Audi sumptuous flagship saloon comes with Level 3 autonomous driving included, as well as an all-hybrid engine range and a huge amount of interior tech. All models available to lease have mild-hybrid drivetrains and air suspension.

The exterior features sharp styling touches and a more angular version of the company’s signature grille, which is flanked by laser headlamps and a full-width OLED light bar at the rear.

Inside, the dashboard has been tidied up, with a dual-screen set-up that’s highly integrated, and both responsive and fully-featured. It’s a logical layout and easily mastered, especially given the haptic feedback system that makes the onscreen buttons feel like physical ones.

The seats are large and comfortable, with plenty of storage space in and around the front of the cockpit. Rear-seat passengers get the option of being able to recline, as well as get their own screens to control various functions as well as watch TV or another video source. There’s even an optional foot massager.

Just two trim grades are offered on the A8, Standard and S-Line. Being the flagship saloon in Audi’s impressive line-up means the car should really be regarded as a well-equipped base to build upon with options.

The A8 is powered by a pair of V6 engines – a 3.0-litre TFSI turbo petrol with 286hp and a 3.0-litre TDI turbodiesel with 340hp. But the range is expected to expand to include a V8 diesel and eventually the W12 petrol, as deployed by Bentley.
