Pros

Impeccably crafted cabin
Impressive interior technology
Responsive steering and cornering for a big sedan

Cons

Infotainment interface can be tough to learn
Powertrain is a little unrefined
Ride is too floaty at high speeds and bumpy around town

What's new

Some previously optional features are now standard
Packages consolidated to include more equipment
All-wheel steering added to optional appearance packages
Part of the fourth A8 generation introduced for 2019

The 2021 Audi A8 is a large luxury sedan that sits atop the German automaker's lineup. The A8 was redesigned in 2019 and carries on into 2021 with just a few minor adjustments to options and features. Like other flagship luxury sedans, the Audi A8 is impressively spacious, comfortable and well appointed. It also offers Audi's latest technology features as well as an available plug-in hybrid version.

While there's a lot to like with the A8, it doesn't seem as polished as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or BMW 7 Series. The ride quality, powertrains and infotainment aren't quite on the same level of German rivals, which is a bit of a surprise given how well Audi's smaller sedans otherwise stack up. Is the A8 still worth getting? Check out the categories of our Expert Rating below to read our in-depth evaluation on the 2021 A8.

Edmunds Expert Rating

Our Verdict^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

7.4 /10

At this price, luxury is more than just a state of mind. It's found not only in the wealth of features but also in the way the vehicle behaves and how it can make its occupants forget the stresses of daily life. The Audi A8 has all the trappings of luxury, but it never feels entirely special or cohesive, and it lacks that last little bit of personality and luxury you'll find in other large luxury sedans.

Rated for you by America’s best test team.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the A8 drive? At this level, a car's performance should be almost transparent and allow passengers to enjoy the experience of a true luxury car. But the A8 gets most of its athletic aptitude from optional summer performance tires instead of a more well-rounded approach. The A8 with the base V6 is by no means slow, but that doesn't mean it couldn't do with a little more in the power department. We recommend upgrading to the V8 or plug-in hybrid.

The A8 also comes across as a bit numb and clumsy in aspects that you wouldn't expect it to. The brakes performed well in our panic-stop tests but were jumpy in traffic, making it hard to stop smoothly. The transmission was also slow to downshift when we wanted it to. The A8 is good overall, but there's room for improvement.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the A8? 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 optional four-seat configuration adds adjustable and heated rear seats with a full center console.

But the ride quality can feel decidedly unrefined on less than perfect roads. It can be too soft over dips and crests, resulting in wallowy body motions, but then too firm over potholes and rough surfaces. Other negatives include a climate control that has to work a bit harder than it should have to in a car of this status and more road and engine noise than we'd expect.

Interior

8.0/10

How’s the interior? To put it simply, if Audi retained the use of its old MMI infotainment system, the A8 would have received a higher score. The latest system offers a lot of features, but the learning curve is steep. The new dual touchscreens, though not impossible to figure out, are not intuitive and the screens can look dirty after a day's use. We do, however, like the standard digital instrument cluster.

Visibility and interior space are difficult to fault thanks to the large windows and thin roof pillars. As a result, this large car is relatively easy to park. There's plenty of space, especially for rear passengers. The optional four-seat setup offers the ability to slide the passenger seat forward for more rear legroom.

Technology

8.0/10

How’s the tech? The A8 is definitely impressive to look at and absolutely impressive to listen to. You'd think the A8 should be the runaway class leader when it comes to in-car tech. But some usability issues as well as some conservative tuning with the adaptive cruise control system show there's room for improvement.

We like the standard Bang & Olufsen audio system and Google Earth-based navigation, but we had some graphical glitches in our test car. Voice recognition works well, as does the handwriting recognition system. The driver aids feel slow to respond and can feel behind the beat in traffic.

Storage

7.0/10

How’s the storage? Audi's streamlined styling and optional Executive Rear Seat package take a bit of a toll on cargo capacity for both passengers and trunk space. Both front and rear passengers will need to declutter since there aren't many places to hold small items beyond sunglasses and a smartphone. The trunk can't hold more than a couple of large suitcases.

Fuel Economy

6.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The A8 with the base V6 gets an EPA-estimated 21 mpg in combined city/highway driving. That's right in the mix with other similarly equipped executive sedans. But in our time with our test car, we saw only one tank barely exceed 22 mpg, even though it was made up of mostly highway miles. You might have trouble matching the EPA's numbers in your car.

Value

7.5/10

Is the A8 a good value? Luxury-car buyers are right to expect a lot from their purchase, especially when the price tag exceeds $100,000. The A8 does impress prospective buyers with exceptional build quality. Audi's limited warranty is pretty typical for the segment, and Audi offers four years of roadside assistance with unlimited miles. That's good, but some competitors offer better plans.

Wildcard

6.0/10

The Audi A8 strives to mix Audi's tech-forward heritage and high-end luxury appointments with a touch of sport into a long-wheelbase executive express. But the recipe never feels fully baked, and the A8 winds up feeling only like a bigger Audi instead of a special one.

Which A8 does Edmunds recommend?

Standard equipment is generally the same on all trims, so we suggest going with the 60 TFSI e plug-in hybrid. It's quicker than the V6-powered model and more fuel-efficient than either the V6 or V8.

