Audi recently revealed a slightly upgraded A8 luxury sedan. Basically, it is the next installment after the fourth generation 8. Some changes include regular OLED taillights, airway grille, and new headlights.
It comes with a dynamic front design. The headlights use digital Matrix LED technology. The lower edge of the headlights creates a contour over the vertical air intakes. At the rear of the vehicle, it has OLED taillights.
The S8 comes with three light signature styles, unlike the other variants that offer only two. On the S8, if you opt for dynamic mode, the backlights will become the exclusive dynamic signature. In addition, you also have the proximity indicator. And the functions include dynamic turn signals.
In the A8, Audi offers the S appearance unit. If you prefer a sportier look, you may not get much dynamism with SE dance. But you can customize and do a mix of the optional black and S experience packages. You might like the chrome package if you prefer trim that’s pretty prominent. When it comes to exterior paint options, you can choose from Ultra Blue, Manhattan Grey, Sky Blue and District Green Metallic.
The interior comes with a high quality configurable material. In addition, there is a wide range of equipment and seed designs. Additionally, the cabin uses Audi’s MMI system and features a pair of touch screens. One screen is 8.6 inches and the other is 10.1 inches.
The virtual cockpit is fully digital if you prefer a digital gauge cluster. So the navigation system is the next level. If you are an audiophile, you can enjoy your playlist on this powerful sound system. Furthermore, the actual compartment is also quite stylish, especially if you go for the A8 L model. These hidden feature options are plentiful. The center console is stretched. Also, the footrest can warm and massage your feet.
In this vehicle, rear passengers can enjoy their favorite content on a beautiful 10.1-inch screen mounted on the front seat backs. In addition, they can get a body massage and enjoy a cold drink at the same time. They can also be displayed on tables. Additionally, there is an air quality package that comes with a fragrance system, which is optional.
For climate control, there is a 4-zone air conditioning system. In addition, the head restraints and seats are electrically adjustable. In case you didn’t know, there is an extremely luxurious A8 version that will be available for purchase only in China.
The A8 L Horch targets the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class. Furthermore, the A8 features an extended wheelbase along with a stylish interior. In other words, the interior includes an expanded panoramic roof, high-pile methods, embossed logos, diamond-pattern quilting, and soft cushions.
For the US market, the powertrain options will be the same. It includes both the twin-turbocharged V-8 that produces 590 lb-ft of torque and the hybrid V-6. The 2022 Audi A8 will go on sale in December in the UK. The price of the base unit is $115,000 while the price of the S variant is $168,000.
