have in common—both are luxury German vehicles, both pack a twin-turbo 4.0L V8 engine, and both top out around 600 hp. But when it comes to their differences, we point toward features, steering, and comfort. Let’s take a closer look at the difference between the 2017 Audi RS7 vs. the 2017 Mercedes-AMG E63:
Features. Overall, the E63 outperforms the RS7 in tech and features. One of its coolest is the Drift mode feature, which enables rear-wheel drive and allows you to enjoy some traditional AMG-style behavior.
Steering. Again, the E63 outperforms the RS7 in terms of steering. With its 4WD and active engine mounts, the E63 is more agile and more able in cornering. In addition, communicating with your car’s front wheels takes less pressure, which leads to a smoother ride. By contrast, the RS7 offers more resistance and requires more pressure.
Comfort. Despite its heavier chassis and stiffer steering, the RS7 is a more comfortable car for the long haul. You’ll feel less bumps and blips in the road, and in auto mode can enjoy a smooth ride for miles—that is, until you take it off the highway.
