I feel, the front, doesn't need a touch screen, they can still retain the screen for maps and navigation. I feel true luxury is putting up great quality buttons, touchpad, maybe veneer wood and also maybe a clock would do, touch screens are really unrealiable when you're hitting speeds upwards of 200 km/h on the highway

[@siddharthbudhdeo6163]

Devansh Vithlani How can anyone drive over 200 on Indian road?

[@delhisedur5463]

If you drive 200km/hr in India touch screens are not your primary concern.

[@devansh7514]

@@siddharthbudhdeo6163 on well constructed highways, these cars easily do 200 km/h

[@devansh7514]

@Arya Karna the same reason why the most expensive luxury car, the Rolls Royce Phantom, has more buttons and good quality veneer wood. The screen that is there is also fully operated by buttons and touch pad

[@shb9096]

It is easy to build and program touchscreen and hard to design and produce a button or knob. So such an expensive car deserves buttons and knobs

Someone needs to stop giving Audi and BMW the access to the ‘scale’ function in their grille design programmes

[@xcofcd]

They do that to appeal to buyers in china. The chinese seem to like it like that...

[@craveleaks8102]

Yes, well said and nice observation. Those grills for recent Audi and BMW really look bad and too large.

[@gunpreet100]

I love the Audi A8 L. Audi has managed to make a flagship car that can compete with the S-Class and the 7 Series.I love the interiors. They look really amazing. The piano finish is awesome. The tablets are the biggest in it's category. I love the fact that they have given a small tablet for the rear passengers with more cool features.The exterior also looks great. Audi is now as good as Mercedes-Benz and BMW.I love Audi.

[@ribin540]

Audi is always good not now.audi is the king now🔥

[@1989soumitra]

Good intro man..

[@spicee101]

Audi has nailed the design of the A8 by keeping it minimal unlike the new Bmw 7 series which went overboard with that huge ass front grill.

[@adultelbin]

its a personal choice bro...

Can someone share price of Bmw 7 series and Mercedes s class here?. . It useful to others

[@dweepayandas3647]

Thank you soo much sir for showing us.

[@MegaSlytherine]

Audi has done a good job with the A8L but unfortunately it still lacks the finesse & the grandeur that the S-Class has. When viewed from the front, there's little to differentiate between the A8L & other sedans in Audi's lineup. The interior design too looks classy & Audi is known for the quality levels, but still has its slew of misses like the overtly use of gloss black coloured materials on the dashboard. I am a huge Audi fan & they have always come up with great products & I would like to see them come up with a host of customisation options for the interior just to spruce up the ambiance of the cabin. Great review by Gavin as always & keep up the good work..!😊😊👍

[@shaktis6877]

Good car, is its grill bigger than Lexus LS 500h?

[@dtoxb9178]

I feel this is a very delayed product where its German rivals are constantly refreshing their 7-Series and the S-Class(which is due for the latest generation). Otherwise it was really a compelling product.

Government should reduce the high import duties levied on these cars!!!!!!😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠

[@Chandrimamedhi79]

Like how do you differentiate the very premium A8 from the entry level sedans of Audi? Every car looks just the SAME and doesn’t stand out as you see it from the front and to actually know which car it is,you get to know that only when you see the back or the model written on the back... Some generous changes to the grill would have been better

[@rishabhchaudhary2905]
