Audi is now presenting the long-wheelbase version of its new A8 4.2 quattro in Australia – the Audi A8L.

In addition to dynamic performance, generous space and luxury qualify the A8L 4.2 quattro as the ideal luxury sedan for long-distance travel. Its wheelbase has been increased by 130 millimetres, compared with the standard version, and now measures 3074 millimetres. The resulting gain in space benefits the rear passengers in full.

With the introduction of the A8L, Audi extends its new A8 range to three variants in Australia.

Audi A8 3.7 quattro tiptronic @ $173,900
Audi A8 4.2 quattro tiptronic @ $206,900
Audi A8L 4.2 quattro tiptronic @ $221,800

In future, owners of the Audi A8L 4.2 quattro will find it hard to choose where to take their seats when entering their car. Behind the wheel they can enjoy driving the sportiest of luxury sedans, with its advanced aluminium suspension with air springs and adaptive shock absorber control, quattro permanent all-wheel drive and powerful 4.2-litre V8 engine.

Those who leave the steering wheel to their drivers, taking a seat in the rear, will be welcomed by generous space and seating comfort that sets new standards.

On request, passengers can relax on electrically adjustable single seats, which are also available – depending on the owner’s personal preferences – as highly ergonomic, extra-comfortable seats with massage function, seat heating and ventilation. Rear passengers will also enjoy a pleasant driving experience. The Audi A8L is currently the most dynamic way to be driven rather than to drive.

Another extra-comfort feature: the front passenger’s seat can be adjusted from the rear, allowing rear passengers who are sitting directly behind it to increase their legroom if necessary.

The four-zone comfort automatic air conditioning with individual rear settings achieves a high level of comfort and well-being. Indirect ventilation prevents draughts from occurring and ensures a splendid climatic ambience.
