2025 Audi A8 Trims Comparison

Which 2025 A8 trim does Edmunds recommend?

When buying an Audi A8, you don't choose a trim level because the car exits the factory in a single configuration: L 55 TFSI Quattro. So, the question of "which" A8 to get pertains to option packages, and we think you'll want the Executive package at a minimum. It adds higher-quality leather and numerous technology upgrades that should be standard on a car priced at nearly $100,000.

2025 A8 trim level differences

The 2025 Audi A8 comes one way, with an L 55 TFSI Quattro model designation. The L refers to the car's long-wheelbase body style, while the 55 TFSI represents the turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 (335 horsepower, 369 lb-ft) engine and eight-speed automatic transmission. The Quattro designation signals the car's standard all-wheel-drive system.
