2016 Audi S7 Review and Road Test - DETAILED in 4K UHD!

[@TheAdventureAuto]

Do you carry a cheat sheet of all the other models in your pocket, or do you just have an incredible memory? You make all these comparisons with stats...impressive.

[@steamy7676]

This guy is very professional. Really like the way he explains the engine design and comparison with competitors

[@bestman81]

this is the first guy whom I've watched his review and felt like he's good coz most car reviews ive seen turn to favour some cars because there are rear wheel drive like MB and BMW but they forget that in real word all wheel drive means safety and Traction especially here in UK where it's always damp. Good job. Ive only seen two of your videos but I haven't sensed any favouritism on certain cars you laid facts as they are compared to some other guys .Thank you Alex

[@davelong9050]

Excellent Review!! 95% fact and 5% opinion = good combination.

[@mr.a6767]

6:57 that pose 🤦🏾‍♂️😂😂😂😂😂 like your taking a picture mate 🤣 in the trunk of one of the sweetest cars ever

[@rickmcdowell9550]

Very thorough review -- answered all my S7 questions -- what a car!

[@FrankCrow]

Great review! I have definitely talked myself into it now! Since I can't get an A6 Avant in the range that I want, I'm gonna settle for A7! They look wonderful!

[@Danboarding]

My absolute favourite Audi! Thanks for this review!

[@jackmannsmd]

Best car reviews period!

[@altagracia57]

Wonderful review. Great production quality. You definitely have a knack for presentation. Kudos!

[@actthree34]

I was watching the tach during your test drive and noticed that engine speed popped up to 2,000 rpm a couple of times but most of the time that engine was running at something like 1,500. Impressively low engine speed even for a drive on your roads.

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

+William Large The engine produces an insane amount of low end torque which allows this, it also really helps fuel economy.

[@chigasaki06]

+Alex on Autos How reliable are air suspensions, and typically how long do they last. I'm interested in eventually purchasing a S6, but I'm hesitant about a vehicle with air suspension.

[@jonathanradler3824]

ive had it on my mercedes benz gl 450 for about 9 years before one of the air sacs popped, costs about 2000$ to repair, and if you have bought the s6 and it does pop, make sure to fix it quickly because it can reek havoc on the axle, had another 2000 dollars of repair because i waited too long.

[@elliottmanning4116]

To Audi: Shut up and take my money! The design, performance, red leather seats!

[@DelCalloway]

Does a backwards facing baby seat fit in the rear seats? Won't let me click the option in the video

[@kashiffkhan6239]

You can get "comfort seating" with valcona leather and massage function in the A7, S7, RS7....nice review...

[@watershed44]

Wow lots of talk about styling, and amenities, but a short amount of time on driving dynamics and controls....so much for drivers' cars. The German makers have quickly lot the plot for what made them truly special.

[@redwolfmendoza]

lol @ "Trunk Comfort Index" gets me everytime :)

[@jsiszero]

Nice camera work... wish there was an exhaust, acceleration clip, and braking in addition to the cruising.

[@mp2404]

2016 Mazda MX5 review is much appreciated. BTW nice work for all other detailed reviews. Thanks :)

[@petergouws9112]

As always, great in depth review

[@knightmarel]

A7 is my dream car. Stylish yet practical. Only if they replaced the supercharger with a turbo on the A7 or bring back the TDI.

[@Chrislee55321]

can't wait for the 2016 civic review.

[@conniepierce328]

Awesome review. Thanks for shairng!

[@bart8202]

Great review as usual .

[@mikemulhearn3220]

With an APR tune this thing is even more of a beast.

[@jordanl5064]

Mikey Mulhearn that's mostly used on the RS7. No one does it on an S7 😂

[@L1GHT119]

Why is that? It brings horsepower up to rs 7 levels., and torque up to 600. For $2000, why isn't it done?

[@donferrell6320]

People have done it, videos are all over youtube.