Audi A8 models

The 2021 A8 comes in three well-equipped trim levels separated by a choice of powertrain: 55 TFSI, 60 TFSI and 60 TFSI e. The only A8 sold in the U.S. is the long-wheelbase A8 L, which provides extra legroom for rear passengers.

55 TFSI
The 55 TFSI uses a 3.0-liter V6-powered (335 horsepower, 369 lb-ft) paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Audi includes even more standard equipment for 2021 than last year's model. Feature highlights include:

19-inch wheels
LED headlights
Soft-close doors (catch as they're being closed and gently pull shut)
Adaptive air suspension
Power-adjustable front seats with heating and cooling
Four-zone automatic climate control
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
Wireless charging pad with Audi phone box signal booster
Digital instrument cluster (Audi's Virtual Cockpit)
Heated and ventilated seats
Panoramic sunroof
360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the A8 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)

There are a handful of options. They include:

Executive Plus package

Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
Lane keeping assist (steers the A8 back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)
Heated armrests
Heated rear outboard seats
Heated steering wheel
Ambient interior lighting
Dual-pane acoustic windows
Massaging front seats
Traffic sign recognition
Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
20-inch wheels

Luxury package

Faux suede headliner
Aluminum buttons
Extended leather upholstery
Rear outboard ventilated and massaging seats
Heated rear armrests
Power rear outboard seats with lumbar and memory function

Black Optic/S Line Plus package

20-inch wheels
Black exterior trim
All-wheel steering

The 60 TFSI swaps a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 (453 hp, 487 lb-ft) in place of the V6. Standard features mirror the 55 TFSI, with the addition of a Bang & Olufsen audio system that's otherwise optional on the 55 TFSI.

The 60 TFSI e uses a turbocharged V6 plug-in hybrid (443 hp, 516 lb-ft). Options mirror those on the 60 TFSI.

2019 Audi A8 Debut

[MUSIC PLAYING] MARK TAKAHASHI: Hey, everybody. We're in Barcelona where we just checked out the unveiling of Audi's 2019 A8, their flagship luxury sedan. And there's a lot riding on it, obviously. The big news, though, is how much technology they packed into it. It's going to be a class three, semi-autonomous vehicle that means it will literally drive itself with little interaction needed from the driver. It's also completely redesigned, nose to tail. All new style that kind of adopts Audi's latest design language, which I'm actually a fan of. It's got these sharp creases from nose to tail. Even though the grill is a little too big, maybe a little too angular for my taste, that's up to you to decide. The interior is also very much Audi, minimalist, sophisticated, but still packed with a ton of features. It's going to have these two large touch screens, and we've had a bit of a love/hate relationship with some of those large touchscreens, but these actually show some promise. There's going to be some haptic feedback and the buttons are actually pretty large and easy to use. Elsewhere in the interior, it's got that lovely simplistic, yet sophisticated look. It's a really wide horizontal look for the dash with impeccable materials. These wonderful matte [? open pore ?] wood trim. As we would expect from any luxury flagship sedan, comfort is paramount. And much like Mercedes magic ride suspension, the Audi will react before it gets to an imperfection in the road, and adapt and counteract whatever action it's going to cause. So if it senses a pothole coming up, it will just glide right over it like it didn't exist. Initially when these come out in 2018, as a 2019 model, they're going to be a mild hybrid, probably with a V-6 that's turbocharged, but there will be other versions to follow. From a plug-in hybrid, all the way to the W12, which probably is going to be my choice, if you ask me. Also available will be a four wheel steering to help this big car maneuver in tight spaces. In addition to four wheel steering, it will also have self-parking capability where you won't even have to be in the car to have it parallel park or perpendicular park itself. So it's been said that [? Fortune ?] favors the bold and Audi is certainly being bold with this new A8. There's a lot riding on it, and I have to say, I'm hopeful that they can fulfill all of these promises.

Audi A8 vs. the competition

2021 Audi A8

2020 Mercedes-Benz S-Class

Audi A8 vs. Mercedes-Benz S-Class

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been the segment benchmark for years. While an all-new S-Class is on the way, the outgoing model is still well worth a look. It's loaded with tech, and the spacious and comfortable interior is one of the most premium of any car on sale today. That said, the S-Class is significantly more expensive than the A8 and lacks the Audi's standard all-wheel drive.

Compare Audi A8 & Mercedes-Benz S-Class features

Audi A8 vs. BMW 7 Series

Like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the BMW 7 Series has been an icon in this segment for decades. It's spacious, comfortable and well appointed. It's also loaded with all the latest tech on offer from BMW. Like the A8, it's available with a variety of powertrains, including a plug-in hybrid. It lacks the Audi's standard all-wheel drive, but its smooth engines, spacious interior and refined ride all put it ahead of the A8 in our rankings.

Compare Audi A8 & BMW 7 Series features

Audi A8 vs. Lexus LS 500

The Lexus LS 500, for better or worse, eschews sporty driving dynamics in favor of comfort and refinement. It doesn't feel as athletic or quick as the A8, but we found the LS 500's ride to be smooth and buttoned-down when compared to the stiff Audi. Lexus doesn't offer a V8 or plug-in hybrid, but if that's not a concern, you can get into a well-equipped LS for less money than a base A8.

Should I lease or buy a 2021 Audi A8?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
