Both belong to the top of the German car architecture and due to their monstrously powerful diesel more than enough torque: the Audi A8 3.0 TDI Clean Diesel and Mercedes S 350 Bluetec. But which corresponds to the ideal of the luxury liner at best?
Maximum torque: 620 Nm. Peak: 250 km / h. Zero to 100 km / h in less than seven seconds. Does that sound like the base model? Given just enumerated authoritarianism data of Mercedes S 350 Bluetec not really, right? The same applies to the Audi A8 3.0 TDI Clean Diesel with its hardly less impressive 580 Nm. Both of the diesel models may represent the most efficient way to drive the most expensive sedan in the respective brands. But instead Dredger basis they give clearly plump Car delicatessen.
Base engines provide plenty of torque
Similarly, on the wrong track by the way the lure appendage and Bluetec clean diesel. Who eco-blandness expected here, only has to be short of gas and is overcome in the S-Class as well as in the A8 from the noise of the torque - it can be overwhelming and bring a queasy feeling quite uninitiated.
The Audi accelerates slightly better than the Mercedes S-Class, is due to its lower weight and is worth no more than a side note. Both luxury liner set speed instantly wishes into reality. The Mercedes S350 Bluetec acts conspicuous effortlessly, leave its three-liter V6 only whisper discreetly, while the equally large Audi TDI may growl under full load before aggressive.
Audi A8 is Propelled Agile Itself
This underlines the Audi A8 its active character. It speaks up, gets involved into the action and its passengers more involved: the passengers, because they know a lot more details on the state of the road, adjacent to the pace and the wind as the Mercedes. And the driver, because the Audi curves with performance-Ernst terms: gathered and compressed. Anyone who is looking for a particularly agile luxury sedan likely to be happy with the Audi - on the road as well as in winter because standard all four wheels are driven.
Graceful Floating in the Mercedes S-class
On the highway the persistent lack of straight-line of Mercedes S-class. In addition, the A8 looks pragmatic and loses part of the appeal of the luxury class: the voluptuous. Long distances can be overcome in the Audi very pleasant, and complaints about the ride comfort are likely to give it hardly. Alone it feel to be on the road in a league of its own is missing.
The graceful hovering a chauffeur limousine just provides only the Mercedes S-class. The air suspension takes many irregularities not only the top - but the same existence.
Mercedes S-Class Scores for Safety And Comfort
The Audi A8 excels only at the driving characteristics. But the Mercedes S 350 brings in the property valuation four of five chapters, including for security. Almost everything that is currently feasible and sensible appears to prevent an accident or to deprive it of the severity is to have either standard or extra cost.
