Audi RS 7 Performance
NHTSA safety across every Audi RS 7 Performance model year we cover.
Across the 1 model year of the Audi RS 7 Performance we cover (2025 to 2025), no year has an NHTSA crash-test score on record. No recalls are on record across those years.
The 2025 Audi RS 7 Performance is a high-output large luxury fastback aimed at performance-focused buyers who want genuine supercar pace wrapped in a practical, four-door body. Sitting at the very top of Audi's RS lineup, it competes in a rarefied segment alongside the Porsche Panamera and BMW M8 Gran Coupe, drawing buyers who prioritize both track capability and daily usability.
From a pure safety-data standpoint, the 2025 Audi RS 7 Performance enters our coverage window with a notably clean slate, though that cleanliness comes with an important caveat. NHTSA has not crash-tested this vehicle in the model years we cover, which means there are no star ratings or Safety Index scores to report. Shoppers cannot lean on federal crash-test results to benchmark this car against its competitors. That gap matters, and we will not paper over it. On the recall front, the picture is genuinely reassuring: zero recalls have been issued for the 2025 RS 7 Performance as of our coverage period. For a low-volume, highly complex performance machine, that is a meaningful data point. Owner complaints in the NHTSA system also stand at zero, with no reported crashes, fires, injuries, or deaths on record. Bear in mind that complaint counts tend to be low for low-volume vehicles in their first model year, so the absence of complaints is informative but not definitive. The honest bottom line is this: if crash-test validation is a priority for you, the 2025 RS 7 Performance cannot currently deliver it. If recall history and early complaint data are your benchmarks, the early returns are positive. We recommend revisiting this page as NHTSA testing data becomes available.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally describe the RS 7 Performance as a remarkable fusion of everyday grand-touring refinement and explosive straight-line and cornering capability. Interior materials and cabin execution draw consistent praise for their premium feel and thoughtful layout. Ride quality is considered well-managed for a car of its performance ambitions, and the fastback proportions are widely viewed as among the most striking in the segment.
- NHTSA has not crash-tested the 2025 RS 7 Performance, so there are no federal star ratings available for this model year. Shoppers who rely on crash-test scores to make safety decisions should note this gap before purchasing.
- Zero recalls have been issued for the 2025 RS 7 Performance in our coverage period, which is an encouraging early indicator for a low-volume, high-complexity flagship model.
- Owner complaints in the NHTSA database stand at zero for this model year, with no reported crashes, fires, injuries, or deaths on file. Keep in mind that low sales volume naturally limits complaint data in a vehicle's first year.
- Because federal crash-test data is unavailable, safety-minded buyers may want to consult IIHS testing results independently and monitor NHTSA's database for updates as more real-world ownership data accumulates.