[@nycbball8]

Jordan L I actually did on my 2018 s7 also did down pipes. It screams 😎

[@VertigoGTI]

Very well done review. Any chance you want a co-host and make it 'Alexs on Autos'?

[@markjohnson2079]

I love these - but the 4 seats vs the 5 seat arrangement of the S7 vs A7 is a deal breaker...

[@oslouk]

Very informative review, liked the engine theory info, nice one

[@charliipresley]

That’s a nice “coop-aye” 😂

[@mountainhobo]

Hope you get to review Cadillac CT6 as soon as it comes out, Alex.

[@TheSpectre2300]

Hi Alex! I was wondering: Do you think that Audi has suffered as much as VW has with the Emissions thing? I'm thinking about the A3 but I'm not 100% sure it's the right call considering what Audi/VW are going through.

[@jaykae3952]

They were only haveing problems with diesel/tdi models.

[@MA9494AM]

What do you think of the first information and pictures of the Volvo S90?

[@AtahanHesan]

best car ever

[@vincentyabut4828]

Great review! I've been a fan of your thorough reviews for quite some time. Question on ride comfort - what's your take on the reliability of air suspensions in these luxury sport cars/SUVs generally? My gut tells me to steer clear of air suspensions because of cost/reliability/repair even though it may contribute to better overall ride. Any thoughts you can share?

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

+Vincent Yabut Air suspensions will always cost more in the long run than a standard suspension, no matter whose air suspension it is. Our old GMC Envoy with the rear air suspension had to have its airbags replaced around 110,000 miles, our Jaguar Super V8 with a full air suspension has so far had no issues but air suspension struts can cost 2-4X the cost of a traditional strut and the compressor may need replacement in the 100-200K window.

[@vincentyabut4828]

+Alex on Autos Yup I generally drive my cars to the ground hoping to get 150/200k miles so will definitely encounter repair/maintenance for air suspension. I am thinking about either a new xc90 or possibly q7 but will probably decline the air suspension option. Anyway thanks for the quick response and $.02. Keep up the great work!

[@musicloveranthony]

How does this profoundly expensive car not offer standard ventilated seats, nor auto brake hold? I'm pretty excited for Hyundai to spin off the Genesis line. I don't predict them omitting such features - as well they shouldn't. I'm also concerned about the alcantara door inserts. Alcantara wears quickly and easily - they've placed it in a very high touch/high wear area; odd decision . That steering wheel is fantastic, though.

[@rickmcdowell9550]

stick with Genesis

[@A_guan]

How do the turn signals work in the back? I saw them have the sequential turn signals. How does it work on this one? Does it have the sequential turn signals? If not why?

[@xavier0237]

The way that Audi implements sequential turn signals is currently not legal in the U.S.

[@batiabdulov4969]

I don't know why you still haven't reviewed civic 2016.been waiting forever.

[@jeez3k]

Looking forward to your review of the 2016 BMW X1

[@MrSquirrel]

Great review , Greetings from Sweden Subscribed

[@morg4620]

As always a stellar review. Can you a do a 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander gt.

[@zenekbombalina4360]

Your reviews are just great! Thx, man! One mistake though - CLS and E-class have different interiors.

[@Mr.BobbyBrown]

Looks like a lovely car, but that price will make it unreachable for the majority of people, which is a shame.

[@Mr.BobbyBrown]

+Edvin Gusinac It's correctly priced, but what I meant was a shame in the fact that the majority of people will never be able to experience what it has to offer due to the price. Neither a pro or a con, just a fact.

[@ronaldderooij1774]

+Mr Bobby Brown It makes me wonder how useful such reviews are then.... The review in itself is very good, but if only a few people really benefit from it, well what is the point?

[@Mr.BobbyBrown]

+Ronald de Rooij The point is to appeal to all the masses. It's the same reason Lincoln has Matthew Mcconaughey in their commercials. Not everyone can afford a Lincoln, but someone with Matthew Mcconaughey's stature possibly could. Those people are out there, and they need reviews too.

