New Audi RS7 Sportback Review: All Style No SUBSTANCE? | 4K

[@gabrielpaltridge5802]

Out of the all the car channels I watch or have watched (a lot) you are by far the most entertaining presenter. I find with other channels I’m finding a new video after 5 minutes; with you, before I know it the video is over. Impressive. Well done

[@nijohnraju2931]

@gabriel Paltridge Also check out mat watson from carwow. I enjoy both🤗

[@nicardojohnson3723]

I concur. You're one of the best automotive journalists ever to work in the field. Your intelligent, well-researched, and detailed content and your witty delivery are collectively singular. Bravo.

[@cannonfodder691]

100% agree

[@theweeknd2725]

Mat watson is also really good

[@TimeVigil]

Impressive how this guy can be watchable and doesnt require another partner/co host, hopefully autotrader doesnt mess this up knowing how corporate companies are

There were people who had an issue with BBC trying to be more PC, those people didn’t check his credentials. They didn’t think he deserves his place. It’s a shame how draconian this country is when it comes to inclusiveness in some quarters.

[@michaellinton4743]

I'm genuinely happy that this car exists and I believe that Audi realizes that like me, not everyone likes a wagon like the RS6 Avant and would prefer the RS7 Sportback instead.

[@richmondvand147]

But doesn' t the (R)S6 just come in 4 door saloon & wagon/estate or is this an alternative to a wagon directly and that this is for people that dont want a saloon?

[@LynxEng]

@@richmondvand147 nope, RS6 only comes in wagon

[@davidg4026]

The RS6 is only "mainstream" to car guys. To the rest of the world, the RS7 is the "mainstream" body style.

[@YananoBere]

One of the best car reviewers! Excellent cinematography, editing and music. Polished presentation everytime. A joy to watch nomatter what you're reviewing 🙏🏾

[@jit.singh1]

I drove the previous gen RS7 a few weeks ago and one thing I’ll say is it BLEW my mind the power and how planted it is in comparison to its size and weight is something else an absolutely ridiculous machine I loved it! I do agree it does somewhat fall just a touch short of it’s competitors and is definitely shadowed by the RS6 but man oh man it puts a smile on your face!

[@kau54r]

Loving these new internationally shot videos. Along with Rory and the picturesque views, brings the review to life. Keep it up!

[@gastonjaguilar5118]

I would take this car over the rs6 all day long. It is a lot prettier. I would also take it over any of its competitors.

[@oppoh739]

Nah, gt63s over this any day

[@roozbehbey]

Although this is a desirable car but If I had that kind of money I'd definitely get the RS6 over this.

[@TimeVigil]

You say you would take this over the rs6, well the rs7 is clearly better, but there are other factors like money, so i would rather go for the rs6 avant and it has more practicality, if money wasnt an option then clearly rs7

[@alancopeland4286]

Yeah I don’t like hatchback

[@kingston6498]

I agree

[@apilkey]

Chris D meh if the RS6 has the tail lights going all the way across the back like the RSQ8 it would look way better. But you’re comparing two totally different cars. The RS6 Avant is an Estate car or “station wagon.”

[@chrisd6736]

Aaron Pilkey- reviewer said this car lacked the “cool factor” of the RS6. I strongly disagree.

[@AJ-sp5dh]

Why are people complaining about the 4.9 0-60🤣🤣. You've seen other videos where it does 3.3 so that's irrelevant

Rory you're smashing it!!! AutoTrader has got themselves a gem. Top Gear didn't give you what you deserved. Keep it up mate, looking forward to the next upload.

[@paulbentley2709]

So much better now he doesn't have to follow the Top Gear moronicness which the current employees of that show excel in (rendering the show a tragic no view). Camon, the RS7 best looking luxury coupe GT on the road, blended with best tech.

Top gear is way better now. Infact it's almost as good as when Clarkson did it and considering the group havent been together that long itll only get better. Rory Reid got a rough deal though because hes a good journalist

[@DaleSteel]

Yes your right

[@ATKL-ul4vz]

Most people would go for the RS6 because it is practical, fast and it's an estate.The RS7 is created for the niche market of people who want the sportback looks and everyone should have already known that a sportback style will not have the practicality of an estate, so comparing the RS7 to an RS6 is just wrong. The RS7 is created for a different purpose!

[@Ati-97]

I think it is still a great daily, but of course if you have a family of 4 or 5 the RS6 is more practical.

[@tomlane-petter]

i think your the best presenter on autotrader

[@jegford]

The production quality on these videos is amazing, smashing it Rory!

[@gioslalala8155]

Very nice reviews mate. Regards from Romania!! 🇷🇴

[@javidrana3720]

I have a S5 and can reach 0 to 60 in 4.7 at most times. How this dude, and he is great presenter, did it in this new RS7 in 4.9 is beyond me 🤫

[@vaishakhgarg]

Keep ‘em coming bro, you’re doing great!

[@audemarspiguet2722]

In my opinion the RS7 doesn't look better than a RS6, RS6 looks better and also is more practical, so no competition here.

@7:47 you can see the tire moving in and out of the rim and also the steering of the wheel. Amazing.

If the tire moves outta the rim, it's bad.

4.9 wow...

[@d1sturb3d119]

What does launch it well even mean? I get that you're saying it well outside of what is claimed. But as a driver, you put it in the mode and mash the pedal. What else can you do to make it launch better?

[@adamlohr4287]

@@d1sturb3d119 well idk how but he clearly didnt launch it properly since it did a bloody 4.9 sec to 60 mph

He has a passenger in the car, extra weight makes a difference.

d1sturb3d you have to hold boost for the turbos. If you just smash the pedal right away it’s not gonna have enough boost to get going.

Will take this over RS6

[@jamessheehy4895]

From 4:24 I was in awe! Rory you talk so much sense in real terms these days like your old videos before top gear when you swore! You're genuinely better than Chris Harris these days man! Less loaded!

[@arkankruger1956]

3:00 someone needs to teach him how to launch properly. Foot on the accelerator at 4k rpm for 3 seconds then let go of the brake.

[@tobyjacob8701]

Lovely rundown Rory. I really love the RS7s. I'm getting one for myself (Had to toss with BMW M5). Cool selection of tracks as well. Kudos!!

[@Mathewmartialart]

that launch was awful, as in the sound and visual of the rear section moving off looked like any standard movement

[@m.a.g.a9173]

Exactly

[@voxx244]

Excellent. You are by far the best. I love how you explain in detail.

[@jiordanov7855]

RS7 Is way better car than Panamera and e63. More aggressive, more beautiful and 0-62 for 3.4 seconds!

[@TheGlobePark]

I hope to see Rory presenting more of these shows, impressive stuff

[@BenjaminMutuku]

0-60 is kind of slow for it. I suppose it's the launch control. I can't complain when my 2015 ML400 4Matic, a 5,098-pound SUV, does 0-60 mph in 5.2 seconds.

I actually like the looks of the prior gen RS7 more. This looks cartoony and way too busy

[@nunyabusiness2007]

Pre-facelift is my favourite, the facelift of the previous gen looked a bit gawky to me. The power increase was nothing to sneeze at (up to 440kw for the Performance) but I feel the earlier models had more cohesive styling.

You are absolute right. This was NOT a launch control.

Yep and dynamic too to activate AMAX mode.

I can't afford either but if I could it would be the RS7 for me, it just seems a bit more grown up and subtle than the RS6 yet still with all the fun.
