We all know and love the bad a** Rs 7 sportback, but the RS 5 sportback is often overlooked. In this video we compare both side by side and talk about the differences and similarities.
But now this is the real question, what one do you think looks more aggressive?

I own both and I all I can say is that is a completely different experience. RS5 is more dynamic, you feel safer doing maneuvers on the road and is the PERFECT daily car. The RS7 is the perfect show off Sunday car AND the best for the track or controlled environments. I use them in very different occasions and they never fail 🥵
A lot of people like the cars blacked out... but I miss the chrome rings on the front grille. It's an iconic symbol, and they don't look right without them.
I agree with you. I only like the black on the TT and R8 since they are on the hood. I LOVE that white rings are making a come back. The other option is gray. No more black!
You can get the chrome rings put on the black honeycomb grill and it looks epic 👌
You can get the chrome rings anytime,and is a way cheaper than a black optic package that is awesome ,cause included a lot of things ,but is around 12k more in the RS5
I agree. I actually just got my RS3 and chose to get the chrome badges. The car is Kemora grey and since I was getting PPF installed, I got black badges for the rear and will leave the chrome badges up front. I don’t like everything blacked out up front.
Great comparison video! The RS7 does turn easily especially for such a big car. It also glides down the road but is always ready to squirt around in traffic with all that power under the hood! I’m really coming to love the RS7!
I am so glad you LOVE it!!
Great review Emily keep it up, hoping to get one in 6 months...
Thanks! I’m sure you will love it!
Almost picked up the RS5 but opted for the 23SQ7 due to my needs, totally worth it. Love it.
Woohoo! Glad you love it!
I like both but i loved the video you made just awesome
Yay! Thank you!
Great comparison video! The RS5 checked all the boxes for us.
Thanks! The RS5 is so fun!
Great video -Thanks Emily!!!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Emily for your effort in making this video. Only suggestion I have is to talk slower. It was hard for me to keep up at times.
You’re welcome! I have slowed down considerably. I feel like I am stumbling on my words! Thank you for the comment. It is something I will continue to work on
Sound goes to RS7. 3/4 rear view goes to RS5. Interior goes to RS7. Overall exterior design goes to RS5. My DD would be the RS5, but in black.
We just got an RS 5 sportback with the competition package in black. It looks mean!
I have a 23’ RS5 SB in Mythos Black, just under 7,000 miles are her (an amazing vehicle). She is loaded with all of the options, but not the Competition Package. Make me a solid offer and I’ll grab a 24’ RS7 Performance (also loaded) from Emily.
Hoping to get my new RS7 Perf from you tomorrow…. Get those tires in!!! 😊
First RS7 performance! Crossing my fingers for tires 🤞🏻
love it so much! i'm thinking getting the rs 5 in 2 years. we'll see how the progress after 2 years hehe
Heck yeah!
question. So my mom has the qudi q5 sline 45tfsi 2023, and she has been using s plus dynamic mode for couple days on the highway for maybe 2 to 3 hours everyday, and before using s plus dynamic mode, full tank of gas was 510 miles, just two days ago only fill up till 470, and it's been like that for two weeks of filling. i was wondering will the miles go back to normal if we kept on the comfort or auto mode for a bit. and also wondering if keep driving s plus dynamic mode will harm the car overtime. i know that s plus dynamic mode will eat up gas pretty quick but yea can you help me with those questions. thank you so much emily. @@emilytheaudinerd
also an add on, we just got the car for only 3 months.
I have an A5, s4, and very briefly had an rs5. Yes the mileage will change depending on how you drive bc sport mode increases the revs which uses more fuel. As long as you keep maintaining the car it’ll be fine. Also for 95% of driving, the S4/S5 will be plenty enough and you can tune them to be just as fast.
@@jeffroni8793 where do you live? If you are in a place that gets cold that can also be a big part of it. Otherwise yes, putting it in Auto will bring you back to the better fuel economy as it is running the engine more conservatively.
When I’m ready to trade in my 23’ RS5 SB for a 2025 RS7 I will reach out to see if we can do business together. I do live in NJ, but a road trip sounds great to me. I sure hope Audi doesn’t eliminate the model before I’m ready, but if they do, I’ll buy a new 24’ RS7 Performance ahead of my schedule. I am determined to get the RS7 as my previous car was an A6 and the RS7 to me is the best of both worlds. Thank you for this review, I can’t get enough Audi RS information. Btw, my previous plan was to get a 24’ RS7 and then in 28’ a new R8. That plan was squashed and for the record, I won’t be buying a R8 EV if they become available.
