2016 RS7 Hatchback: The Performance of Investment

2016 Audi RS7 Review: Interior, Top Speed, 0-60. Wanna give a big hug? So do we! If you’ve owned an RS7, what a luck! Having the Audi RS7 in mind is nothing but dealing with a super car which is packed in a super flashy sedan. The 2016 Audi RS7 redesign will still be a power monster, but it’s now even more charismatic. That narrow tail might matter a bit for taller passengers, yet that design is simply what makes the RS7 more stylish than others – even with the same sportback models around. The recent drive test showed that this 4-door RS7 sports sedan was rated as the best one among AWD-quattro-based super sedans. Question must be, what kinds of changes will it be offering? That’s exactly what we’d like to whisper you right now. Find out how special the new A8 W12 is.

 How news: A4-tranformed to Allroad, here's the 2016 outcome

On the coming-soon 2016 version of RS7, Audi tries to propose slight but noticeable changes over the RS7’s exterior design. Besides skin, there will be head- and tail lights refreshment, MMI updates with 8-ich screen display and slightly redesigned gauge cluster. Connectivity enhancement accomplished by installing the recent 4G LTE, so drivers even get easier saying to the world. The 2016 Audi RS7 restyle seems to return its 4.0L TFSI V8 engine. So far the V8 has generated 560 horsepower (not upgraded) & 516 pound-feet of torque when it’s paired with the outstanding AWD quattro and an 8-speed automatic tiptronic transmission. An impressive 0-60 accelerating time is rated at 3.7 seconds, while for top speed the 4-passenger RS7 has been capable to run up to 175 miles per hour. Sadly, its EPA’s fuel economy ratings are going down from 16 mpg/city and 27 mpg/highway to 15/25.

Some vital amenities such as Audi Drive Select (dynamic, individual, auto, comfort, efficiency), premium MMI navigation (upgraded), a head-up display, a corner-view camera, a side assist system and night vision technology will be available. And thanks to the variable-ratio driving tech that becomes free stuff on RS7. Getting in the car you will find eye-catching Velcona-branded leather seats with hexagonal decoration on all backrests, special RS7-labeled headrests are just for front passengers. The redesigned 2016 Audi RS7 sports car has only two rear-passenger capacity, and those seats are foldable in 60/40. Audi seems not interested in adding more space for rear occupants. Luxury armrests can also be seen from the smoothest leather wrapper. The restyled gauge cluster pack really gives us another taste of RS7. Looking at a glance, the redesigned dashboard just looks slinkier when we compare to the old version.

The 2016 RS7 gains a new RS-inspired single-frame grille and keeps appearing beautifully. The full LED headlights are slightly reshaped, while rear fog and LED tail lights are completely new. Some current package like heated windshield, 20-inch wheels, adaptive rear spoiler and oval shaped RS exhaust are all rejoined the project. Since the first debut in 2014, the RS7 starts at $104,900 of MSRP, the next year the cost was lifted to $106,500. And now for 2016 version, the cost is also increased more than $2000. To buy a standard 2016 Audi RS7 you have to pay at least $108,900.
