Audi A8
Audi’s full-size luxury sedan as we know it appears to be heading into retirement, with an electric successor set to take its place shortly. Unchanged since 2022, the A8 is available with two engines including a 3.0-litre V6 producing 335 horsepower and a 4.0-litre V8 that endows the sportier S8 model with 563 horsepower. All models sold in Canada now come with an extended wheelbase. The shorter variant was eliminated several years ago.
