The luxurious Audi A8 long wheelbase

MANILA, Philippines - The Audi A8 long-wheelbase is the Audi flagship in the premium class offering the comfort of a luxurious sedan together with sporty handling . Its sophisticated chassis combines high precision with supreme stability and excellent ride characteristics. The Audi A8L impresses with a lightweight aluminum body, powerful and highly efficient engines, an improved Multi Media Interface (MMI) operating system and a luxurious interior. Currently offered locally, it comes with a 3.0 Turbo Diesel Injection engine or with 4.2 Fuel Stratified Injection engine both with 8-speed tiptronic and permanent all wheel quattro@ for both variants.

The quality of workmanship in the A8L is simply first-class with the many interior features it offers.

Upon entry into the Audi A8L, the ambient lighting made of anti-glare LED illuminates the slim, clear outlines of the interior showing the stylish materials used with a modern look. There are three mood lighting choices – Polar (cold white), Ivory (warm white), and Ruby (red) for individualized mood color settings.

Up above , the panoramic glass roof has two glass panels. Both sections can be tilted up and the front can also be opened extra-wide. Sun blinds are provided for both panels to keep out direct sunlight.

This large sedan features an exemplary control concept. Although there are so many functions available, they can be selected in an easily understood, ergonomically correct way. Two large monitor screens, one on the instrument panel and one on the center console, acts as control centers and display their information as high-resolution 3D graphics.

In the multimedia area, Audi can also supply many attractive modules. There is an optional Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System with an output rating of more than 1,400 Watts through 19 speakers, and the Rear Seat Entertainment system. This has an MMI control panel on the console between the rear seats and provides access to all the infotainment functions on board this large luxury sedan.

The full extra length of this sedan benefits rear-seat passengers. The back doors are longer, for even more convenient entry, and the space available inside can only be described as opulent. Rear passenger comfort can be enhanced even more if two separate power-adjustable seats are ordered. These can be heated, ventilated and adjusted in a variety of ways: forward and back, seat cushion depth and seat back angle with top section adjustable separately. There is also a fully adjustable lumbar support. The front passenger’s seat can also be moved from the rear if extra space is needed.

Another high-end feature of the long-wheelbase Audi A8L 4-seater Highline model are the electrically adjustable reclining seats for the rear passengers. The occupant can be massaged by ten air-filled compartments; four programs can be selected via remote control.
