The 2020 Audi A8: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2020 Audi A8 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2020 Audi A8, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Before you sign for the A8
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. There are 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 3 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and power train; have those parts checked.
Reading the spec sheet
The powertrain to know here is the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo hybrid, with all-wheel drive. It is a plug-in hybrid: it runs on electricity for a short distance, then on gas like a regular hybrid. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
A combined rating of 10.2 L/100 km works out to about 31 litres per 300 km. On electricity alone it is rated for about 676 km before the gas engine takes over. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $47.43 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
What to expect from the A8
As a large sedan, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Its 368 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A good match for
It suits short daily drives on electricity with gas for longer trips. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
A longer test drive
Rent first, buy later: a week with the A8 answers the big questions. Try the A8 on your commute, then decide. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.81 in fuel.
Choosing the right one
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
