Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about torque specifications
Q1 What type of suspension system does the 2019-Present Audi S7 use?
What type of suspension system does the 2019-Present Audi S7 use?
The 2019-Present Audi S7 is equipped with an adaptive air suspension system. This system features electronically controlled air springs and adaptive dampers, allowing for adjustable ride height and damping characteristics. The suspension can lower the vehicle by 20 mm in Dynamic mode or raise it by 25 mm in Lift mode for improved ground clearance.
Q2 What is the ground clearance of the Audi S7 with the adaptive air suspension?
What is the ground clearance of the Audi S7 with the adaptive air suspension?
The ground clearance of the Audi S7 varies depending on the suspension mode. In standard mode, the ground clearance is approximately 120 mm. In Dynamic mode, it lowers to 100 mm, and in Lift mode, it increases to 145 mm to accommodate rough terrain or steep driveways.
Q3 How does the adaptive air suspension improve handling and comfort?
How does the adaptive air suspension improve handling and comfort?
The adaptive air suspension continuously adjusts damping forces based on road conditions, driving style, and selected drive mode. It reduces body roll during cornering, improves stability at high speeds, and enhances ride comfort by absorbing road imperfections. The system also automatically lowers the vehicle at speeds above 120 km/h to improve aerodynamics and stability.
Q4 Can the suspension settings be customized?
Can the suspension settings be customized?
Yes, the Audi S7 allows drivers to customize suspension settings through the Audi Drive Select system. Options include Comfort, Auto, Dynamic, and Individual modes. In Individual mode, drivers can tailor damping, steering, and throttle response to their preferences.
Q5 What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the adaptive air suspension?
What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the adaptive air suspension?
Audi recommends inspecting the adaptive air suspension system every 15,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. Key maintenance tasks include checking air spring integrity, inspecting for leaks in the air lines, and ensuring proper operation of the compressor and dampers. Use only genuine Audi parts for replacements to maintain system performance and warranty coverage.
