Sporting larger air intakes in the sides of the front bumper than the A7 Avant, the S7 Avant will compete against the BMW M560e xDrive Touring and the Mercedes-AMG E 53 Hybrid 4MATIC+ T-Modell. Both of them are plug-in hybrids, with the Merc putting out 585 ps (577 hp) as opposed to a massive 573 ps (565 hp) for the Bavarian estate.
