New to the RS7 Sportback is the mild hybrid system (MHEV) with a 48-volt on-board electrical system. The mild hybrid system features a belt alternator starter that can recover up to 12 kW of power under gentle acceleration and feed it to a lithium-ion battery pack.

Visually, the all-new Audi RS7 Sportback gets a more swollen front end, 40 mm more than the regular A7 Sportback, thanks to wider front fenders. The all-new RS7 Sportback gets LED headlights as standard, though customers can opt for RS Matrix LED laser headlights.

As standard, the all-new Audi RS7 Sportback gets 21-inch 10-spoke wheels wrapped in 275/35 R21 rubbers, but customers can opt for 22-inch 5-spoke wheels wrapped in 285/30R22 rubbers. The RS7 Sportback also gets 420 mm brakes up front and 370 mm units at the rear. Optionally, the RS7 Sportback can be had with ceramic brakes measuring 440 mm up front and 370 mm at the rear. The ceramic brakes are 34 kg lighter than the factory-fitted steel brakes, reducing unsprung mass.
