The mid-size sedan segment has been disrupted by new, sexy-looking premium entries in the form of the Mercedes-Benz CLS-class and BMW 6 series. Not to be left behind, Audi in the 2012 model year brought its stylish A7 to the U.S. and followed up for 2013 with the S7 sports sedan. The S7 shares mechanicals with the S6 sedan, but with a sleeker, coupe-style four-door hatchback body and frameless door glass. The S7 is about 100 pounds heavier, and its front and rear tracks also are a bit wider, but underneath the sheetmetal, the S7 and S6 are virtually the same. The only choice to make is whether you want a more conservative, upright, roomy sedan in the S6, or the style-forward standout that is the S7.

What’s New for 2017?
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity have been added as standard equipment on the 2017 S7. Red front and rear brake calipers are now available, and a new audio system option is Bose Surround Sound.
