The fact that ANY automaker is offering a large-sized saloon is a win for consumers. Too many either are or headed to an all SUV line-up.
It is one thing if the marque is synonymous for SUVs, but I am sure there are many consumers that may need the people room moreover than cargo room. The SUV craze is a predominant thing in the United States, but in other parts of the world, many SUVs are simply too large for their roads.
I also understand that some marques are using the SUV as a means of self-financing their more common offerings (i.e. Lamborghini and Ferrari). The respective offerings are large enough to offer room for 4 with luggage, but not overly large that it cannot fit narrower roads or be considered a truck.
To answer the question posed, the Audi A8 and Jaguar XJ (RIP to the Brit) have been my preferences. To me, understated elegance is more luxurious than overt opulence; thus, being able to stand the test of time.
The industry itself has been stating the same thing. The over-reliance of screens will bite an automaker in the back of the hand, aging a vehicle faster than those that adopt restrained evolutions of classic designs.

The wraparound light show in the S-class interior strikes me as a little bit garish. The interior of the A8 is a bit more conventional and elegant.

[@wzothman4211]

we waiting for the next generation

[@Destroyer-Grizzly-BIH]

It’s a very nice spec.

[@richardsimms251]

Nice video

2024 Audi A8L 55 3.0L TFSI V6 8-Speed Tiptronic Quattro AWD Black Optic Package!

[@christopherberthiaume914]

Really need to drive the 4L V8. V6 is a dog in this thing, too heavy.

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

Yeah the S8 with the 4.0L twin turbo V8 is quick for a huge sedan like this. It provides a lot of great power that this car needs.

[@jamesmaccari9128]

Maybe so but it is a nightmare to service with the V8

[@MercOne]

@@jamesmaccari9128 Why would the V8 be a nightmare to service?

[@roberta4683]

5.6 0-60 for 5k pound vehicle isn’t bad. My Type S is low 5’s for Turbo 6. If we all recall, not long ago, caddies and Towncars were in the 7-8 second range on v-8s.

[@DBone539]

Audi going the Infinti route and forgetting to update their vehicles.

[@MrJr0455]

Doesn’t need an update it’s the most solid luxury car all around

[@femiogunsola5436]

Yeah. Why do you need an update. This interior is so much better than the crap that most luxury automobiles are churning out nowadays.

[@AdventurousNomad007]

The shoes.... Are they a lucky pair?

[@22leggedsasquatch]

It's my company car. Understated gorgeousness.

[@Draarkx]

very nice car! :) ;)

[@jamesmaccari9128]

Be nice people ...

[@jordannigel5108]

Im not into cars but i have the audi a3 2023 why does it seem like the a3 2022 and beyond is the only model that has changed in terms of its interior and the rest of the models are waiting for newer interior designs … please enlighten me lol

[@RollsHigh]

It is purchased more than an A8 so they do this to appeal to the higher volume buyers who could be potential repeat customers

[@adarshs3992]

Lux+Perf=Audi.

[@femiogunsola5436]

Ben, these A8s are more comfortable than the Benz and old 7 series. The new 7 series may be slightly better. That said, the A8s are more reliable

[@moe1992]

Audi and reliable do not go together 😂

[@ameralbadry6825]

Not much changes since 2019

[@S.T.R.Y.K.E.R.]

It is quite literally a Lexus LS460L but with better performance and less reliability.

[@Relle_Banks]

Better off getting the bmw 740i all I have to say it wow Audi has a long way to go

[@loutorres1965]

I currently have a 740i with 20k miles already having electrical issues. Good thing for manufacturers warranty. But I digress. The Audi has more gadgets and amenities, especially for rear passengers.

[@superset5]

"It's very quiet too". Dude, you haven't gone above 5 mph and you're currently at a stop. Also, no music playing. OF COURSE IT'S VERY QUIET!

[@blakemarchand6650]

Slurring your words again I hear

[@Destroyer-Grizzly-BIH]

Mustache too heavy.

[@blakemarchand6650]

@@Destroyer-Grizzly-BIH haha!

[@sony.a]

You could clean your shoes at least 🤔

[@donaldsadler9949]

Have the 2022 A8L and I wasted my time watching this hoping for something new…smh

[@Destroyer-Grizzly-BIH]

No car with a V6 is worth $100k.

[@nateisright]

Dino 246? Buick GNX? Lancia Stratos? I could go on.

[@hemal8569]

also ford GT

[@22leggedsasquatch]

Build quality and engineering.

[@timsouttahere]

Also, Mercedes has nothing to worry about

[@konstantinkennedy2244]

Agreed, I sold Audi for 4 years and now am with MB. Look at what you see on the road, probably at least 20 S-class cars to 1 A8

[@cy9105]

Believe me when i say that its not worth the money. Whoever designed the interior...oof.

[@22leggedsasquatch]

Try sitting in one.

[@sava2228]

Too conventional, old fashion lines, with too low nav panel, Genesis is still way ahead..🎉

[@go5582]

You really think so? Please explain?

[@pauldurham9422]

Genesis is not in this class, it's junk within two years of ownership

[@brooklynknightss]

This car is so outdated
