2011-2018 Audi A8
Full-size Luxury Sedan
Audi's flagship five-passenger luxury sedan delivers high quality materials throughout the car, which is likely why it was recognized by JD Power's in their Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) study. All-wheel drive is standard and an optional diesel motor returns 36 mpg highway (a standout in this class.) An extended wheelbase option that adds 5.2 more inches for those who desire more rear legroom, and this version also can be equipped with two adjustable rear bucket seats (total seating is four people in this form.)
