About the 2023 Audi A8
4th generation A8 (D5, 2019-2024 in the U.S.), second year after the 2022 refresh.
Audi positions the A8 as an understated flagship sedan built around elegant design, impeccable craftsmanship, and a calm, technology-rich driving experience. Its job is to deliver limousine-like rear-seat space, a quiet ride, and all-weather confidence from quattro all-wheel drive without looking flashy. Compared with rival full-size luxury sedans, the A8 leans on clean design, strong standard comfort equipment, and an Audi-style blend of serenity and driver engagement.
The 2023 A8 L 55 TFSI is a long-wheelbase luxury sedan focused on quiet, comfortable, technology-rich travel. Standout features include a 335-hp mild-hybrid V6, standard all-wheel drive, adaptive air suspension, 22-way heated and ventilated front seats, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a Bang & Olufsen sound system.
