DETAILS ABOUT THE CAR:
This is the all-new redesigned 2022 Audi A8 and A8 S-Line luxury sedan. Checkout interior, exterior design, features, driving in this video.
Audi’s answer to the Mercedes-Benz S-class is the 2022 A8 sedan. It offers a spacious interior and every conceivable luxury and convenience feature, which helps justify its nearly six-figure starting price. The A8’s styling is expertly rendered to look ritzy but restrained, and fans of the smaller A4 and A6 sedans will find the A8 handsome. Its cabin, however, is far more comfortable than those four doors and offers similar space and features as the S-class and the BMW 7-series, the Audi’s other natural rival. Massaging seats for both front and rear passengers are available and Audi also includes a host of driver-assists as standard. Drivers looking for more oomph should consider the performance-oriented S8 model.
What’s New for 2022?
Audi’s flagship sedan receives a styling makeover for 2022 which includes a new grille, re-worked front and rear bumpers, revised exterior lighting elements, and updated wheel designs. An S line exterior appearance package is now available, too, which makes the A8 look a little bit more like the performance-oriented S8 model. Inside, new rear entertainment displays are now optional and Audi has added some new interior trim options to the spec sheet.
2022 Audi A8 Price:
2022 Audi A8 55 TFSI — $90,000 (est)
2022 Audi A8 60 TFSI e — $100,000 (est)
2022 Audi A8 60 TFSI — $105,000 (est)
The base 55 TFSI comes with a turbocharged V-6 rated at 335 horsepower, and the 60 TFSI has a 453-hp twin-turbo V-8 engine. Both versions use a 48-volt hybrid system. An eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive are standard. The plug-in hybrid 60 TFSI e combines the V-6 with an electric motor and a rear-mounted 14.1-kWh battery pack.
Among six-cylinder executive sedans, that’s on par with the Mercedes-Benz S450 but a few tenths off the rapid pace of the BMW 740i.
The A8 offers a very Audi-like blend of athleticism and ride comfort. An adjustable air suspension and driver-adjustable adaptive dampers are standard. Optional with the V-8 is a more advanced active suspension that scans the road ahead for bumps and takes measures to compensate. With the base suspension, the Audi A8 isolates you from road irregularities.
Impressive passenger space is an A8 hallmark, and its long wheelbase ensures that rear-seat passengers are well accommodated. Five-passenger seating is standard, but an optional four-passenger seating package deletes the rear center seat and provides a pair of power-adjustable rear seats with heating, ventilation, and massage as well as a heated foot-massage function and a pair of individual entertainment tablets (while reducing power adjustments for the front passenger seat to make room for all that). Fine materials are in abundance, and you can order up extended leather and a small forest’s worth of wood inlays. But much like the A8’s exterior, the interior ambience is sober and not as lavish as that of the Mercedes S-class. Trunk capacity is modest for a big luxury sedan at just 13 cubic feet.
Audi’s excellent 12.3-inch Virtual Cockpit instrument cluster is standard as are the 10.1-inch upper and 8.6-inch lower haptic center screens with the MMI Touch Response system.
The S8 is powered by a 563bhp 4.0-litre petrol V8, while the engine options in the regular A8 are a 282bhp 3.0-litre diesel V6 (badged 50 TDI), a 339bhp 3.0-litre petrol V6 (55 TFSI) and a plug-in hybrid (60 TFSIe), which pairs the same petrol V6 with a 126bhp electric motor. The 60 TFSIe can officially travel up to 36 miles on electric power alone – eight miles further than its pre-facelift equivalent.
Every A8 has Audi’s quattro four-wheel-drive system, which provides impressive all-weather traction and reassurance. Four-wheel steering is an option on lesser models, and standard on Vorsprung trim and the S8.
