The turbocharged 3.0-liter diesel six-cylinder makes 240 horsepower and 406 pounds-feet of torque. It’s the huge torque — helped by an eight-speed automatic transmission — that moves this 4,500-pound, extended-wheelbase land yacht effortlessly. Acceleration is brisk and buttery smooth, as you’d expect from a luxury car, though passing at 60 mph doesn’t have quite the punch it does at lower speeds. Audi says zero to 60 mph comes in a very believable 6.4 seconds, which is the slowest A8 by almost a full second, though not pokey by any means.  Of course, the main highlight of the new diesel engine is fuel economy.

The A8 L TDI doesn’t disappoint, with big EPA estimates — its 28 mpg combined rating is the same as a four-cylinder Toyota Camry — that are repeatable in the real world. I drove the A8 347 miles in mixed conditions and returned 29.8 mpg, with speeds averaging 30 mph. Highway speeds, though, are where the A8 L TDI hits its mileage sweet spot; while cruising at 65 mph, I easily reached the highway rating of 36 mpg. Rush-hour traffic is a different story; I averaged an abysmal 15.1 mpg on a drive that took an hour and nine minutes to travel 11 miles, averaging 9 mph.
