Audi A8 L facelift: exterior updates
In terms of exterior style, purchasers can expect a revamped front fascia with a larger, chrome-dominant front grille flanked by sharper LED headlights with altered graphics. The alloy wheels will be redesigned, and the bumpers will be enhanced with more chrome inserts. With a new design for the tail lamp clusters, the back end will be updated as well. The A8L’s inside will be improved with a virtual cockpit and a Rear Relaxation package for the second-row seats, as well as a new MIB3 operating system.
Audi A8 L facelift: expected powertrains
There won’t be any alterations under the hood because it’s a facelift. It’s driven by the same 3.0-liter V6 petrol engine with 48V mild hybrid aid, which produces 335bhp and 500Nm of torque. The two-tonne beast has a top speed of 250km/h and can accelerate from a standstill to 100km/h in just 5.7 seconds. The Quattro AWD technology transmits power to all four wheels via an eight-speed Tiptronic gearbox.
Audi A8 L facelift: interiors and features
The new A8L’s interior will have an improved driver display and an infotainment touchscreen with the newest MIB3 software. Audi will also offer two 10.1-inch screens in the back, as well as a tablet-style controller on the rear armrest. The A8L model that will be sold in India could have similar features.
The continuous segmented light strip features a configurable light signature made up of digital OLEDs, while the rear design is nearly comparable to the previous generation. When the lights are turned to the ‘Dynamic’ drive mode, they change to a larger signature that is only available in that mode.
Expect the same MMI touch infotainment system with a 10.1-inch and 8.6-inch touchscreen on the inside. The A8 L comes standard with a fully digital Audi Virtual Cockpit (instrument cluster) and MMI Navigation Plus, which is driven by a third-generation modular infotainment toolkit (MIB 3).
