Audi's flagship sedan is the A8. The A8 stands apart from other large luxury sedans with its all-aluminum construction and standard all-wheel-drive. The A8 is offered in two lengths. At 202 inches in length, the standard A8 is no small car, but the longer A8L adds another 5 inches of wheelbase and length. This greatly increases legroom in the second row of seats. Although the A8 is loaded with standard features and amenities, it offers a healthy list of options and packages to allow owners to customize it as far as their budgets will allow. Notable options include a panoramic sunroof, four-zone climate control, power-closing doors and a 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system.

What Changed:

Restyled for 2011, the new Audi A8 has grown in length and width. The new styling is familiar but overall more stylish than the prior generation. On the inside, a new interior features a more interesting instrument panel and exaggerated center console. All A8s are powered by a 4.2l V8 that is more powerful than before.
