2026 Audi A8
The Audi A8 is a testament to Audi’s unwavering dedication to luxury and craftsmanship. In its fourth generation, the brand’s flagship full-size sedan provides an elegant and serene experience for all occupants.
The A8 first arrived in the U.S. for the 1998 model year and entered its fourth generation for model year 2019. Following a significant mid-cycle refresh in 2022 that saw sharpened design elements brought to the flagship Audi sedan, the A8 L sees package-content changes for model year 2026.
The 2026 A8 L sees an additional exterior color added (Daytona Gray pearl effect), and the content of the Luxury package (Dual-pane acoustic side-window glass, Dynamic all-wheel-steering, Extended Leather package, Front seat massage function, Heated front seat armrests) has been added to the Executive package content to create the newly available Executive plus package, provided at a savings compared to the MSRPs of the two previously distinct packages. An alternative 21″ Neodymium gold 10-Y-spoke design wheel option is now also available for the Black optic package.
