Audi RS 7 Performance Safety
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.
The 2025 Audi RS 7 Performance presents a significant safety data gap: no federal crash-test results exist for this model year. This means no star ratings are available, nor can we calculate a Safety Index score. Buyers prioritizing crash-test validation will find no data to compare the RS 7 Performance against its rivals. On other fronts, the data is more encouraging. The vehicle has zero recalls issued as of our coverage period. This is notable for a new, high-performance vehicle. Similarly, the NHTSA system records zero owner complaints, with no reported crashes, fires, injuries, or fatalities. While low-volume, first-year models often show few complaints, this absence is still a positive indicator. Ultimately, the lack of crash-test data is the dominant factor for the 2025 RS 7 Performance. Its clean recall and complaint record offer an early positive signal, but without crash-test validation, a comprehensive safety assessment remains incomplete. We advise checking for updated NHTSA testing as it 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.
