Which S8 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The only available trim is the S8, though there are plenty of additional packages for your consideration. We would choose the Executive package to get a solid collection of advanced driver assist features. On top of that, the Comfort Plus package upgrades your interior headliner, gives your rear passengers heated seats and adds a head-up display.
