Audi A8 vs BMW 7 Series | What's the best luxury saloon to drive? | Autocar

[@MrRealmadridbernabeu]

V12 BMW vs W12 Audi would be an interesting comparison

[@Henning_]

Your colleague in Autocar gave the new A8 4.5 stars and said the car feels «amazingly wieldy and directionally responsive» and that it was «very pleasant» to drive, and on your website the A8 is ranked above the 7-series in the top 10 best luxury cars. So is the A8 a good car or not? It's not according to this video, but it is according to your website.

I have watched hundreds and hundreds of car review videos over the past 15 years and I have never seen camera placement as satisfying as the ones that are presented inside these two luxury vehicles.

Audi creaking is nothing new. The whole last series of Audi models does that. Their build quality is absolute garbage. The new A6, A7 and A8 all creak inside, at least the ones I've sat in, and I sat in quite a lot of them during the last year or so. Every single surface in the interior creaks and squeaks when you press it, especially those glossy black plastic pieces which are pretty much all over the dashboard and central console, even the metal trim that surrounds that glossy plastic is creaky when you squeeze it. Really disappointing to say that the current A3 and A4 are FAR ahead of the bigger Audi's in terms of interior quality. They might use more leather and wood in the bigger models, but they're very badly put together. Grab that central console in the A8 by the sides and yank it side to side and you'll feel the whole thing moving and creaking. They also lost their way in terms of design of the interior, I really don't like the way they look, I think the previous A8 generation was far ahead both in terms of design and especially quality. The new interiors focusing on a lot of cheap glossy plastic parts and a lot of screens with plastic pieces all over the place in general is not a good way forward. Screens look cheap, and will look outdated really soon. This is just the current craze, like digital watches in the 80's. We'll be back to analogue gauges and buttons before you know it, because that is timeless.

[@MSA-hj9pu]

Best review. It’s about time someone calls out Audi’s offerings now days. Like why would they even release the Audi with such an engine.

[@Pilotfarmand]

I've been drivin around in all three cars to work. And I must say, S class is really great, but there are a lot of cheap plastic in the back and for such an expensive car, It shouldn't have that. The Audi A8, is great I love VW group cars, but to me it feels a lot like premium VW sedans (arteon). It has some really cool tech and it is really smooth to be drivin in. But it still has a little bit of cheapness to it. The BMW is great, the quality is just on point it's so smooth, and the gear shifts are in another league. Tho' it got some plastic, it don't feel as cheap for some reason, I don't know if they use some other materiels or not. BMW cars, just has something special to them. - I am a previous owner of the Audi, VW group cars. But I am now an owner of a BMW, just to be clear and honest.

Interesting, Autocar website placed the A8 ahead of the 7. But also I gather these cars are very spec sensitive.

Audi pays the journalists to have good articles. But when there are comparative videos, they realize that BMW destroys Audi. Listen to the crackling sound inside the audi when the tester speaks. Everyone on this planet knows that the BMWs provide a driving pleasure above Audi and Mercedes, the chassis are exceptional. Audi fans are frustrated. It's easier to lie by writing your article behind your hidden desk than in a real test video

[@abc20002koonrsr]

Lexus is better built no doubt

[@poosnip]

They are not .... I have owned several Audi’s and a couple of BMW’s and their reliability is woeful. Especially the Audi’s.....really annoying. Over engineering and electronics gone mad. There is a sensor for everything and there are sensors watching the sensors so basically you get no end of alarms when one thing goes wrong. Basically these cars do the same thing as any ford or any Japanese car would but after 3 years things go wrong. It is almOST as if the failures are engineered into them

[@poosnip]

Any one who says German cars are the best in the world either has never owned one or owns a 20 year old one (built in simpler times when, yes one could argue that they are the best in the world).. having said that, I have owned 3 MERCEDES eclasses as well as BMW’s and Audi’s. My mb was the previous generation and the pre facelifts one before that. I only ever had one failure in 2009 when just outside of warranty a bank of sensors went astray and the car shut down on a roundabout ! Mercedese fixed it gratis and sent the invoice for the fix by mistake . £786. I have since owned a 2011 eclass and a 2015 eclass and not a thing has gone wrong.... although there is a massive difference in the quality of interior materials between my previous sport and last eclass SE. In my experience of the three German giants MB seems the most reliable, but servicing at the dealer is extortionate. A simple filter change and oil inspection service at 48000 miles was £480 ridiculous! I am moving to Lexus next. BMW and audi reliability’s is woeful. Especially audi. I have owned an A6 c6 and c7 and BMW 5 SERIES and for a short time an x5. All shite for reliability. All these cars had less than 50k miles on them when I bought them. I don’t believe Lexus would be any better built but the Japanese know a thing or two about removing faults and defects from the manufacturing process. I am after an RX; the saloons are pig ugly and boring

