About the All-New Audi A8

Debuting its fourth generation, the all-new Audi A8 brings in a new area of design and style which places strong emphasis on striking elegance. Sitting atop the Audi sedan lineup, the A8 blends advanced technology with meticulous craftsmanship.

Exhilarating performance, groundbreaking technology, and superb comfort combine to help the Audi A8 maintain its position as a leader in the full size luxury sedan segment.

Included on the A8 are stress reducing adaptive cruise assist, advanced collision mitigation and cross traffic assist, and an advanced intersection assist. Providing drivers with an intelligent approach to parking assistance, Audi AI park pilot and the Audi AI garage pilot systems can step in and take control while the driver monitors the action. Making history upon its arrival, the 2019 Audi A8 is the first production automobile developed specifically for Level 3 autonomous driving. When equipped with Audi AI traffic jam pilot, this feature can handle driving in slow-moving traffic at speeds up to 37 MPH on freeways and highways where a physical barrier separates directional traffic.
