The model
Read full Audi A8 reviewThe A8’s blend of performance, comfort and serenity are wedded to a beautifully built, practical and well-equipped interior. In fact, by a whisker, it beats the Mercedes S-Class, which shows just how good to drive and be driven in the A8 is.

See full equipmentS line models look more aggressive than Sports, thanks to an exterior styling pack, privacy glass and 20in rather than 18in wheels. What's more, you get clever matrix LED headlights that can shield oncoming traffic from being dazzled while maintaining main beam illumination.
The engine
See full engine specsIf you're after a regular A8 (not the S8) then we reckon the 282bhp 3.0-litre V6 diesel 50 TDI is the most sensible choice because it costs the least to buy and is remarkably efficient on a run.
