Audi A8 Saloon (10 on) - Review

Review by David Ross on
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.
