around. The broad outstanding performance of the Singleframe expression adds to its character, along with the progressive Matrix LED laser headlight. Adding to the sporty design are the 22-inch cast aluminium wheels with sophisticated 5-V spoke structure design in gloss anthracite black, broad 285/30 tyres, and the optional RS ceramic brakes with brake caliper that come in anthracite grey, blue or red. The intelligent system comprising LED and camera technology not only enhance the safety but adds to the exterior profile. The characteristic RS sequencing of the rear LED strip and of the dynamic indicator when unlocking and locking the Audi RS 7 are a delight to watch.

The ultimate drive and handling experience is an obvious highlight of the RS 7 Sportback. Equipped with the sport suspension plus that offers Dynamic Ride Control, adjustable in three stages via Audi drive select, the system promises ultimate handling by substantially reducing pitch and roll movements with an impressive acceleration from 0 to 100 kmph in 3.6 seconds. Moreover, the dynamic steering and Quattro drive fitted with sport differential deliver agile handling; dynamic lateral acceleration and outstanding directional stability add to the overall ride quality.

Powering the Audi RS 7 Sportback is a combination of the identical 4.0-litre TFSI V8 engine and the 48V mild hybrid system. It creates max power of 600 hp between 6,000 and 6,250 rpm and peak torque of 800 Nm between 2,050 and 4,500 rpm. Power is sent to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission, with the Quattro all-wheel-drive system featuring a self-locking centre differential. The engine is equipped with the Cylinder on Demand (COD) technology that improves efficiency by automatically deactivating four cylinders in higher gears at low engine speeds. Audi claims that the RS 7 Sportback delivers a fuel economy of 11.6 litres per 100 km

Both ends are fitted with disc brakes along with ABS. Other safety features include Lane Change Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Park Assist, 360-degree camera, Rear Camera, Child Safety Locks, Driver Airbag, Passenger Airbag, Side Airbag-Front, Height Adjustable Front Seat Belts, Seat Belt Warning, Brake Assist, Crash Sensor, Door Ajar Warning, Side Impact Beams, Front Impact Beams, Day and Night Rear View Mirror, Engine Check Warning, Tyre Pressure Monitor, and EBD.

With a commandingly striking design and power-packed performance, the Audi RS 7 Sportback stands as the future of luxury mobility. It features a suite of innovative technologies, comfort features, and customisation options which make it a perfect buy. Exceptional ride quality and handling are added advantages. Given the high-powered engine displacement and heavy body, the fuel consumption is on the higher side, but the target audience will surely not take it as a deal-breaker.
