Audi A8 2019 in-depth review | carwow Reviews

This is the new Audi A8. In the same vein as the likes of the Mercedes S-Class and BMW 7 Series, the Audi A8 is a personal luxury limousine that aims to deliver luxury and quality wherever you turn. But when the competition is so good, does the Audi have what it takes to keep up? Watch my latest review to find out!

Είναι όμορφο. Εξωτερικά και εσωτερικά. Μοναδικό σαλόνι. Αυτό που με ενοχλεί (όχι μόνο στα Audi) είναι η υπέρμετρη χρήση οθονών και αυτοματισμών. Θεωρώ πως το αυτοκίνητο χάνει την αξία του έτσι. Οθόνη στο κέντρο, οθόνη αντί για κοντέρ που κάνει ό,τι και η κεντρική οθόνη, οθόνη για τον κλιματισμό, οθόνη σε κάθε κάθισμα πίσω, οθόνη για να ρυθμίζεις τα φώτα κλπ. Προτιμώ κουμπιά και διακόπτες και μια οθόνη στο κέντρο. Άσε που οι δείκτες στο κοντέρ είναι πιο σπορ. Επίσης είναι ευκολότερο να ρυθμίζεις το ραδιόφωνο ή το κλιματιστικό από τα κουμπιά όταν οδηγείς, αφού το χειρίζεσαι με την αφή και δε χρειάζεται να κοιτάς στην οθόνη

You need to learn that for every line of cars in all brands, there are different proposals, coupe, sedan limousines, roadster, SUV. stop asking drag race between sedans, the proposal of the marks is not to win in the rush, serve for comfort, mercedes is the only brand of sedans limousines that mix things up, they use limousine to even make drag race with coupes and even super sports cars, mercedes will always win against other limos, using the E63S AMG limousine.

Outstanding motor. As with all Audi's, anyone 16 to 110 years old can fall in love with this vehicle. Its not a stuffy granny vehicle or too outrageous to alienate mature drivers over 50. I will say, the light bar connecting the tail lights on several new vehicles today, is too reminiscent the old Lincoln Town Cars. It's adorable when Matt amuses himself. He has such a great personality, enthusiasm, and energy other YT motor reviewers/over-viewers lack. Few, if any others, can maintain the same level of enthusiasm for an entry level 5 door to a new Rolls Royce. Matt does each and every time. As such he provides a fair and honest review of each vehicle. At the same time I am entertained. Smile and laughter included standard. Thank you Matt. Cheers!

[@truthseeker8483]

A car like the A8 should excite you more than a "supercar" because making a car that refined is a very hard thing to acheive and it is much more useful in every day life.

[@gravemind6536]

That car is a snooze fest for anyone who even remotely calls themselves a driver and there are more screens than you know what to do with. Its also very hard to make supercars well because they have to make everything work perfectly. A supercar needs to be rigid and lightweight, aerodynamic. They must also have good weight distribution and drive train systems. On the best supercars even the wheels and tyres require perfect engineering because on cars going up to 270mph you need wheels and tyres that can tack the pressure going at that speed causes. Its incredibly difficult to get right.

[@truthseeker8483]

Gravemind I am interested in engineering, that is why it is interesting. A supercar is more intersting to someone that likes lots of noise and skidding everywhere. The only supercars that are interesting are the McLarens and Bugatti

[@truthseeker8483]

@A E S T H E T I C A F Most people dont drive "Supercars"..you probably don't either so cars that are practical and comfortable to drive in everyday life are much more relevant. Who wants to drive at 5kmh over bumps in case it scrapes the ground or have a SUV follow you with your luggage....NVH and refinement is very difficult to achieve

[@chrispoland3637]

Seriously, Benz has been the first in the scene in the class and that car is still very classy. In terms of technology, the A8 is you, but if a "modern" style isn't your thing then the S-Class's very classic-esque design is for you. Meanwhile, I love BMW, but they sometimes just fail to deliver. Honestly I think the 7-Series is made to be better than the last generation cars in its class, but now, here we are, and just two years later Audi basically takes the BMW badge and pisses on it. Shit, even that Genesis seems like a 7-Series but for half the money.

[@jpch8814]

It is the most advanced currently, read about the safety systems alone.

[@Horizon301.]

The 7 series is due for a facelift soon remember. It was out in 2015. I still think the BMW 7 series is the best out of the three however if you spec a nice A8 then it’s not too bad and it’s far better than the S Class however why spend 100knots on that? You may aswell buy a used Bentley or something surely
