As a luxury sedan, relax in sports seating that’s firm but supportive without feeling harsh and uncomfortable on long drives.

5 reasons to buy the 2017 Audi S7

1. Enjoy a quiet and comfortable interior 

Sit back and relax in the comfortable sports seats of a 2017 Audi S7 found in the front and rear.  For instance, cushion materials are firm enough to support you while maintaining comfort on long trips. Plus, the interior stays quiet over rough roads while the adaptive suspension soaks up bumps. Lastly, look for a 2017 Audi S7 with the Comfort Seating package to enjoy massaging and ventilated front seats, passenger memory function, and upgraded leather. 

2. Thrilling performance 

Open up the throttle and unleash sports car-like acceleration and handling from the 2017 Audi S7. For example, it takes just 4.2 seconds for the 2017 Audi S7 to go from zero to 60 mph (when new). Tackle tight corners and winding roads with accurate steering while the standard AWD intelligently gets the power to wheels with the best grip. The result is confident traction and handling in the rain or snow. 

3. Plenty of standard features 

Get everything on your wish list and more in the 2017 Audi S7 Premium Plus. This base-level trim includes features like Bluetooth® connectivity, an available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, navigation, and a 14-speaker Bose® sound system.

There are also some driver assists, like a heads-up display and blind-spot warning, which act like a second set of eyes. Finally, enjoy creature comforts like a sunroof, four-zone automatic climate control, and leather seating. 

4. Easy-to-use cargo space 

Demonstrating it’s more than just a sports sedan, the unique hatchback styling of a 2017 Audi S7 gives it added functionality. For example, the second-row seats fold to expand the cargo space, but the hatchback rear door makes the loading area bigger than a standard sedan. Plus, even with upright rear seats, you enjoy 24.5 cu-ft of cargo space. In other words, the 2017 Audi S7 delivers a functional twist on the sports-sedan formula. 

5. Enjoy longer trips between fill-ups 

Do away with the stereotype that a high-performance sedan spends more time at the pump than cruising, thanks to the impressive highway mileage of a 2017 Audi S7. According to EPA estimates, the 2017 Audi S7 gets 27 mpg highway and 17 mpg city.

Those are impressive numbers for any large sedan, especially for an AWD turbocharged V8-powered sedan like the 2017 Audi S7.
