2022 Audi A8 vs. 2022 Lexus LS
The 2022 Audi A8 is an executive level automobile, with a posh and high tech cabin, impeccable safety scores and unbelievable power. But what happens when it faces off against the 2022 Lexus LS, a formidable car with an exquisite appearance, pampering cabin and brutal performance?
Design & Style
The full sized Lexus LS comes complete with updated headlights and moderate under hood alterations which are designed to make it quieter. A hybrid option is now available and the exterior is sleek with four doors. Within the cabin passengers will be treated to amenities such as finely cut glass, multiple forms of wooden trim and polished aluminum. The seats are well padded and feel great to sit in.
The Audi A8 has an elegant and conservative appearance, with a wide black grille in front and horizontal LED headlights. The engineers did a wonderful job of combining comfort, performance and luxury within a single package. The powered seats can be adjusted twenty two different ways and cooled or heated. They can also provide soothing back massages after a long day. This combined with the forty four inches for leg room means anyone lucky enough to be driven in this vehicle will enjoy a royal experience.
Technology & Safety
The Audi A8 is equipped with all the modern features that one would expect, such as parking sensors and automated emergency brakes. But it also has a proprietary mechanism called Predictive Active suspension where passengers will receive enhanced protection in the event of a side impact. The sensors will recognize the incoming collision and a suspension will automatically elevate the car side three inches that way the lower structure will absorb much of the damage while dissipating force. Luxuries within the Audi A8 include Valetta leather, panoramic sunroof, multizone climate control and audio from Bang & Olufsen.
The Lexus LS comes with many of the safety features found in the Audi, but offers nothing resembling Predictive Active suspension. Its cabin luxuries include 12 inch touch displays, leather seats that can be heated or cooled, the option of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and Kiriko Glass Trim. Its seats also provide back massages and can be powered twenty eight different ways.
Performance
Those that purchase the Lexus LS 500 will get a V6, dual turbocharged engine that can generate 416 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in 5.3 seconds. Those that purchase the Audi S8 will get a V8, dual turbo engine that can generate 563 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in 3.8 seconds.
The Bottom Line
The Audi A8 eviscerates the Lexus LS when it comes to performance, and does a much better job of protecting its passengers during collisions, which makes it the winner.