[@ronaldderooij1774]

+Mr Bobby Brown Yeah I suppose so. Maybe we should strike some kind of balance here... :-)

[@SirBitchalot]

+Mr Bobby Brown You could say the same for the BMW 8 series, Merc S Class, Maybach, Ferrari, Lamborghini etc etc. They're called luxury brands for a reason. They are bloody expensive to make sure common yobs like me can't mix with the upper crust.

[@fredrikmelin1490]

why do you pronounce the coupe in gran coupe the right way but the american way when you only say coupe?

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

+Fredrik Melin Pronouncing coupé in the French way is considered pretentious and "douchy" in America so by splitting the pronunciation I'm giving everyone equal fodder to complain.

[@fredrikmelin1490]

Alex on Autos haha yeah i guess, fair enough. Love your videos, keep up the great work!

[@user-so5de6yp1d]

surprised that the audi s7 doesn't get the latest mmi system

[@davidhamel681]

IS THERE A 2017 A7 3.0T SEPARATE REVIEW

[@jaykae3952]

can you do a review on the miata

[@nejatugur4994]

great review ! :))

[@venusreena2532]

A+ review

[@sgdfghdhdxfgbx]

Wow did was so informative

[@raisinbranden]

please do the 2017 a4

[@irdibasha391]

Isn't the Volkswagen cc also a competitor?

[@sic22l]

+irdi basha No, it's smaller, less powerful and less premium. It's a Passat with different bodywork.

[@jaykae3952]

Its a eurospec passat

[@jordanl5064]

irdi basha yes

[@segredosdotiosam9989]

Sedan, coupe or hatchback? you decide

[@Latin809Ak47full]

good job

[@gunmenow]

What about S6 vs S7?

[@luc7976]

+ray zhang Most reviews say S6 handles better and is cheaper.

[@sic22l]

+Lucien E That's because S7 has air suspension which makes it more comfy and floaty.

[@shopwithaaron]

No cooled seats on the S7??? Too many options on that car!

[@rickmcdowell9550]

S7 is available with ventilated seats on their top seat options

[@rickmcdowell9550]

you can order S7 with both heated AND ventilated front seats

[@demolisherOfMoney]

The S7 doesn't compete with the M6 though, you'd be better making a comparison to the 6 series Gran-coupe with xDrive I'd reckon the speed on both these 2 machines are quite similar

[@Samer.a.lebron]

Rival of sls??? What???

[@connormettus4799]

Why are plastics ok at this price point? I hate the "high quality plastics" in audi's. It just feels cheap to me

[@rickmcdowell9550]

What plastics? -- don't understand why you made this negative comment, this S7 interior is top notch --

[@SrchangwaytogoC]

This is not 4K, is blurry AF

[@IAmRockReigns]

You listen to Lorde and Katy Perry. This makes your opinion OBSOLETE. Ahh yeeah.

[@watershed44]

EPS steering is HORRIBLE and should stopped being used at worst it can be dangerous if electrical power is lost and at best it is artificial feeling and gives the driver no tactile indication of what is going on under the wheels.

[@misskay2702]

one oғ тнe "вeѕт" revιewѕ ι нave ever waтcнed ĸeep ιт υp!!!!

[@LanceJDanks]

Love the car, but can't get past the bulbous front grill.

[@wpmedia5582]

less rambling and more vroom vroom you prat.. averaging like 25 mPh... >:o ECONOMY MODE 1-2 REVS.... GO REVIEW A FORD FIESTA

[@DanielBlaney]

Carbon fiber has no place being in an interior applied like that. Makes the interior look really cheap. Doesn't matter if its real.

[@Peizxcv]

And the amazing Amerco-Japanese Tesla S beats them all.

[@DimaS-bs4ge]

Great review but car looks awful..