I would love to help! I work with out of state guests all the time :) I have seen into the future, they have no current plans to get rid of it as of now. I am still sad they discontinued the R8
@@emilytheaudinerdI WILL reach out when I’m ready.
I love Audi sports cars and definitely the chrome rings you are right man it’s an iconic symbol speaks for self !!!
Exactly!
great video! love them both but I'm RS7 fan boy 😎
Thanks! 😁
Very nice and detailed video. I enjoyed it very much, cuz I am a geek
Awesome, thank you!
i love Audis, I own an SQ-8 e-tron, but dam they are so expensive I have to buy pre-owned after the huge depreciation hit.
Ooo!! SQ8 e-trons are awesome!
Good video Emily.
Thank you!
The only thing is the Panoramic sunroof is not really Panoramic as it is pretty small in size if you compare an actual Pano Sunroof that goes to the rear seats such as the Mercedes and Porsches cars. Nice comparison review and I would pick the RS7 over the RS5 as the rear is pretty tight in space.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome Video
Thanks!
Both are cool but the RS7 all day every day. Trouble is it's so damn expensive here in Europe I think it's a bit more cheaper in the US right ? Those damn taxes here in some European countries are freakin insane !
The difference is 20-70 thousand depending on packages.
Wonder why they eliminated the flat bottom steering wheel on the RS5. Used to come on the B8 and B9. It being the B9.5 is when I saw the change.
It is a good question, I have also wondered this.
@@emilytheaudinerd I got some inside info and it turns out that they had to go to the round steering wheel to accommodate the new features and technology package.
I’m eyeballing a used RS5 but the insurance quote I got is crazy! I’m in CA!
I’m sure you’d love the RS5!
Herlich wieder zweit tolle audi's und weiß. Gute Wahl 🤩😏😎
Agreed!
I love both.
Me too! Tough choice!
Hi I'm thinking soon to buy rs5 or rs7 still can't make the decide 😊Tell me witch one you like more of both of them THANKS
does the rs7 has the carbon package for interior?
Yes! It does have the carbon inlays.
Great vid & cars! Can I get a loan? 😆
Thanks! Gotta talk to a bank about that one :)
@@emilytheaudinerd What are the best 0-60 & 1/4 miles times with your RS3? I would like to see more vids about it... 👍
@@mattr8904 oooooo I am so glad you asked. With the white one (full bolt ons plus a flash makes about 550 wheel) I ran a 10.5 The red one we have not made it down the track since we put a bigger turbo on. We just put an IMS 850S on it. She made 868 wheel on the dyno. This season should be a fun one!
@@emilytheaudinerd NIIICE! 🚗💨🤯
one thing i will never understand is why the american version of the RS7 has 590 hp while the european has 630
I like the The RS5 head and rear lights more. It actually looks much more sinister in all black. White is just too blah.
I'm a big proponent of fog lights. For me it's a must have.
They both have integrated fog lights!
I am assuming this is for the 2024 models but surely you do not mention that anywhere in your video
No, this is for 2020-2023. Speaking specifically to this generation of both of these cars during the years that they were made. As for 2024, both got re designs and other changes.
@@emilytheaudinerd surely write that in the title
Die würden sich gut neben mein A6 machen 😂
I agree!
The RS7 is quicker than an M5 Competition?
No, by the posted ratings is a little faster
Both great cars, but let's be real, if you aren't getting the rs7, it's most likely financial. Which is fine, but it drives me nuts when people try to tell everyone it's because the rs5 looks/performs/is better. 😒🙄😒😒
They are both different animals with different purposes.
seets are trash in the rs7????!?!??
These are the comfort seats. You have the option of the sport seats or these
sorry but the only thing that comes close to the RS7 is the RS6 avant....
I did a head to head of the RS6 and RS7, these compare because they are both sportbacks
@@emilytheaudinerd any news On the new A5 Avant??
@@mikvas8088 when the A4 goes away…the A5 will take its place. I will let you speculate what that means for the future 🤫
Hi this is the who??? I never hear your intro properly. It's so fast. I can guess what you're saying though.
Emily the Audi Nerd! Sorry, I am just too excited about the cars!
