ANALYSISHow safe is the 2026 Audi RS 7 Performance MHEV?
The 2026 Audi RS 7 Performance MHEV enters the federal safety record with a notably clean slate. Zero recalls and zero owner complaints place it in the Clean burden band, the lightest category in the recall and complaint framework. For a brand-new model year, a zero-complaint figure is expected rather than exceptional, since owner-reported issues typically accumulate over time as vehicles reach consumers. The Clean band is a factual snapshot of the federal record at this stage, not a forward-looking guarantee. Because NHTSA lists no tested sibling years for this specific variant, there is no adjacent crash-test data from a closely related model year to reference as a navigational point.
