The Audi A8 luxury saloon is available with a broad range of powertrains, from petrol-electric hybrid to the storming S8 and W12 models. Whichever you go for, all are smooth and refined, as befits a top-of-the-range luxury saloon, delivering strong performance with the added security of Audi’s quattro four-wheel-drive system.
Some buyers in this market will be drawn to the unostentatious styling; others may be put off, and think the A8 too closely resembles lesser models in the Audi range. Either way, most will agree that the car is handsome.In this class, the A8 has to face up to some stiff competition, including the incredible Mercedes S-Class and the opulent Range Rover, so to improve its chances, Audi fits all models(apart from the Hybrid) with its trademark quattro four-wheel-drive system, as well as an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
There are five engines to choose from: two diesels, two petrols and a petrol-electric drivetrain in the Hybrid model. Buyers also have their pick of six trim levels, as well as extended-wheelbase versions of many.
Kicking off the line-up is the SE model, which features 18-inch wheels, adaptive air-suspension and LED headlights. It also gets electrically adjustable heated seats, sat-nav, Bluetooth, DAB and cruise control.
Next up is the SE Executive. This benefits from a reversing camera on top of the standard parking sensors, as well as a powered bootlid with hands-free opening, soft-close doors and more adjustable seats.
SE and SE Executive models are also available in long-wheelbase L guise; this adds an extra 130mm of legroom in the back, plus electric sun blinds for the rear doors and screen, four-zone climate control and a sunroof.
so it is verry niicce car.its not a car it’s a caaarrrrrrr.
