Summary
Recommended. Audis full-sized executive saloon majors on waft and effortless progress, although only the seriously wealthy need apply.
Styling
Bland or discrete - its a tough call. Less visually exciting than the 7 Series or S Class.
Handling
Composed and pretty much unflappable over any given road, the A8s lightweight aluminium construction helps with its supple road manners.
Comfort
Is there a better place in the world to dispatch a long journey than the cabin of an Audi A8? Were having difficulty thinking of one.
Quality
Ultra-solid in every regard, the A8 combines upmarket materials with hand-built quality. An object lesson in how to create a luxury saloon.
Performance
All versions are respectably rapid with the V10 engined S8 and 6.0 litre W12 giving massive performance. The brawny, ultra-smooth 4.2 litre V8 TDI is a truly amazing engine and the pick of the range.
Roominess
Occupants enjoy plenty of space both front and rear, with a long-wheelbase version available for those wanting a true chauffeur limousine.
Costs
Variable servicing and respectable fuel economy help to keep running costs in check, but depreciation is steep.
Value
Priced hard against rivals, but strong standard equipment includes leather, metallic and an automatic gearbox - but there are plenty of expensive options to tempt buyers further.
Stereo
Brilliant audio system gives the sort of performance youd expect from a car in this segment. Satnav system is easy to operate and gives clear instructions.