[@martonschiffer7941]

If you want more power in the A8, then you buy it with a bigger engine, or you can wait for the S8, which will obviously be a car with more capable suspension and more power. It makes no sense to compare the A8 with the smallest, weakest engine with the 7 series and lamenting about the performance.

[@pavlins123]

The BMW and the Audi in this review have roughly the same HP figures. Why do you think it is unfair comparison then ? Both BMW and Audi have more powerful engines. Also what about the misleading way Audi labels its model ? WTF is this 50 figure ? It seems like it is meant to compete with 750i and S 500 but it's nowhere near those performance figures.

[@GeorgeMietus]

This Autocar review reflects my own experiences with Audi and BMW. I have a BMW 750i with Dynamic Drive and bought a Audi A7 Prestige TDI with Quattro. The BMW 7-series with Dynamic Drive is THE best driving car I've found. It erases road imperfections, holds the road well and takes corners like a M3. My only complaints are that it's much heavier than it feels, making it hard to stop in bad weather, and the maintenance I've done (such as replacing valve seals) has been very time intensive. ...but, BMW's SQL-based ISTA is amazing and I've never had trouble finding part numbers or updating my car's firmware regularly. I bought the Audi A7 in hopes of a sportier ride mixed with better fuel economy for my daily commute, but it's just well-balanced and dull. Best I can say is that Audi is very practical. (This applies to every aspect of the car from the steering feel to the stereo.) I have to take turns at about half the speed of my 7-series because of the understeer and there's almost zero steering feedback in the wheel, no matter the setting (Comfort, Auto or Dynamic). Steering feels more like one of those video game steering wheels than actually driving a car. Ironically, I feel every bump in the road (and the roads here in Chicago are horrible), but Quattro works pretty well in bad weather. ...another huge issue is that Audi also has a lot of electronic bugs (such as the mirrors stop folding out if I lock the doors at the same time or the folding screen sometimes takes a minute to initiate) and their Java-based ODIS software requires a costly online subscription package (meant mostly only for Audi dealerships) to do most things. ...and forget about regular firmware updates as Audi doesn't believe in them. (Updates require SVM codes found in TPIs, which are usually a response to mass consumer complaints or lawsuits.) That said, it's a fine daily driver, but more comparable with Lexus/Acura than Mercedes/BMW. Based on my experiences, I'm not buying another VAG car in the future. They look fine and some specialized makes/models (such as Porsche) are great at one thing, but there are too many compromises that I'm not willing to make. BMW, in my own experiences, is more of a "best-of everything" or close to it experience.

[@tarekz9992]

Dull question I know but what MPG does it average please? 0:00

[@damindra]

Clearly the BMW is far superior and I am looking at a 760Li as my replacement to my 640D MSport Gran Coupe!!

The problem with this review is that both cars do not have the same spec, you need to spec like for like. The BMW clearly has the up graded 4 wheel steering and suspension, but the Audi hasn't, so get real with the reviews Autocar.

What the hell is going on with BMWs rear seat head rest?? Btw: If you ever want to use that camera angle from the hood-tell your cameraman to use polarizer (filter to remove that glare)

[@VersaceVJC]

The BMW´s Dynamic Drive DOES NOT read the road off the Satnav but it has a sensor on every corner to compare the cassis angle in comparison to the steering wheel input. You dorks! It´s the same to the Porsche´s PDCC!!

it is ironic series 7 interior is now outdated by new design language in Series 3 and X5. i guess LCI is incoming?

[@SpoonestGuyEver]

Audi A8 is more tecnologic but Bmw 7 has more sensible and elegant interior design. I wanna drive Bmw 7 series.

I drive an Audi. My next door neighbor drives the BMW. Many a time I’ve asked him ... “haven’t seen your Beemer parked in the driveway. Have you been out of town?” His standard response ... “no it’s in for repairs (again)”. “Oh, sorry to hear (sheepish grin). Why don’t you trade it in for an Audi and get rid of the constant repair cycle?”. “Because I like BMW”. “Alrighty then 🙄”
