Which 2025 S8 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The 2025 Audi S8 comes in only one trim with multiple packages and stand-alone options. If you live in a cold climate, we recommend opting for available all-season tires at no cost to replace the standard summer tires. The Executive package adds adaptive cruise and other features, which should really be standard on the S8. We'd add it to our S8.
