Audi A8 Saloon (10 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 12 February 2010 Last Updated: 20 August 2010 There are few better luxury cars on the road than the Audi A8. While the design may not break many boundaries, the flagship of the Audi range showcases cutting edge yet user-friendly technology, along with impressively efficient engines. Like the previous model, it uses a lightweight aluminium body that boosts economy and aids handling. All models also come with Audi Drive Select - a system that allows the driver to change the steering, suspension and automatic gearbox settings. The 3.0-litre models also get stop/start in a bid to reduce fuel consumption. Then there's the superb cabin which oozes class with its top quality materials and elegant, yet modern design. Whether you're behind the wheel or relaxing in the sumptuous rear seats, the A8 is simply a wonderful car to travel in. Crucially, it's now also a true match for alternatives like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. There's also a long wheelbase limo available, which increases legroom by 130mm. 5 out of 5 Other Audi reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Gallery Also Consider 4.5 out of 5 Jaguar XJ Saloon (10 on) Daring and unique styling both inside and out, supremely refined, available as a long wheelbase, muscular performance, agile handling Steering lacks some feel, rear headroom could be better Read full review 4.5 out of 5 BMW 7-Series (08 on) Incredibly comfortable, exceptionally well built, acres of rear space, superbly refined Poor depreciation, high running costs Read full review 5 out of 5 Mercedes-Benz S-Class (06 on) Exceptional refinement, the pinnacle of luxury travel, superb performance, sophisticated cabin High running costs, expensive to service Read full review Find other saloon cars Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
