2015 Audi A8 review

1. So much luxury 

There's a reason that the A8 is at the pinnacle of the Audi sedan lineup, it's packed full of great luxury features. These include a sunroof, heated and power-folding exterior mirrors, 14-way power-adjustable front seats with four-way power lumbar, and a whole lot more. You'll also find options packages like the Warm Weather package that adds four-zone automatic climate control and power rear side sunshades or the Extended Leather package that has leather-upholstered door armrests and center console. That's just the beginning, there are even optional 18-way adjustable front and rear seats with an amazing massage function. 

2. Great engine options 

Comfort and power go together incredibly well, particularly in the 2015 A8. Start with a standard supercharged 3.0L V6 (333 hp) or search out lots for the optional 3.0L turbodiesel V6 (240 hp), an optional turbocharged 4.0L V8 (435 hp), and an awe-inspiring 6.3L W12 (500 horsepower). With a beefy base engine to optional engines like the turbodiesel, which gets an EPA-estimated 28 mpg combined, or huge W12, there is a little something for everyone.

3. Available long-wheelbase option 

If you need a bit more space in the back seat, the 2015 A8 has you covered. Even the normal wheelbase has a spacious 38.7 inches of rear legroom. However, if you have to have more space, check out the A8 L. You'll find that the car's overall length is increased by just over five inches and rear legroom jumps up to a massive 42.9 inches. Whether you are driving, or being driven, the A8 has you covered in spacious luxury. 

4. Standard quattro® all-wheel-drive 

You can't predict the weather, well perhaps if you are a meteorologist. Regardless, you are certain to be able to appreciate the value of all-wheel drive either way. The 2015 Audi A8 comes with standard quattro all-wheel-drive, giving you peace of mind when the weather goes a bit sideways. 

5. It's sporty too 

Sure, the A8 is a big car, even the regular wheelbase version is nearly 17-feet long. However, the A8 has got some dance moves you might not expect. Along with the sure footedness of standard all-wheel drive, and all that power, you'll find some sporty upgrades on the options list. Look for the sport differential, enhanced steering system, and front sport seats to make the 2015 A8 just a bit more fun when the road gets twisty.
