The verdict

What's good

  • Long-wheelbase rear cabin rivals true limousines for knee and foot room
  • Predictive active suspension reads the road to level out bumps preemptively
  • PHEV mode covers typical city commutes on electricity alone
  • Air suspension automatically lowers at speed for a planted highway feel

What's not

  • PHEV battery needs regular charging to deliver promised efficiency gains
  • Complex electrical architecture increases long-term ownership risk
  • Rear-seat infotainment tablet interface can feel slow to respond
  • Heavy curb weight is perceptible when threading tight urban parking

The engine

3.0L TFSI V6 PHEV

Turbo 3.0L V6 Plug-in Hybrid

A turbocharged V6 paired with an electric motor for a refined, quattro-planted surge of torque, capable of silent electric cruising or a strong combined punch when both power sources team up.

The combustion half belongs to Audi's EA839 V6 family, in production since 2016 as a replacement for the older EA837 engines, here integrated into the A8's plug-in hybrid driveline.
