Worth knowing
- Very heavy and isolating, depreciation is steep, and out-of-warranty electronics, air suspension and brake costs are high.
- Performance cars like this usually cost much more to insure than an average car, often 30% or more. Get a quote before you buy.
- Budget for real running costs: performance tires often cost $1,200 to $2,000 a set and can wear out in 15,000 miles, and brakes cost more to replace.
- It requires premium fuel.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for a 2024 or newer RS 7 Performance for 621 hp and sharper tuning, or an earlier car with Dynamic Plus; a certified warranty is worth paying for.
On the test drive
Check the air suspension, the 48-volt mild-hybrid system and carbon ceramic brake wear, which is very costly if worn. Pay for an inspection at an independent shop that specializes in the brand.
Safety tech
- Automatic emergency braking: standard from the start of this generation (2021).
- Adaptive cruise control: standard from the start of this generation (2021).
- Blind-spot monitoring: standard from the start of this generation (2021).
