2 Answers
Audi A8 weighs approximately 1930-2185 kilograms. The following is a related introduction about the Audi A8. Body dimensions: The body dimensions of the Audi A8 are 5267 mm × 1949 mm × 1460 mm, with a wheelbase of 3128 mm. Such a long body and wheelbase give the Audi A8 an ultra-spacious interior. Vehicle positioning: The Audi A8 is the top luxury car in the Audi lineup, positioned in the market to compete with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7 Series. The Audi A8 was the first to use an all-aluminum body, which is not only durable but also reduces body weight, providing the car with more powerful performance.
I've driven quite a few Audi models, and the A8 probably weighs around 2000 kg. Its top-tier luxury feel makes it exceptionally stable at high speeds—the heavy body and low drag coefficient mean it doesn’t feel floaty when you push it. But in city traffic with all the stop-and-go, fuel consumption easily exceeds 10 liters, which can be tough on the wallet. I’ve chatted with friends about this; the weight comes from its all-aluminum body and a ton of tech features like heated seats and smart driving aids. They add heft but pay off in comfort—though you’ve got to be extra careful parking to avoid scraping walls. Compared to the BMW 7 Series or Mercedes S-Class, which also tip the scales near two tons, Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive might add a bit more refinement. Sure, the weight slightly dulls acceleration, but for long hauls, it’s effortless and never leaves you feeling drained.
