7 Series v S-Class v A8: Which is best?

These are three of the most luxurious cars you can buy in 2023 - the Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7 Series and Audi A8! The question is, if you’re in the market for a luxury limousine, which should you choose?

Well worry no more! Mat’s here to get hands on with all three cars to find out which should be crowned the must-have luxury limo!

One area where these three cars are pretty evenly matched is the quality of their interiors. All three come packed with high-quality, soft touch materials throughout, and they all come with super comfortable seats whether you’re sat in the front or back. However, there are a couple of notable differences…

For example, sit in the back of the 7 Series, and you’re treated to an absolutely HUGE infotainment screen for rear seat passengers - it’s like you’re sat in your own cinema! You’ll find screens in the back seats of the A8, too, but they are a whole lot smaller than the BMW’s. And when it comes to the S-Class, you don’t even get a screen! Thankfully though the massive infotainment screen at the front kind of makes up for this.

When it comes to performance, the most powerful car here is the BMW. We’ve got our hands on the M760e edition, which means it comes with a 3-litre turbo petrol engine coupled with an electric motor, which combine to produce 571hp and 800Nm of torque.

The second most powerful car is the S-Class, which s the S580e edition. It comes with a 3-litre straight-six turbo engine and an electric motor, and they combine to put down 510hp and 750Nm. Then finally we have the A8, which in this instance is the 60 TFSI e. Under the bonnet you’ll find a 3-litre V6 coupled with an electric motor, which can produce 462hp and 700Nm.

So they’re all luxurious, and they’re all packed with tech. The question is, which is best?! Well there’s only one way to find out for sure - stick with Mat for this all-new group test!
