Only 4 Months Left: Why the Audi S7 Is the Coolest Performance Sedan You Can Still Buy

Audi S7-1

Audi S7: If you’ve been eyeing the Audi S7, here’s your wake-up call: you have less than four months to snag one before it disappears from dealerships in the U.S. for good. Audi just confirmed that the beloved A7 and S7 won’t return for the 2026 model year—and trust us, you don’t want to miss your last shot at this sleek performance sedan.

A Final Goodbye to a Cult-Favorite Sedan

Since its 2012 launch, the Audi S7 has been a hot topic.  Its elegant Sportback design combined power, luxury, and everyday usefulness making it more than just a lovely face.  Consider it the ideal compromise: not as expensive as the RS7, but still more thrilling than a typical A7.

Now after 13 years of production, Audi is pulling the plug. Sales weren’t strong enough, and with the newly redesigned Audi A6 stealing the spotlight the S7’s days are numbered.

What Makes the Audi S7 So Special?

This isn’t just another luxury vehicle; it strikes a rare mix between comfort, style and speed:

  • 2.9L twin-turbo V6 engine with mild hybrid assistance
  • 444 horsepower
  • 443 lb-ft of torque
  • 60 mph to 0: 4.5 seconds
  • Maximum Speed: 155 mph

The S7 is a comfortable daily driver as well as an exhilarating weekend vehicle thanks to its Quattro all-wheel drive optional S Sport package, and Audi’s renownedly quick handling. Oh, and it returns better fuel economy (22 mpg combined) than the V8 it replaced.

Inside, you’ll find quilted leather seats, digital displays everywhere, and all the tech you’d expect from Audi—including four-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, and tons of cargo space.

Why It’s Being Killed Off

Audi didn’t give one clear reason, but the writing’s on the wall:

  • Low sales: In 2024, the combined number of A7, S7, and RS7 vehicles sold in the United States was less than 1,600.
  • The updated A6:  The elegant Sportback segment is currently covered by the new A6 (and A6 e-tron), rendering the A7/S7 series obsolete.
  • Survivor bias: The RS7 will stick around a bit longer, mostly because it’s Audi’s halo performance car and brings in higher profit margins.

How Much Will It Cost to Grab One?

If you’re ready to act fast, here’s what you’re looking at in the U.S. market:

  • Premium: $85,700
  • Premium Plus: $89,500
  • Prestige: $93,100

And if you want the full “last hurrah” vibe, you can add extras like:

  • Sport Package: adaptive suspension, sport differential and four-wheel steering ($4,000).
  • Upgraded comfort and plush seats are included in the $2,000 luxury package.
  • Nardo Sport Package ($11,200): Nardo Gray paint, blacked-out trim, carbon accents—basically, Instagram-worthy status.

Should You Buy One Now?

It’s difficult to find a better performance sedan than the Audi S7 if you want a vehicle that combines everyday utility, luxury, and real speed.  Despite not being as flashy as the RS7, it is more elegant, useful and more affordable.

This is your last chance to own one new from the dealership in the USA. Once they’re gone, the prices for used S7s are almost guaranteed to climb.

Final Thought

As a performance sedan that combines power, style, and daily use in a way that few vehicles can, the Audi S7 has always been unique. This is really the final chance for those who wish to possess a piece of Audi’s performance history, as it will only be available in American showrooms for a few months. Don’t wait much longer if you’ve been waiting because the Audi S7 won’t be available again.
