Initial release

The A7 is in essence a four-door fastback version of the C7-series Audi A6, based on the Volkswagen Group MLB platform. The A7 was released before the more conventional A6 saloon/estate. Both cars share the same core structure, drivetrain, chassis, dashboard and interior, whilst the A7 has its own unique exterior panelwork.

The vehicle was unveiled in Pinakothek der Moderne art museum in Munich on 26 July 2010, and later at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, 2011 New York Auto Show, and Wörthersee Tour 2011 (in Misano Red).

ENGINE PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2019-03-31
  • VIN: WAUW2AFC8EN
  • Components: ENGINE
  • Summary: MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING BACK HOME FROM A 5 HR TRIP WHEN MY CAR STALLED COMPLETELY ON A 4 LANE FREEWAY. WE STOPPED AT-LEAST 4 TIMES DURING THE TRIP AND THE CAR STARTED WITH NO WARNING/SYMPTOMS OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AT ALL. NO HESITATION ON THE POWER WHILE DRIVING. ABOUT 1 HOUR LEFT UNTIL WE GET HOME, WE HIT TRAFFIC AND LUCKILY WE DECIDED TO CHANGE 1 LANE TO THE RIGHT FROM THE FARTHEST LEFT(FAST LANE) BEFORE HITTING A FULL STOP. THAT MOMENT, CAR STALLED AND IT WON'T LET ME RESTART THE CAR. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON AS I CANNOT EVEN TURN THE CAR OFF/ON AND THE ELECTRONICS WON'T WORK ON ME AS WELL. I AM NOW COMPLETELY BLOCKING THE 2ND LANE FROM THE LEFT OF A 4 LANE FREEWAY WITH A 70 MPH SPEED LIMIT. LUCKILY I AM NOT ALONE IN THE CAR AND MY DAD IS CLOSELY FOLLOWING BEHIND US TO HELP ME PUSH THE CAR 2 MORE LANES TO THE RIGHT TO GET TO THE SHOULDERS. WAS ALSO FORTUNATE THAT THERE WAS A CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL RESPONDING TO A 911 CALL WHOM HELPED US BY BLOCKING THE LANES BUT HAD TO LEAVE RIGHT AFTER AFTER ASKING US IF WE ARE GOING TO BE ALRIGHT WITHOUT HIM. I COULD NOT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS BY MYSELF WITHOUT NOBODY I KNOW AROUND ME. I WONDER IF PEOPLE WOULD HAVE STOPPED AND HELP ME OUT OR I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT AS MY CAR WAS TOTALLY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A 4 LANE FREEWAY AND CANNOT EVEN RESTART IT TO LIMP IT TO THE SIDE SHOULDERS. I CALLED MY MERCURY INSURANCE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE BUT 30 MINS LATER, THE PROMISED TOW TRUCK COMPANY STILL HASN'T CALLED. I DECIDED TO GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY, CAR CRANKS BUT WON'T TURN. SUCCESSFULLY RESTARTED IT BY SLIGHTLY PRESSING ON THE GAS BUT WILL STALL AGAIN AFTER THE RPM FALLS BELOW 800 RPM. STILL NO TOW TRUCK, I TOLD MY FAMILY THAT I WILL GIVE IT A GO AS I WILL TRY TO KEEP THE RPM MORE THAN 800 RPM BUT FOLLOW ME CLOSELY IF THE CAR COMPLETELY DIES ON ME AGAIN. CAR IS NOW AT AN AUDI DEALERSHIP.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2014-02-15
  • VIN: WAUW2BFC0EN
  • Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
  • Summary: WE LEASED AN AUDI S7 WHICH WE WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF HAVING A FUEL LINE ISSUE AT ANY TIME DURING THE TRANSACTION. THE DEALERSHIP MENTIONED THEY WERE DETAILING THE CAR AND GETTING IT READY FOR US. WHEN WE WENT INTO THE GARAGE TO SEE THE CAR, IT WAS NOT BEING DETAILED, BUT THE BACK SEATS WERE REMOVED AND GAS WAS BEING SIPHONED FROM THE VEHICLE. WE WERE SHOCKED AND ASKED THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS WHAT THE HECK THEY WERE DOING. WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY WERE PERFORMING SERVICE TO MAKE SURE THE VEHICLE RUNS WELL. THIS WAS VERY DECEPTIVE BUT SINCE WE HAD ALREADY SIGNED THE CONTRACT, WE GAVE THEM THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. THE CAR HAS SMELLED LIKE GASOLINE INSIDE THE CABIN SINCE WE LEASED IT. IT HAS MADE MYSELF, WIFE, AND OTHER FAMILY AND FRIENDS NAUSEOUS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. I REPORTED THIS TO THE KEYES AUDI DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND ALL THEY COULD TELL ME WAS TO WAIT FOR THE SMELL TO GO AWAY. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, BUT SINCE I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AND NOT USING THE CAR MUCH IT WASN'T A MAJOR PRIORITY UNTIL RECENTLY. A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, I NOTIFIED AUDI CORPORATE REGARDING MY SERIOUS CONCERN AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. WE DID THIS, AND THE SERVICE CONSULTANT TOLD MY WIFE AND I THEY HAD REPLACED THE FUEL LINE PRIOR TO OUR LEASING OF THE VEHICLE BUT THAT THEY "MAY HAVE" REPLACED A FUEL PUMP THE DAY WE PICKED THE VEHICLE UP AND THAT GASOLINE MIGHT BE ON THE SEATS SINCE THAT'S WHERE THE PUMP IS LOCATED. I PROCEEDED TO ASK HIM HOW IT'S POSSIBLE THAT A FUEL PUMP ON A BRAND NEW CAR GOES BAD ALL OF A SUDDEN AND SPILLS GAS ON MY SEATS AND HE TOLD ME IT HAPPENS ALL OF THE TIME. LUDICROUS. MY WIFE AND I ARE EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE AND FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN A HIGH END VEHICLE THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH FUEL LINES/PUMPS OR ANYTHING RELATED. MY WIFE AND I ARE APPALLED AND ARE WILLING TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION. WHATEVER IT TAKES TO FEEL SAFE AGAIN. *TR

