Refreshed 2022 Audi S8 $12,600 Cheaper Than Before

The starting price of the regular A8 does not change for the new model year.

Audi revealed the updated A8 family of luxury sedans for Europe in November 2013. The refreshed luxury sedan will now be available on the US market. The pricing of the 2022 model year for both the A8 and S8 is also improved. But the most important news is the price drop for S8.

The A8’s most powerful member has a starting price at $116,900 (MSRP exempting destination) for the new model year, compared to $129,500 for 2021 S8. The sedan comes standard with all-wheel steering and air suspension. This is a $12,600 price reduction. Stock factory equipment also includes the 4.0-liter V8 that produces 563 horsepower (414 megawatts).

The regular A8’s starting price remains the same. However, for the 2022 model year you will need to spend at minimum $86,500 (MSRP exempting destination) to purchase the A8 L55 TFSI. This A8 model is the only one available. It comes with a 3.0-liter TFSI V6 engine that produces 335 horsepower (246 kW). The machine comes standard with 19-inch 5-spoke design wheels with all season tires.

The refreshed Audi A8 USA can be distinguished, just like its European sibling by the prominent singleframe that is surrounded by chrome trim. The facelift also includes a pair of new headlights that feature 1.3 million micromirrors to control the digital matrix function. The rear fascia features new OLED taillight signatures and a new light strip that runs coast to coast. The bumper now has a new diffuser.

The S8 is more aggressive due to its four tailpipes at back and wider radiator grille at front. Black Optic Plus is a package that adds black badges and mirrors to your luxury sedan. This same package is also available on the A8 regular model.
