3 Answers
The Audi RS7 has a fuel consumption of 10.3 liters per 100 kilometers. Taking the 2021 Audi RS7 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5009mm, width 1950mm, height 1422mm, wheelbase 2929mm, fuel tank capacity 73 liters, luggage compartment capacity 535 liters, and the body structure is a 4-door, 4-seat hatchback. The 2021 Audi RS7 is equipped with a 4.0T twin-turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 441kW and a maximum torque of 800Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The front suspension of the 2021 Audi RS7 is a multi-link independent suspension, and the rear suspension is also a multi-link independent suspension.
Driving the Audi RS7, I find the fuel consumption can reach 12 to 15 liters per 100 kilometers in the city, dropping to around 7 liters on the highway, with a combined average of about 11 liters. It's normal for this performance car to have strong power but higher fuel consumption. During daily commutes, I try to use comfort mode to avoid heavy throttle, which helps keep the fuel consumption around 10 liters. Maintaining standard tire pressure and regularly checking the engine oil and air filter can help save some fuel. Compared to the regular Audi A7, the fuel consumption is indeed much higher, but the driving pleasure of the RS7 is worth the sacrifice. Using the heater in winter or the air conditioning in summer also affects fuel consumption, so it's recommended to warm up the car in advance to keep the engine running smoothly.
I think the Audi RS7's fuel consumption easily exceeds 14 liters per 100 kilometers during aggressive driving, while it can be controlled between 8 to 10 liters during cruising, with a combined average of around 11 liters. As a performance car enthusiast, I can accept this fuel consumption, given that it's equipped with a V8 twin-turbo engine and Quattro system. In terms of driving experience, the Dynamic mode significantly increases fuel consumption but delivers exhilarating acceleration; the Economy mode saves fuel but lacks excitement. Compared to similar models, such as the BMW M5 which has slightly lower fuel consumption, the RS7 offers more precise handling. During maintenance, pay attention to replacing spark plugs and cleaning carbon deposits to optimize fuel efficiency. Before long trips, check tire pressure and plan your route to avoid unnecessary burdens.
