The model
Read full Audi A8 review
The A8’s blend of performance, comfort and serenity are wedded to a beautifully built, practical and well-equipped interior. In fact, by a whisker, it beats the Mercedes S-Class, which shows just how good to drive and be driven in the A8 is.
The trim
Black Edition trim is based on S line, but as its name suggests, it brings lots of black exterior detailing (including for the door mirrors) and piano black interior trim. You also get a bespoke alloy wheel design.
The engine
This 3.0-litre V6 diesel is smooth and quiet, if not quite as refined as the 400d engine in the rival Mercedes S Class. It isn't as powerful as that engine, either, although performance is more than adequate and there's a healthy swell of acceleration available from low revs.
