Fuel consumption 8.4 – 16.0 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 79%(view ratings)
The Audi A8 is basically unchanged for the 2024 model year, and that’s because it’s on the way out. Soon a fully electric replacement will take over. In the meantime, the A8 is a smooth and stately sedan with either a 3.0-litre V6 (335 horsepower) or a 4.0-litre V8 (563 horsepower), both turbocharged and blessed with mild hybrid technology. Audi’s signature quattro AWD system naturally comes standard. Build quality is world-class.
