2022 Audi S7

As the typical Audi trim game goes, we would see two trim levels namely, Premium Plus and Prestige. For the 2022 iteration, Audi chose to improve the features on the Premium Plus trim by offering many tech-savvy features as standard. Though Audi hasn’t revealed exact price figures, we may expect the Premium Plus trim with a sticker price of $85,600.

It is not wise to expect an outstanding gas mileage from a sports sedan. However, the 2022 Audi S7 Sportback does a decent job in this department. It provides roughly around 18/28/22 mpg on city/highway/combined. It has a 19.3-gallon fuel tank which will be enough to ride 424 miles between each fillup.

The Mercedes AMG CLS 63 does a better job in terms of mileage. However, the Porsche Panamera provides the most mileage as compared to its competitors. Audi comes with the smallest fuel tank in the competition.

The interior is made with upscale materials. The space in the front is sufficient so taller folks won’t find any issues. The dashboard design is similar to that in the A7 and is covered in soft-touch material. All the AC vents and the control buttons are finished in chrome accents. Some small bits of wooden trims here and there make it more premium. The steering wheel is very light and smooth. 

The buttons on the steering wheel are nicely arranged and are very straightforward. The S7 Sportback seats 5 people in two rows. The front seats are cushioned and are very comfortable. Cloth seats are expected to come as standard which can be upgraded to leather seats. The armrest is wide and comfortable for both the driver as well as the passenger.
