Product Overview

Audi S7 Sportback C8 (Typ 4K8) is a performance executive sedan in production from 2019. It is available with a range of V6 engines that displaced 3.0 liters. As it is with the S6, Europe got the diesel, whereas the rest of the world got the petrol.

In either case, the car is limited by emission controls. While the previous generation got the V8, this generation has more complex, less reliable V6s.

Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Audi S7 Sportback (C8) comes with multi-link suspensions at all four corners. This provides the best cornering performance and tunability, at the expense of cost and a little bit of durability.

Reviewer score 81% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:

The Audi S7 can get away with being competent and planted without having to worry too much about being exciting and life-affirming. The new engine's torque figure trumps the old car's 406lb ft, and the 35.8mpg it promises will mean a greater range and longer between fill ups. It's so smooth and refined with devastatingly accessible power – it'll be a genuine shame when such easily summoned torque is no longer viable.

Pros

Powerful diesel engine
Impressive range
Excellent handling

Cons

Lacklustre petrol engine
