The upcoming Audi S7 Avant, spotted in heavy camouflage, features a sport-tuned suspension, unique grille, and a four-tailpipe exhaust.

The Audi A7 Avant has been a common sight recently, with various variants emerging. Last week, the A7 Sedan was seen, and now we get our first glimpse of the S7 Avant.

Initially, the heavily camouflaged prototype may not seem remarkable. However, a closer look reveals key differences indicating this is not a standard model.

The most significant clue is the four-tailpipe exhaust system with circular tips, a signature of the S variant. In contrast, RS models feature a larger dual exhaust, and standard variants have less aggressive exhausts.

Changes include a unique grille and sportier front bumper, with a slightly reduced ride height suggesting a sport-tuned suspension.

The overall design retains much from the A7, featuring streamlined bodywork, sweptback headlights, minimalist door handles, and boomerang-shaped taillights.

Details about the new A7/S7 lineup are scarce, but the model will utilize the PPC (Premium Platform Combustion) architecture, also underpinning the next-gen A5 and Q5.

An electrified powertrain is expected, indicated by a warning sticker on the windshield, hinting at a plug-in hybrid setup, milder than the upcoming RS7 Avant’s.

The current S6 Avant, with a 3.0-liter TDI V6, produces 339 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, accelerating from 0-62 mph in 5.1 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph.
