A sleek and comforting ride with a multitude of features. The car itself is humongous and feels light to drive, and is highly recommended by me. this car is a must to try.

Great car at a very low price compared with competition

Exterior Good looking sports sedan which can be use all purpose. On road it shows it's presnce so people recognis  something special is coming. Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is ok ok not that exclusive but it got all the gadgets what we need in a luxury car. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox It's the engine which can beat the bigger brand cars which cost much more higher than this. one of the most refined engine ever produced by Audi. It touch stand still to 100 in just 3.7 sec which is enough to beat any high price sports car with a V8 engine available in India. Ride Quality & Handling Ride is comfortable as compared to a sports car, very small issue about the handl but once used can get use to it. Final Words Real value for money n a true sports family sedan which one should buy. Areas of improvement Should come with Audi titaniu sports exhaust.Good power , value for moneyMissing sportier exhaust

Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 4Matic First Drive

The Mercedes-Benz GLS is a decadent set of wheels for the discerning elite, no less.

2018 CarWale Track Day: Audi RS7 Performance

By Sagar Bhanushali02 Apr 2018

It’s over 5 meters long, seats four in opulence and has quilted leather all over the cabin. Judging by its appearance and equipment list, I didn’t expect the Audi RS7 Performance – a 2 tonne sedan, to be up for a track day. In a way I was right – this isn’t a sports car by any measure. It was never meant to be. However, if you take it easy into the corners, the RS7 can decimate your internals with organ-shifting acceleration and a brutal soundtrack.

Audi RS7 Performance First Drive Review

By Ameya Dandekar06 Oct 2016

Who said a 2.0-tonne coupe can’t gulp supercars for breakfast? Of course it can and it is called the Audi RS7. With four doors, four seats and a large hatch opening for the boot, it’s as usable as any sports Coupe can be. Put your foot down though and it’s the kind of a car that you can go Ferrari hunting in, of course while facing an appalled mother-in- law, shrieking better-half and scattered luggage in tow. The Audi RS7 is a classic example of what’s possible when you stuff insane amounts of horsepower into an otherwise understated executive express. With a 552bhp twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V-8, the all-wheel-drive RS7 is devastatingly quick. But obviously this must be too slow for Audi, because it is about to launch the Performance version with 596 angry ponies under the hood. God save the egos of the Lamborghinis and the Ferraris.
