Interior Design and Special Features
As Audi's leading, the 2014 A8 symbolizes the best that the company has to offer. Thanks to beautiful components along with outstanding workmanship, the cottage is one of the finest in any leading high-class automobile.
As you'd expect, convenience is a priority and the A8 provides it in heaping sections. The improved seat found in the Top quality program modify in so many ways that Audi needed to develop a more innovative means of managing them, and they ultimately ensure that motorists of any dimension or shape will discover an maximum position to motor away countless kilometers. Rear seat convenience is also popular, especially in the long-wheelbase editions that offer an comprehensive 43 inches wide of back legroom.
For technophiles, Audi's Multi Media Interface provides a lot of functions through a crystal-clear show. There's a bit of a learning bend to it, but with a short time period, management of numerous systems becomes second nature. The exclusive remote touch pad (upon which you can "write" characters and numbers with your finger) also enhances as a radio predetermined panel. It may seem like a unnecessary unique at first, but it turns out to be as useful as it is awesome. If there's one issue that seems to come up more than others, it would be the A8's lack of footwear space. At a modest 13.2 cubic legs, freight capacity is far below that of its competitors and not nearly adequate to provide baggage for four adults.

Driving Impressions
Power from the Audi A8's platform V6 is numerous, whether under speeding or visiting down the road. Passing more slowly cars is simple and easy and the stopping system are equally up to the task of bringing the big automobile to a stop. The 4.0T energy plant is even more impressive. While earning nearly the same gas mileage as the revved-up V6, the turbocompresseur V8 provides a tidal wave of simple and easy twisting to the point that a V8-equipped A8 will go toe to toe with almost any muscle car in a move competition.
Fortunately, there are few if any disadvantages to switching to the diesel-powered A8 TDI style. Acceleration is quick thanks to the numerous twisting, and there's very little diesel fuel clatter to be heard from the inside. The automated stop-start function can be a little jarring on start-up, but it is quick to respond and requires no waiting to get back on the gas. For those who discover it too troublesome, it can be impaired easily.
With its all-wheel generate, well-tuned revocation and sharp guiding reaction, the A8 manages like a smaller, less heavy sport automobile in either wheelbase configurations. Yet over broken sidewalk, the Audi leading provides a certified, consisting ride completely in keeping with its high-class automobile position. We also like its digitally flexible configurations for the framework and motor calibration, which offer a much better car owner personalization than BMW's identical program.
All things considered, the 2014 Audi A8 is a deserving opponent among world-class high-class cars. While the gap between these high-end cars is filter, the Audi A8 differentiates itself as a true motorist's car.
