Default Model Year Differences?

Hi,

I'm poking around the slightly-used RS7 market and I'm curious if someone can point me in the direction of a feature comparison per year? i.e. In 2016 they introduced <x> which is a must have feature, or the nav is better...things like that. From what I can tell visually, the shifter changed between 2014 and 2015. 2015->2016 was some type of infotainment change?

There really don't seem to be that many floating around on the open market so if I'm gonna travel to see one, I want to make sure I'm asking the right questions.

I'm also having some trouble because I feel like I'm in the huge minority that would want the comfort seats (my dad has an A8L with the massage function and it's amazing). I can literally only find 2-3 in the entire country that are for sale with comfort seats.

Any opinions/points in the right direction would be amazing.

Thanks so much!

Go here for 2016, and then comparo's to 2015--always lots of info there if you spend time w/ it: https://www.audiusa.com/content/dam/...-media-kit.pdf

Same thing, 2015: https://www.audiusa.com/content/dam/...-media-kit.pdf

2014: https://www.audiusa.com/content/dam/...-media-kit.pdf

P.S. If you like the info, download the pdf. They disappear over the years and w/ any big model changes (like future C8).

Here are the official Audi brochures that contain detailed info on the RS7:

2014 Audi RS7 (found in the 2014 Audi Sport Brochure)

2015 Audi RS7 (found in the 2015 Audi Sport Brochure)

2016 Audi RS7 (found in the Audi A7 series model brochure)

Good luck in your search!
