The 2002 Audi A8 (D2 Platform) was the final year for this first-generation A8. Standard features included Xenon headlights, a heated steering wheel, and a tyre pressure monitoring system. Like all models in this generation, it featured an aluminum space frame body, a lightweight and rigid design and available engines were the 2.8, 3.7, and 4.2 litre petrol engines. Most models came with the Quattro 4-wheel drive and a ZF 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission with paddle shift controls. The car's aluminum construction makes it lighter than rivals of the era, and its all-wheel-drive system ensures stable and composed handling. The ride is described as comfortable and refined, though some reviewers noted it could be a bit firm. Interior and features: Luxurious cabin: The D2 A8 features a spacious and high-quality interior with standard leather upholstery and automatic air conditioning. The 2002 A8 is a worthwhile purchase for those who appreciate understated luxury and strong performance. For the price of a far more pedestrian new car, a used A8 offers a quiet, comfortable, and luxurious cabin with a powerful engine and confident handling, especially in quattro-equipped models. However, potential buyers should be prepared for the financial reality of owning a 20+ year-old German luxury car, including higher running costs and the possibility of expensive repairs.
