This is for the buyer who wants a full size luxury sedan that whispers rather than shouts. The A8 is Audi's flagship, the rival to the Mercedes S-Class and BMW 7 Series, built around comfort, refinement and a long list of technology. It suits the owner driver and the back seat passenger in equal measure.
Simone's test centres on the hushed cabin, the supple ride and the bank of screens that replace most of the old buttons. The back seat is the place to be, with limousine space and a serene calm on the motorway. For Australian use it is the car that makes a long airport run feel like nothing, then parks with the help of clever cameras.
If you want understated flagship luxury with the latest tech, the A8 is the discreet choice. Buyers who want presence and badge drama may prefer the Mercedes. For quiet quality and back seat comfort, Audi has the formula sorted.
