What are the differences between Audi A8 Quattro and Audi A8 Hybrid?

I'm considering purchasing an Audi A8 and I'm not sure if I should get theQuattro or Hybrid model. What are the key differences between the two in terms of performance and fuel efficiency?

The Audi A8 Quattro is an all-wheel drive system while the Hybrid is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). The Quattro offers better traction and handling, while the Hybrid provides electric-only driving for short distances. It ultimately depends on your driving needs and preferences.

The A8 Quattro uses a 3.0-liter TFSI engine with an 8-speed Tiptronic transmission, while the Hybrid uses a 3.0-liter TFSI engine, electric motor, and a lithium-ion battery. The Quattro has a higher horsepower and torque, while the Hybrid has a better fuel economy.

While the A8 Quattro has a starting price of $85,200, the Hybrid has a starting price of $97,300. However, the Hybrid is eligible for government incentives and tax credits, which can offset the higher upfront cost in the long run. It's important to consider your budget and financial goals before making a decision.
