2020 Audi S8 for sale – The 2020 Audi S8 packs a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V-8 engine that’s supplemented by a 48-volt mild hybrid system. Output comes to 563 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. Compare that to the Audi A8 L 60 TFSI Quattro, which also has a hybridized twin-turbo 4.0-litre V-8 but makes only 453 hp and 487 lb-ft of torque. For speed freaks with a penchant for comfort and luxury, there are few flagship sedans that do it as well as the 2021 Audi S8.

2020 Audi S8

With a twin-turbocharged V-8 quietly toiling away under the hood, the S8 can effortlessly blast you and three others to high speeds. And when the going gets twisty, Audi’s big four-door can gobble pavement at an eye-opening pace. Based on the more mellow A8 luxury sedan, the S8 receives a performance suspension, upgraded brakes, and a punchier powertrain, but its exterior styling barely whispers “high-performance”—which makes it a stealth bomber for the road. Inside, the S8 offers just as much space and as many creature comforts as rivals such as the BMW 7-series and the Mercedes-Benz S-class, including massaging front and rear seats, the latest in infotainment features, high-quality materials, and excellent fit and finish.

Fuel Economy

As with many mid-size luxury sedans, the 2020 Audi A6 isn’t a fuel economy standout, but the addition of a thriftier engine helps things this year. We give it 5 out of 10 here.

The base turbo-4 version of the A6, new for 2020, manages an impressive 24 mpg city, 32 highway, 27 combined, while the V-6 model makes only 22/29/24 mpg. The latter includes a mild-hybrid system that aids the smoothness of the stop/start programming.

The A6 Allroad’s tall stance and wagon body dent fuel economy down to 20/26/22 mpg. The S6 drops further to 18/28/22 mpg.

Premium fuel is required no matter the engine, so expect an increase in costs at the pump accordingly.
