IN ITS typically understated manner, Audi has upgraded the A8 and made its flagship limousine even more refined.

Among the full-sized German luxury saloons, the all-aluminium A8 has always been the subtle choice. This big sedan is often defined by its quiet styling and logical interior, sometimes to its detriment.

But the latest AUDi A8L 4.0 TFSI quattro all-wheel-drive continues to challenge that perception. Also available as a 3.0 TFSI quattro model, this is the latest makeover for the third-generation A8, which had received a mid-life update a year ago.
