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.
