If you crave a full-size luxury sedan that’s conservative on the outside but sophisticated within, the A8 is the subdued standout in this segment. For buyers who don’t already appreciate the benefits of a diesel engine over a gasoline one, the A8 L TDI is an awesome introduction.
With features like in-car Wi-Fi and Google Earth 3D navigation, the A8 is hardly a Luddite – but neither is it the technological marvel that is the new, nearly self-driving Mercedes S-Class.
