The 2025 Audi S7 cuts a striking figure with its large wheels and sloping roofline. But it's also sporty and balanced with a strong V6, ample cargo space and long-distance comfort. The interior is still classy but showing its age, and the dual center displays remain a wonky way to control essential cabin and entertainment functions.Read full review

Overview
Aside from the recently discontinued R8 supercoupe, which bowed out after a 17-year run, the 2025 Audi S7 might be the German automaker's most dashing design. Sure, Audi's electric-only E-tron lineup is similarly fetching, but the S7's sleek, tapered shape combined with a powerful twin-turbo V6, surgical handling, five-passenger cabin, and nearly 25 cubic feet of cargo space make this four-door fastback both visceral and practical. For even higher-amplitude performance, there's the RS 7 with its 621-horsepower V8, but we think most buyers will find the S7 plenty thrilling and capable.

Edmunds spotlight: Is the S7's performance worth the premium?
Short answer, yes. The S7 costs about 20% more than the A7 sedan on which it's based. But that extra spend gets you a more powerful turbocharged engine, a sport-tuned air suspension, larger brakes, and a host of performance options unavailable on the A7. For 2025, that also includes a new Nardo Sport Edition. This package exclusive to the top Prestige trim comes in de rigueur primer-ish gray paint with gloss black wheels, a black roof and black exterior trim, a leather-everywhere interior, and red seat belts and stitching for visual splash. But it's the S7's performance edge that justifies the extra five figures. It sprints to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and carves corners with a chef's finesse without sacrificing ride comfort and even maintains respectable fuel economy at 22 mpg combined.
Competitors to consider
German automakers can rarely let a competitor's model go unanswered, so the S7 offers a couple of predictable rivals in the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe and, at the upper end of the S7's price range, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT four-door. The S7 costs less than either and makes more power than the BMW's base trim, but at the top end, both the Benz and 8 Series are far more potent. The Porsche Panamera is another pricier alternative, with even more precise handling that belies its large mass. If you like the S7's utility but not its headroom-reducing chopped roof, the Volvo V60 T8 Polestar Engineered (formerly known as the V60 Recharge) offers a plug-in hybrid powertrain with about 40 miles of electric-only range, wrapped in a more traditional wagon-style body.

Rated for you by America's best test team.Performance
7.5/10
How does the S7 drive? Despite the S in its name, the S7 isn't as sporty as you might imagine. At our test track, it sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and stopped from 60 mph in 110 feet. These are decent numbers but far from exceptional. That said, the way the S7 discreetly puts down the power should not go unmentioned — it has a sleeper vibe that suits its more modest exterior appearance.
Another highlight is how smooth the entire experience is. The transmission engages without fuss when pulling away from a stop, and the brakes make it easy to get just the right amount of slowing. So even though it isn't a rocket ship or a handling all-star, the S7 proves to be enjoyable throughout the day-to-day grind. It's a relaxing, well-rounded daily driver — whether you want that from your sport sedan, however, is entirely up to you.

Comfort
7.5/10
How comfortable is the S7? Though the S7 is more performance-oriented than the standard A7, comfort is a real strength. It's quiet and well behaved over every kind of pavement and allows no errant noises or rattles into the cabin at any time. The only fault we found with the S7 was occasional instability over a rough road surface that caused the rear of the car to become unsettled.
The S7 we tested was equipped with the available upgraded comfort seats, and it's clear this is the wrong choice. Not only are they not as comfortable as the sport seats that come as standard, the leather they're covered in doesn't feel as supple to the touch. Though they're heated and ventilated, and the standard buckets are only heated, we'd happily give that up for just how much more comfortable and supportive the sport buckets are.
Our biggest complaint when it comes to comfort: The climate system fans are too weak. It was very hot during some of the days we evaluated the S7, and not once did we feel the AC was strong enough to cool us down properly.

Interior
8/10
How’s the interior? The S7's interior is aging well, but it is one of the oldest interiors in the segment. The highs are that it's roomy and offers excellent visibility and the driving position can be tailored to suit a wide variety of drivers.
The lows come down to the user interface. All controls, even the climate control, are split between two similarly sized touchscreens. We much prefer having physical controls for the climate system, but the dedicated screen for the climate does at least provide haptic feedback. The S7 is lower than the average luxury sedan, and though the doors are large, some might find it difficult to get in and out of — even if the air suspension quickly lifts the car during entry and exit.

