About the Audi A8

Now in its fourth generation, the 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. Every element of the A8 has been painstakingly engineered to deliver superior refinement and improved efficiency. ASF® multi-material frame technology is used in the body composition of the A8, using 58 percent aluminum parts paired with hot-form steel and ultra-high strength carbon fiber reinforced polymer components. As an end result, these advancements provide stiffer body rigidity, improved handling, and help create a luxurious environment inside for both drivers and passengers. 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.

What the Critics Say

"Impressive passenger space is an A8 hallmark, and its long wheelbase ensures that rear-seat passengers are well accommodated. Fine materials are in abundance, and you can order up extended leather and a small forest's worth of wood inlays." - Car and Driver

"On the right road, and in the right conditions, the A8 is nearly as good as they come, offering supremely comfortable seats for all passengers. The Luxury package adds ventilation and massage for the outboard rear seats so even backseat occupants are treated to a first-class experience." - Edmunds

What's New for 2026

Only a handful of minor changes have been made to the flagship sedan of the Audi lineup. For 2026, the Audi A8 is now available with a new Daytona Gray pearl effect exterior color. Additionally, the features contained in the Luxury package and Executive package have been consolidated into the all-new Executive plus package. Lastly, a new 21-inch Neodymium gold set of alloy wheels is now available for the optional Black optic package.

Audi A8 Features

Its confident proportions help enhance the front and rear wheel arches, indicating the superior capability offered by the standard quattro® all-wheel drive system. Available Digital Matrix-design LED headlights along with rear lamps featuring OLED technology for superior clarity and illumination.

Technology

Replacing the previous generation's rotary/push button control and touchpad is the MMI touch response® system featuring a 10.1-inch touchscreen display that blends almost invisibly into the high-gloss black surround. Improved Audi connect services now include a HERE-powered map and navigation system. This sophisticated system has the ability to learn over time through driven routes in order to provide smarter route guidance suggestions.

Performance

Engineered to combine efficiency with smooth power delivery, the Audi A8 is powered by your choice of either a standard 335-horsepower 3.0-liter TFSI V6 turbocharged engine. You'll have complete command of all types of road conditions with standard quattro® all-wheel drive and a self-locking center differential. Other cutting-edge aspects of the chassis and ride experience of the A8 are made possible by an active electromechanical suspension and dynamic all-wheel steering.

Driver Assistance

Raising the benchmark for a full-size luxury sedan, the Audi A8 is available with a wide assortment of driver assistance and convenience features. Included on the A8 are stress reducing adaptive cruise assist, advanced collision mitigation and cross traffic assist, and an advanced intersection assist.
