2024 Audi A8 Changes
The 2024 Audi A8 receives only minor updates for 2024, among them being a new black paint and a six-month trial for Audi’s remote connectivity service.
Choosing Your 2024 Audi A8
The 2024 Audi A8 is available in a single trim level, officially the A8 L 55, where the “L” signifies a long wheelbase and “55” denotes the performance output of the powertrain. The A8 carries a base price of $89,995 and while we don’t typically see good lease deals, Audi has been known to apply significant discounts to the sticker price.
2024 Audi A8 Engine Options
The A8 is fitted with the “55” powertrain, signifying in this case, a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 that puts out 335 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system to help with smooth engine restarts and extend the engine-off cabin comfort. An eight-speed automatic distributes power to the standard all-wheel-drive system. Those looking for more performance will want to check out the S8, as it features a turbocharged V8 and other go-fast hardware.
2024 Audi A8 Fuel Economy
Even at this price range, fuel consumption is a meaningful consideration, and the Audi A8’s EPA estimates of 19 miles per gallon city, 28 mpg highway, and 22 combined pales in comparison to the new all-wheel drive BMW 7-series which achieves 27 mpg combined. The A8, like most vehicles at this price range, requires premium fuel.
2024 Audi A8 Dimensions & Cargo Capacity
The A8 is Audi’s largest sedan, measuring 208.7 inches in length and 76.6 inches in width, is on par with the size of the BMW 7-Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and is about a foot longer than the Q8 crossover.
Expectedly, the spacious cabin provides 44.3 inches of legroom and 38.5 inches of headroom for those in the rear seat. Unexpectedly, the A8’s trunk volume measures just 12.5 cubic feet which is less than what the Q7 offers behind the third row.
2024 Audi A8 Safety
The Audi A8 is equipped with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, and a surround-view monitor. The available Executive Package must be added to equip the A8 with adaptive cruise control with lane centering, blind-spot monitoring, reverse automatic braking, front cross-traffic alert, intersection assist, traffic sign recognition, and remote parking. Night vision, a feature typically offered only on high-end vehicles, is available for $2,300.
2024 Audi A8 Technology
An integrated and centrally-located 10.3-inch infotainment touchscreen operates Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, and SiriusXM. A Wi-Fi hotspot, navigation, a wireless phone charger, and four USB ports are included and sound is generated by a 17-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium sound system.
