Overview
Who wouldn't want some extra attitude in their luxury sedan? That suitably describes the 2023 Audi S8. To create it, Audi takes its baseline Audi A8, drops in a turbocharged 563-horsepower V8 engine and sprinkles some additional performance parts throughout. The V8 is powerful even among its sport luxury competitors, and Audi sedans are known for their well-rounded driving characteristics. It's a recipe for excitement in the upper management parking lot, to say the least.

Audi issued a styling refresh for the S8 in 2022, along with some new standard features. As a result the 2023 S8 carries on nearly unchanged. The S8 is subtle enough to deflect attention, while sharp-eyed observers will notice details that hint at the performance underneath. Overall, we think the S8 is a smart pick for a performance-oriented luxury sedan, though the BMW 7 Series, Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Porsche Panamera are certainly worth checking out as well.
2023 Audi S8 trim level differences
The 2023 Audi S8 is a large luxury sport sedan with four doors and seating for four or five passengers. There is only one trim level that's powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine (563 horsepower, 590 lb-ft of torque) paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is standard. Standard and optional feature highlights include: Compare the 2023 Audi S8 trim levels in-depth.
Which S8 trim does Edmunds recommend?
There's only one trim level, and luckily the S8 comes well equipped with luxury features. But we especially like the Executive package with 21-inch wheels and extensive advanced driver assist features. If it was a particularly good year at the firm, the Comfort Plus package takes the experience to another level with Audi's Matrix LED headlights and upgraded materials inside.

Best Sedan I Have Ever Owned
5 out of 5 starsK.S., 10/28/2021
2020 Audi S8 4dr Sedan AWD (4.0L 8cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)
I have owned my 2020 S8 for about one month so far. Coming from the previous general A8. I have owned S-class & BMW's. I can't tell you how fun this machine is to drive. It hauls butt like nothing else. It is like having a supercar in the comfort of a luxury sedan. Sure, it's big and isn't flat around corners, but for it's size, it handles the road well. Get it on the freeway, … mash the accelerator and you are off like a rocket. And it sounds tough too, without being too loud. There just aren't many cars on the road that can keep up. Audi say 0-60 is 3.8, but R&T says 3.2.
The suspension is tight in dynamic mode and does a great job of eliminating the bumps in comfort+ mode. Overall, the suspension does a great job of keeping the car planted and keeping the ride comfortable.
The interior is a huge upgrade from the previous generation. Once you get to know the system, it is thought out and works well. I looked at a 911, but the comfort of the seats and spaciousness of the cabin won me over. I haven't looked back since.
If you are considering an S-class or BMW, or even an A8, I highly suggest you test drive an S8. It will change your commute into a joy.
S8 - A classic V8
5 out of 5 starsMike Steffes, 08/01/2022
2021 Audi S8 4dr Sedan AWD (4.0L 8cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)
My '21 S8 is quick, smooth and sporty and at the same time elegant, roomy and comfortable. So you get the benefits of both performance and luxury. Sometimes that's a tough balancing act but Audi found the sweet spot with the S8.
Originally I had planned on replacing my '09 A8 with a new A8 turbo and found out Audi discontinued that engine option for the vehicle in '23. As a result, I had … planned to order a '23 S8 with the V8 turbo and then have a long wait to get the car. In spite of this world of low inventory, my local Audi dealer found a low mileage '21 S8. The car is pristine and amazing to drive. The style, the trim and the technology are all world class. I entitled my review classic V8 because as we transition to an electric world it looks like V8s are going to be one of the first casualties. So I concluded now was the time to buy one as later model S8s are hard to find. Glad I made the move!
2023 S8

2023 Audi S8 4dr Sedan AWD (4.0L 8cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)
Land yacht that performs like a nimble sports car. After checking out all the comparables, the sheer performance and muted styling won me over. I've driven them all - but nothing really compares. I have the all-blacked out version and my favorite part is that virtually nobody knows what this car is, which I really like with today's preference for more in-your-face super sedans. …

2020 Audi S8 4dr Sedan AWD (4.0L 8cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)
A scientific marvel!
At first it seemed so much larger and technologically intimidating than my previous gen S8 I felt dwarfed. However after a few days becoming acclimated we bonded. Whether driving, or being driven in one of the safest, most comfortable automobiles on the road you are completely insulated.
I've owned/own numerous exotics and performance sedans. This car is a bargain.

Our experts like the S8 models:
- Audi Parking System Plus
- Helps take the guesswork out of parking by providing a bird's-eye view image of the S8 at low speeds.
- Audi Side Assist
- Alerts you when a vehicle is in the S8's blind spot. Also works while the vehicle is parked so you don't open your door into traffic.