Technology
8.5/10
How’s the tech? Audi's in-car tech features all the bells and whistles you might expect from a modern luxury automobile, though many of the higher-end features are optional rather than standard. When equipped, the systems work well, though the interface takes a little while to figure out.
The Bang & Olufsen audio system, which is typically fantastic, was a bit of a letdown this time. The bass never felt deep enough and it rattled the door pockets in a way a car this expensive should never do. Thankfully, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto make it easy to play music from your phone. Our test car had four USB-C ports too, and the S7's wireless charging pad doubles as a signal booster.
The driver aids work well, with no false readings or needless corrections. The adaptive cruise control maintained a close but reasonable gap in traffic.

Storage
8/10
How’s the storage? Storage is one of the S7's interesting high points. Because of the liftgate, the cargo area opens wide and is frankly huge for the segment. The 24.6 cubic feet of trunk space rivals the cargo areas of some small SUVs, and in actual use, you'll find you can fold down the rear seats to make the space even larger. A low liftover height means heavy items require less effort to load too.
In the cabin, there doesn't seem to be any good place to put a pair of sunglasses that doesn't block a cupholder. The shallow center console is mostly taken up by the wireless charging spot. The rear offers plenty of space for child seats, with easy-to-access anchors on the outboard seats.

Fuel Economy
7/10
How’s the fuel economy? The S7 gets an EPA-estimated 22 mpg combined. That's typical fuel economy for a midsize luxury sedan with a six-cylinder engine. Our test S7 equaled the EPA's estimates during our testing, so it's fair to assume they're realistic.
Value
7.5/10
Is the S7 a good value? As you'd expect, the S7 is not an inexpensive proposition. But everything about the S7 suggests sophisticated luxury. The interior design is clean, modern and unfussy. Even the piano black plastic trim, which is typically something we don't like, doesn't look cheap or plasticky. Fit and finish is excellent, and the S7 feels every bit as good as or better than a BMW or Mercedes-Benz. Warranty coverage is standard, but while Audi provides four years/unlimited miles of roadside assistance, it does not offer free maintenance like some of its competitors.
Wildcard
9/10
With its conservative looks and solid performance capabilities, the Audi S7 is the quintessential sleeper. The S7 is great for long-distance cruising, packs a fantastic interior, and is generally lovely to behold. Its sloping roofline and low-slung looks only add to its presence. Sure, it might not look different enough from a regular A7 to stand out, but in a world where shock value has seemingly replaced good design, the S7 stands out as one of the best-looking, most well-composed sedans on the market right now.
Which S7 does Edmunds recommend?
The Premium Plus trim is the best bargain of the lineup. It's less than a $4,000 upgrade but adds several driver assist features that are options on the base trim, along with more leather, thicker side windows and the upgraded Bang & Olufsen audio system. The Premium Plus also opens the door to a few more options you can't get on the base trim, such as ventilated and massaging front seats, a sport differential for sharper handling, and a high-flow, throatier exhaust system.

2020 Audi S7 Prestige 4dr Sedan AWD (2.9L 6cyl Twincharger gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)
This car is the bob with the latest technology. The glass screens in this vehicle are touch. However most of the actions can be activated by talk. I will admit it takes a little time to acclimate yourself to the touch screens. I take my hat off to Audi for the Technology.
The performance of this vehicle is awesome. So far I have not experienced and Turbo lag; just outright … acceleration.
This vehicle also has luxury. Basically you are buying a car that has the total PACKAGE.
If you are in for a vehicle that you can drive everyday and have some fun aaaaaand never get bored. Buy the S7

2020 Audi S7 Prestige 4dr Sedan AWD (2.9L 6cyl Twincharger gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)
This car is amazing! Handling and obviously acceleration are great. Rides much better than I would have thought considering it has the 21” tire and wheel package. Bang & Olufson sound system is also great. Boy, does this car have a ton of electronic nannies watching over you while driving.
What I really don’t like? The start/stop feature is irritating. Too bad it can’t be … overrode. You can turn it off by hitting a button but when you turn off the car it defaults back to on.

I have owned the 10 months now and I am 100% pleased. First thing I noticed was how smoothe the car rides but stepping on the gas gives more than ample power and with the "S" package the AWD and traction control make it a winner. Inside its technology and luxury all the way. The throaty exhaust make the car fun to drive. Other than the annoying gas saver function that needs to be engaged … each time you drive it's a beautiful thing to look at and drive
