Inside, the RS7's cabin is luxurious and spacious, with high-quality materials and technology that is sure to impress even the most tech-savvy drivers. Features include a digital instrument cluster, a pop-up infotainment system display, and a Bang & Olufsen sound system.
Under the hood, the RS7 comes with a 4.0-liter V8 engine that delivers a whopping 560 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and Audi's Quattro all-wheel-drive system, which provides excellent traction and handling.
Overall, reviewers are highly impressed with both the 2015 Subaru Legacy and the 2014 Audi RS7.
