The 2020 Audi A8 for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2020 Audi A8 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. For anyone shopping for the 2020 Audi A8, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Under the hood
The 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo hybrid, paired with an 8-speed automatic, drives it. It is a plug-in hybrid: it runs on electricity for a short distance, then on gas like a regular hybrid. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
The combined figure, 10.2 L/100 km, means roughly 31 litres for 300 km. It can cover about 676 km on electricity before switching to gas. That works out to about $15.81 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
A good match for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits short daily drives on electricity with gas for longer trips.
Space, size and seats
As a large sedan, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The EPA measures its luggage space at 368 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A longer test drive
Drive the A8 on your commute before you commit to it. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Which one to look for
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.81 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $158.10 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Ask us
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
Rent it for a week before you buy
