Used 2019 Audi A8 Sedan Trims Comparison

A turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 (60 TFSI Quattro) is also available and produces 453 hp and 487 lb-ft of torque. Every A8 is equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive as standard.

As you'd expect, standard equipment for the A8 is plentiful. It comes with 19-inch wheels, an adaptive air suspension, LED headlights and taillights, heated and power-folding mirrors, auto-dimming mirrors, parking sensors, a rearview camera, power door closers, a power trunklid, and keyless ignition and entry.

Inside, you get four-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, extended leather interior trim, 22-way power-adjustable front seats (with heating and four-way lumbar adjustment), front-seat memory settings, a panoramic sunroof, a power-adjustable steering wheel, and power rear sunshades.

Standard electronic equipment includes Audi's new dual-screen MMI infotainment interface, a navigation system, Bluetooth phone and audio, voice controls, and a 17-speaker Bang & Olufsen surround-sound audio system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility and satellite radio.

Many of the A8's options are grouped into packages. The Executive package includes multicontour front seats (with ventilation and massage), a heated steering wheel, a top-view parking camera, a head-up display, Audi Pre Sense Basic and Rear (a system that pre-tensions the seat belts and closes the windows if it senses an impending collision), Audi Side Assist (a similar system but for side-impact collisions) with rear cross-traffic assist, and wireless smartphone-charging capabilities.

Nearly every other package requires the addition of the Executive package first, so they build from there. Highlights include the Driver Assistance package (adaptive cruise control and active lane keeping assist) and the Luxury package (simulated-suede headliner, additional leather-wrapped interior surfaces, a multicolor ambient lighting display, and an upgraded cabin air filter with fragrance control).

For enhanced rear passenger comfort, Audi offers the Rear Seat Comfort package (rear-seat heating, ventilation and massage), the Rear Seat Connectivity package (which includes two tablet-style rear displays) and the Executive Rear Seat Comfort package (even more leather, folding tables for the rear seats, and a rear-passenger footrest with a massage function).
