The 2024 Audi A8 is a diesel sedan with AWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the D5 LCI generation. The 50 TDI quattro is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured 50 TDI quattro version develops 286 hp and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 5.6 seconds, which is decisively quick for everyday road use. Top speed is listed at 250 km/h (155 mph). Its power output is close to the peer average. Its acceleration is close to the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Fuel economy and range
The listed fuel consumption is 6.8 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 73.0 litres (19.3 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 179 g/km. Consumption, emissions and range can be measured under different regional procedures, so like-for-like comparisons should use the same market and test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 5,194 mm (204.5 in) in length, 1,945 mm (76.6 in) in width, and 1,488 mm (58.6 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 3,128 mm (123.1 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 505 litres (17.8 cu ft). The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 2,080 kg (4,586 lb). That cargo volume is close to the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of 50 TDI quattro and 60 TFSI e quattro. Across the range, the specifications span 286 hp to 462 hp, 4.9 s to 5.6 s, and 44 km, while listed starting prices run from $89,900-$90,900. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby diesel sedan models from the same period, the 2024 Audi A8 does not separate itself through a single dominant headline figure. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
