The Brilliant Audi A8

3. AUDI A8
The Audi A8 offers a combination of luxury and
performance that few cars can match, while a new
turbo-diesel model provides truly impressive fuel
economy for its class.
The Audi A8 comes standard with a supercharged V6
engine that reviewers say is powerful and refined.
A more powerful twin-turbocharged V8 engine and a
W12 engine is available in higher trims, and the high-performance
Audi S8 offers even more power.
A new turbo-diesel V6 engine comes in the long-wheelbase
A8L TDI, and test drivers are particularly
impressed with the power and fuel economy that the
diesel-powered A8L provides.
An eight-speed automatic transmission comes with
all A8 models, and critics agree that it shifts quickly
and smoothly.
4. Fuel Consumption
The base A8 gets estimated 13.84/8.4
litres/100 kmh for city and highway, which is
very good for the class.
The A8L TDI earns outstanding fuel
economy for a super luxury car, at 9.8/6.5
litres per 100 kmh.
An adaptive air suspension comes standard
in the A8, which gives the A8 surprisingly
soft handling, as well as a ride that’s
comfortable and composed.
Some reviewers also note that the A8’s
driving dynamics are further bolstered by
precise steering and the excellent traction
provided by the standard all-wheel drive
system.
5. Interior
The A8’s cabin is one of the nicest in the class. Reports say that the exceptional build
quality and first-rate materials make the interior almost as nice as the pricier Mercedes-
Benz S-Class’ interior, and some report that only exotic cars built by Bentley or Rolls-
Royce offer accommodations that are more luxurious.
The Audi A8 has comfortable and supportive front seats, as well as a spacious back seat.
The A8L has even more space, with an additional back-seat legroom. While many auto
writers note that the A8 has less trunk space than most super luxury cars, others are
amazed by the A8’s standard high-tech interior features, which include a navigation
system that can display Google Earth views and a Bose stereo system with HD and
satellite radio, as well as Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity.
Options and features available on higher trims include four-zone automatic climate
control, a panoramic sunroof, adaptive cruise control and a Bang & Olufsen sound
system.

7. Summary of Reviews by other automotive experts:
"With a gorgeous cabin and handling that's distinctly and gloriously German, the A8 is,
from roof to rubber, a class act that succeeds at elevating the driving experience in
the large luxury sedan class." --Edmunds
"When it comes to feature content, performance and prestige, the A8 holds its own
against long-refined rivals like the BMW 7 Series, Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Lexus
LS." -- Kelley Blue Book
"Fire up the A8 L and it performs just like an Audi. It's a cocoon of comfort with lots of
power. It is so quiet that the thrill of the power from the supercharged V6 was the only
thing keeping me awake one morning." -- AutoWeek(2013)
"Compared with the big S-Classes and 7 Series of the world, the A8 feels lithe and
more responsive -- less of a limousine and more of a sport sedan. That's to say
nothing of the long-wheelbase Audi's huge amount of rear legroom." -- Motor
Trend (2013)
