It’s time for the age-old German ultra-luxury sedan comparison. Should you go for the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class? Should you instead go for the sportier 7 Series? Or maybe you should get a mix between the two, namely the Audi A8? Well, the answer to such questions has never been easy, and the guys from Caronphone set out to find out which one is better.
The A8, the 7 Series, and the S-Class are all designed for rear-seat passengers. All three are also effectively the flagship models of their respective manufacturers.
These three luxury flagship sedans have seen a major overhaul, and it is only fair to pit them against each other in a comparison.
