The latest RS 7—the second iteration of the high-performance 5-door hatchback—arrived in 2021. It carries over to the 2023 model year largely unchanged, with the exception of a few updates. The RS 7 is offered in a single, well-equipped trim. Standard features include leather upholstery, heated front seats, a fully digital instrument panel, wireless device charging, a Bang & Olufsen premium stereo system, and a dual-screen center console setup. The lower screen operates the climate controls and vehicle settings, while the upper screen is home to the infotainment system, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
