VIN counts come from our decode of the model's build patterns, not from live listings. A year link opens the full S7 report for that year — every engine of the model, not just this one.

The 4.0L 8-cyl S7: common questions

Which S7 years have the 4.0L 8-cyl?

2013–2018, without a break — 6 model years in our VIN decode, across 16 factory configurations and 3,192 VINs.

What does a 4.0L 8-cyl S7 cost?

$23,489 is the typical asking price across the 88 cars with this engine on sale today. The year-by-year ladder above splits that by model year — the spread between the oldest and newest year is far wider than the spread between engines.

What is the engine code, and does it matter?

4l v8 — the code the VIN decodes to on the configurations on this page. It matters when you order parts or read a service history: the same displacement badge on another model can be a different code with different outputs.
