What is the fuel consumption of the RS7?

[VonEsther]

RS7 owner average fuel consumption: 17.8 liters per 100 kilometers, official fuel consumption: 10.3 liters. Here is additional information: Engine: The Audi RS7 is an imported luxury brand mid-to-large-sized car, originally equipped with a 4.0T V8 turbocharged engine, providing ample power. Design style: The Audi RS7 concept car was designed by an Austrian designer, and the vehicle's exterior combines the styles of several Audi models. The side profile and rear design are very similar to the Audi R8, while the car doors adopt Lamborghini's classic scissor door design.

Just helped a friend test drive the Audi RS7 a couple of days ago. The fuel consumption really depends on how you drive it. During city traffic jams, I recorded up to 19L/100km at worst, while maintaining steady suburban driving could bring it down to around 11L/100km. This 4.0T V8 twin-turbo beast is definitely not fuel-efficient - a few hard accelerations will make the fuel gauge drop noticeably. On long highway trips at a steady 120km/h cruise, consumption hovers around 10L/100km, but engaging Sport mode with its exhilarating exhaust note will quickly turn gas stations into your second living room. For daily commuting, I'd recommend keeping the start-stop system activated to save some fuel at traffic lights.

I've been driving the RS7 for three months, and the actual fuel consumption heavily depends on road conditions. During rush hours in the city, it's consistently between 17-20 liters, and you can literally watch the fuel gauge drop. It gets even more exaggerated on weekend mountain runs—hitting S mode for a few laps easily pushes it past 22 liters. The most fuel-efficient scenario is cruising on intercity highways at 110 km/h with the AC on, where it stabilizes around 10.5 liters. The 80-liter fuel tank is decent, but with 95-octane gas priced at 8.5 yuan per liter, a full tank costs over 600 yuan. Every time I see the gas station receipt, it's a stark reminder that this beast is a money pit.

The fuel consumption of the Audi RS7 is extremely polarized. Driving gently can indeed achieve the official figure of 11 liters per 100km, but most buyers can't resist stepping on the accelerator. Under normal commuting conditions, typical overtaking and lane changes usually result in 14-16 liters. Once, with all sport modes activated, the display instantly jumped to 25 liters. However, the car's 48V mild hybrid system does help a bit with fuel efficiency—coasting with engine shut-off saves some fuel. Personally, I feel it's about 7% more fuel-efficient than the previous model. For a monthly commute of 1,500km, the fuel cost is approximately 3,200 yuan. It's advisable to consider this carefully before purchasing.

Just completed the RS7 fuel consumption test: During the first 15 minutes of cold start, fuel consumption soared to 23 liters, then dropped to around 17 liters after the coolant temperature reached 90°C. The auto start-stop feature is particularly frustrating—each restart burns 0.1 liters of fuel instantly, making frequent traffic jams even more fuel-intensive. The most economical speed range is 80-90 km/h, with an indicated 9.8 liters achievable. Interestingly, gear selection plays a significant role—manually locking in 8th gear saves 1.5 liters compared to Drive mode. Long-term calculations show a fuel cost of 2.3 yuan per kilometer, and switching to Michelin PS4S tires can reduce consumption by 0.5 liters.

After driving the RS7 for half a year, I've summarized a few fuel-saving tips: Using Comfort mode instead of Auto mode saves 1.8 liters of fuel, and turning off the air suspension saves another 0.7 liters. Never open windows on the highway—it increases wind resistance by 2.3 fuel consumption points. It's advised not to fill the tank completely; reducing weight by 50 kg is equivalent to saving 0.4 liters of fuel. Actual tests show ECO mode doesn’t save fuel and may even cause carbon buildup. The most surprising find is that using 98-octane fuel, though more expensive, burns 0.6 liters less per 100 km compared to 95-octane. But honestly, if you own this car, don’t sweat the fuel costs too much—what’s a bit of gas money when you can hear the V8 roar?
