City journeys set the terms for the Audi A8 3.0 AT here: repeated starts, slow queues and short hops between errands, rather than long uninterrupted stretches of open road.
4 generation · Sedan Long
Generation photo. Individual trim appearance may differ.
The highest speed a vehicle can sustain under manufacturer test conditions. Some cars are electronically limited below their mechanical potential. Glossary entry
250 km/h
Engine type
Plug-in
Transmission
Automatic
Type of boost?
A turbocharger or supercharger compresses the air entering the engine so a smaller engine can produce more power. Naturally aspirated engines draw air without a compressor. Glossary entry
Turbo
Type of drive?
Which wheels receive power: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive can send power to every wheel for extra traction. Glossary entry
AWD
Bore and stroke?
The diameter of a cylinder (bore) and the distance the piston travels inside it (stroke). Together they determine the displacement of the engine. Glossary entry
84.5 × 89 mm
Engine capacity?
The total volume swept by all pistons inside the cylinders, usually stated in cubic centimetres or litres. Larger displacement often means more power but higher consumption. Glossary entry
2995 cm³
Engine location
Front, longitudinal
Number of gears?
How many fixed forward ratios a gearbox offers. More gears can improve economy and refinement; continuously variable transmissions have no fixed steps. Glossary entry
8
Maximum power?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
449 hp
Maximum power, kw?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
330 kW
Compression ratio?
The ratio between the largest and smallest volume of a cylinder as the piston moves. Higher ratios improve efficiency but may require higher-octane fuel. Glossary entry
11.2
Maximum power rpm
5000 – 6400 rpm
Maximum torque N⋅m
700 N⋅m
Maximum torque rpm
1370 – 4500 rpm
Acceleration to 100?
The time a vehicle needs to reach 100 km/h from a standstill, a common shorthand for overall performance. Glossary entry
4.9 s
Engine power system
Direct injection (direct)
Number of cylinders
6
Valves per cylinder?
The number of intake and exhaust valves in each cylinder. Four valves per cylinder is common and helps the engine breathe at higher speeds. Glossary entry

Engine and Transmission
Urban driving asks for smooth progress at low speeds far more often than anything dramatic: easing away from lights, holding a steady crawl, then slowing again. Many drivers judge a car mainly by how unremarkable those repeated moments feel.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
On a familiar route attention belongs to the road, not the dashboard. Controls that have been used often enough to find by habit let climate or audio adjustments happen without the long pauses that break concentration in traffic.
Body and Practicality
Shopping bags are the classic city load, and what helps is less raw volume than arrangement: a level surface where bags stay upright instead of tipping, and easy reach from the kerb so everything goes in at once.
