The 82 jury members from 24 countries assessed not only the emotional appeal, passenger comfort and safety, but also environment aspects, driving performance, market relevance and price-performance ratio.
The Audi A8 has been voted as the World Luxury Car 2018. The award ceremony took place today at the New York Auto Show.
In their decision, the 82 jury members from 24 countries assessed not only the emotional appeal, passenger comfort and safety, but also environment aspects as well as driving performance, market relevance and price-performance ratio. The Audi A8 prevailed against two competitors in the final elimination round. This marks the ninth overall victory for Audi in the World Car Awards.
“This award is a special honor for us and our flagship,” explained Peter Mertens, Board Member for Development at AudiAG. “The new Audi A8 is an innovation driver for our entire industry. It sets new standards in automotive engineering with its innovative touch control system, consistent, broad electrification and the technical conditions for conditional automated driving.”
The Audi A8 is being built at the Neckarsulm site and has been available in dealerships since November 2017. In addition to its select materials and handcrafted-level build quality, its highlights include high-end equipment like the HD Matrix LED headlights with Audi laser light, dynamic all-wheel steering and the relaxation rear seat package with foot massage.
