2022 Audi A8 lineup slims down, gets a little fancier:
Audi decided to rationalize its 2022 A8 lineup, handing S8 buyers a huge discount over 2021 in the process. Instead of last year's four trims and four engine specifications, the new range includes merely two of each. The A8 60 series is gone, taking its six-cylinder PHEV powertrain and its lesser-powered V8 with it. There's the carryover, entry-level A8 L 55 with a 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder making 335 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque.
The U.S. launch means we're getting the refreshed design launched in Europe three months ago. The A8 receives a redesigned front end characterized by more precise matrix LED headlights, a wider, reshaped grille that ditches the horizontal slats in favor of a repeating, angular pattern and a sportier-looking bumper. In our market, the A8 will come standard with Audi's S Line exterior package, making the grille black and affixing a muscular body kit.
The A8 rides on five-spoke 19-inchers on all-season tires out of the factory, 20- and 21-inch rims can be specced. The S8 starts with five-double-spoke 20-inchers on summer tires, with 21-inch units available. Most of the changes made to the carryover interior are tech- or comfort-related. The Audi E-Tron GT contributes its Dynamica microfiber to the headliner, door, and interior trim assuming the correct options are chosen.