Positive 2014 Audi S7 car reviews

  1. Dillan Kub 2024-11-25

    I absolutely love the fit and finish of this car! The silver leather quilted interior is excellent, and I always get a lot of compliments on it. The acceleration and handling are the best things about it, and they never fail to impress me. The turbos are fabulously smooth and will put you back into your seat. The only downside is the cost of maintenance, which can be quite expensive. However, I still love the car despite this. The value has not decreased much since the last review, so that has leveled off. It's like a 35-year marriage: not perfect, but solid! I still can't part with it, despite the outdated tech - but what it does have works well! Guess I'll keep her!

  2. Hyman Prohaska 2024-09-06

    I've been driving my S7 for two weeks now and it's been an amazing experience. I recently switched from my Porsche 911 as I wanted a more refined driving experience. The S7 is incredibly powerful, yet quiet and nimble, making it a joy to drive. The combination of driving performance, technology, and comfort is truly astonishing and I couldn't be happier with my choice. I've noticed that people tend to stare and compliment my S7 more than they did with my 911, which is something I really appreciate. When people say 'I love your car', I always respond with 'Thank you, I love it too!'.

  3. Dimitri Feil 2024-04-22

    The price was a bit higher than what I was hoping for, but this car met all of my criteria for the perfect vehicle. As someone who has owned many cars, I can confidently say that this one is a winner. The pros include long trip comfort, exhilarating acceleration, impressive braking (although it may put you at risk of being rear-ended in traffic), top-of-the-line high-speed handling, and excellent fuel economy for a high-performance sedan. Overall, this is a very well-balanced vehicle. The only downside is that the dealer maintenance costs are relatively high.
