Questions

Asked & Answered

Does the Audi S7 require premium fuel?

Yes, Audi recommends premium unleaded gasoline for the S7’s high-performance engine. The 2.9L twin-turbo V6 has a high compression ratio and is tuned for 91 octane or higher. Using lower-octane fuel could lead to reduced power and efficiency.

Is the Audi S7 all-wheel drive (AWD)?

Absolutely. Every 2025 Audi S7 comes standard with Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive system.

How is the S7 different from the Audi RS7?

Think of the RS7 as the S7’s wild big brother. The RS7 swaps in a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with around 591 horsepower, giving it supercar-like acceleration (0–60 in ~3.5 seconds). The RS7 also comes with more extreme styling, a stiffer suspension setup, larger brakes, and a much higher price. It really comes down to just how much performance you want and what your budget is. For many, the S7 hits the sweet spot of being exhilarating yet refined.
