The 2019 Audi A8 for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2019 Audi A8 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page puts the 2019 Audi A8 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Recalls and complaints
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Under the hood
Its powertrain is the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo hybrid with all-wheel drive. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
Plan on about 32 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 10.8 L/100 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $50.22 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
What to expect from the A8
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The trunk holds 368 litres by the EPA's count: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who the A8 suits
It suits stop-and-go driving and rideshare or delivery work. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
Drive it on your own roads
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.74 in fuel.
Which one to look for
Within the 2019 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
