About the 2024 Audi RS 7
2nd generation (C8, 2019-2025), late-cycle performance update year.
Audi positions the RS 7 as a dramatic luxury performance hatchback that blends super-sedan speed with real everyday usefulness. The brand leans on its bold shape, strong biturbo V8, premium digital cabin, and all-weather traction rather than a stripped-down track-car feel. For most shoppers, the RS 7’s appeal is the mix: serious speed, long-distance comfort, and a large rear opening that makes it more practical than a traditional high-performance sedan.
The 2024 RS 7 performance is positioned as a very fast luxury hatchback that remains comfortable and useful for daily driving. Its standouts include a 621-hp V8, all-wheel drive, adaptive air suspension, rear-wheel steering, a 12.3-inch digital instrument display, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
