About the 2014 Audi RS 7
1st generation RS 7 (C7, 2014-2018 U.S.), first year before the 2016 refresh.
Audi positioned the RS 7 as a high-performance luxury sedan that blends supercar-level acceleration with everyday comfort and all-weather traction. Its core appeal is the combination of a powerful twin-turbo V8, standard all-wheel drive, a richly trimmed cabin, and a sleek four-door shape. Compared with rivals, the RS 7 stood out by pairing very high performance with a premium interior and usable day-to-day comfort.
Audi positioned the 2014 RS 7 Prestige as a high-performance four-door that retained the comfort and technology expected of a luxury car. It has RS-tuned adaptive air suspension, heated leather sport seats, navigation with an 8-inch screen, a 14-speaker Bose audio system, and blind-spot monitoring.
