The 2019 Audi A8 marks {the beginning|the start} of {a new|a brand new} {generation|era|technology} of {big|huge|large|massive} Audi sedans. It {uses|makes use of} {technology|expertise|know-how} {to stand|to face} out: It {sports|sports activities} a predictive {active|energetic|lively} suspension with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, a {dual|twin}-{screen|display|display screen} infotainment system, and rear-axle steering, which make the 2019 A8 {the most|essentially the most|probably the most} {advanced|superior} and {comfortable|comfy|snug} {car|automobile|automotive} Audi has ever {built|constructed}. {The new|The brand new} A8 {is also|can also be|can be} {more|extra} sporty, with a buttery {ride|experience|journey|trip}. {The sole|The only|The only real} engine for 2019 is a {smooth|clean|easy} and {powerful|highly effective} turbocharged V-6, {but|however} coming {soon|quickly} is a twin-turbo V-8. A plug-in hybrid is {in the|within the} works. The styling evolves with a wider grille and slimmer LED headlamps, new character {lines|strains|traces} on the sides, and thinner taillights. It抯 chiseled and sober. Inside, some buttons and switches have been {replaced|changed} by a digital {display|show} and two touchscreens. The {upper|higher} handles navigation and infotainment, {while|whereas} the {lower|decrease} handles {climate|local weather} {control|management}. The A8 {also|additionally} has wireless {internet|web} {access|entry}. The A8抯 so {smart|good|sensible}, its {available|accessible|obtainable|out there} {active|energetic|lively} suspension {uses|makes use of} cameras that scan the {road|highway|street} for bumps and ruts, then adjusts in anticipation. It smooths out the {ride|experience|journey|trip}, and {can help|can assist|may also help|may help|might help|will help} mitigate accidents by rising 3.1 inches if it senses imminent {impact|affect|impression|influence}.
Its all-wheel-drive system can divide torque on demand, and {available|accessible|obtainable|out there} rear-axle steering helps it slip into tight parking {spaces|areas} {easily|simply}. No full-{size|dimension|measurement} {luxury|luxurious} {car|automobile|automotive} is frugal {at the|on the} pump, {but the|however the} A8 {is not|is just not|isn't|just isn't|shouldn't be|will not be} {bad|dangerous|unhealthy}, EPA-rated at 19 mpg {city|metropolis}, 27 {highway|freeway}, 22 {combined|mixed}. An Executive Package {includes|consists of|contains} wireless {phone|cellphone|telephone} charging, blind-spot {monitors|displays|screens}, a {surround|encompass}-view {camera|digicam|digital camera} system, a head-up {display|show}, 22-{way|approach|manner|means|method} adjustable {front|entrance} seats with cooling and a {massage|therapeutic massage} {function|operate|perform}, and an {automatic|automated|computerized} parking system. An Executive Comfort Rear Seat Package {adds|provides} heated and cooled rear seats with a {massage|therapeutic massage} {function|operate|perform} and lumbar {control|management}, a {leather|leather-based} rear {center|heart|middle} console with fold-out tables, a footrest with foot {massage|therapeutic massage} for {the right|the appropriate|the best|the correct|the fitting|the precise|the proper|the suitable} {side|aspect|facet} rear seat. A Luxury Package {includes|consists of|contains} ambient {interior|inside} lighting, {extended|prolonged} {leather|leather-based}, an Alcantara headliner, Valcona {leather|leather-based}, aluminum buttons, and an air ionizer with a fragrance dispenser. A Driver Assistance Package {includes|consists of|contains} an adaptive cruise {control|management} system {that can|that may} {control|management} the brakes, steering, and throttle at low speeds and in {traffic|site visitors|visitors} jams.
It requires the driver {to keep|to maintain} his/her {hands|arms|fingers|palms} on the wheel. {The new|The brand new} Audi {looks|appears|appears to be like|seems|seems to be} {more|extra} like {other|different} Audis than ever. The {lines|strains|traces} are sharper; it抯 1.5 inches longer with a wider stance ({although|though} the width {is the same|is identical|is similar}); and {there is|there may be|there's} {a bigger|a much bigger|an even bigger} grille with six sides. {The eye|The attention}-slit headlamps are even thinner and {more|extra} {complex|advanced|complicated} now. The A8 has a {hint|trace} of rear haunches at {the end|the tip|the top} of low and {high|excessive} character {lines|strains|traces} that run {through|by|by means of|by way of|via} the door handles. Chrome trim glints {around the|across the} {windows|home windows} and grille, and {along|alongside} the rocker panels. The rear has a trunk spoiler, twin exhaust {tips|ideas|suggestions}, and a full-width taillight bar whose lights flash sequentially upon startup. The cabin is serene, {almost|nearly|virtually} to a fault. A pair of central screens {eliminate|eradicate|get rid of|remove} many buttons. The {dash|sprint} {screen|display|display screen} does infotainment and Google Earth navigation, {while|whereas} the console {screen|display|display screen} does {climate|local weather}. {The rest of|The remainder of} the cabin {could|may|might} have come straight from Architectural Digest, with its {wood|wooden}, brushed aluminum, and {leather|leather-based}. {The standard|The usual} heated driver抯 seat is adjustable 18 {ways|methods}; the {optional|elective|non-compulsory|non-obligatory|optionally available} seat adjusts 22 {ways|methods} and {adds|provides} cooling and {massage|therapeutic massage}.
The {front|entrance} seats have 1.{3|Three} inches {more|extra} leg room than {before|earlier than}, and there are {larger|bigger} door openings making it {easier|simpler} to climb in and out. The A8 is {vast|huge} for passengers, {but|however} at 12.5 cubic {feet|ft|toes}, its trunk {is only|is barely|is just|is simply} about {the size|the dimensions|the scale} of that in a compact {car|automobile|automotive}. Audi抯 3.0-liter turbocharged V-6 makes 335 horsepower and 369 pound-{feet|ft|toes} of torque. That抯 {plenty of|loads of} {power|energy}, enabling the A8 to {accelerate|speed up} from 0-60 mph in 5.6 seconds; it抯 {smooth|clean|easy} and quiet {until|till} it抯 pushed to a reserved howl. Soon, the A8 will get an {available|accessible|obtainable|out there} 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-{8|eight} making 460 horsepower. All-wheel drive is {standard|commonplace|customary|normal}, and the 8-{speed|pace|velocity} {automatic|automated|computerized} transmission is refined. A 48-volt mild hybrid system {uses|makes use of} a belt-alternator/starter to run the {stop|cease}/{start|begin} system. Engine cycling is barely noticeable, {but the|however the} system does little {to improve|to enhance} {fuel|gas|gasoline} {economy|economic system|financial system}. Although it抯 longer by 1.5 inches, {the new|the brand new} A8 is {more|extra} agile, thanks {in part|partially|partly} to the {increased|elevated} rigidity of the chassis.
