Pros
  • Superb suspension setup all-around
  • Amazing 4.2 TDI and W12 engines
  • Class-leading interior appointment
  • Good 0.27 drag coefficient
  • Good towing capacity
  • M279 made the V12 bi-turbo even more reliable
  • Predictive MBC hydraulic suspension replaced ABC
  • Powerful and robust M278/M157 V8
  • All engines still available with RWD
Cons
  • Arguably worse styling than pre-facelift
  • Still very nose heavy
  • Unreliable range of FSI engines
  • Use of CVT for FWD
  • Too many electronic gimmicks?
  • Generic exterior styling
  • Too many displays inside
