Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Audi A8 than the Acura TLX, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Acura TLX and the Audi A8 in the front seats.

Convenience
With the Audi A8 you will definitely be making less frequent stops at the gas station than with the Acura TLX, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Based on MSRP, the Acura TLX is clearly a better financial choice over the Audi A8.

Dimensions
The Acura TLX is a little narrower than the Audi A8, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. If you go with the Acura TLX, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Audi A8.

Handling
The Acura TLX has a smaller turning radius than the Audi A8, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Acura TLX has less horsepower than the Audi A8, so it will probably be somewhat slower.

Powertrain
The Acura TLX has much less torque than the Audi A8, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Acura TLX and the Audi A8.
