2022 Audi A8 L facelift: Everything you need to know

The 2022 Audi A8 L sees significant upgrades over the outgoing model. The front end looks visibly fresh with a bold new mesh pattern across the chrome-laced front grille, and newly designed Audi Digital Matrix LED headlights. The rear end also gets newly designed OLED tail lamps. The Audi A8 L also gets new dual-tone 10-inch alloy wheels with chrome inserts.

The 2022 Audi A8 L Celebration Edition is available with a 5-person capacity, while the Technology Edition gets an option as a 4-seater and a 5-seater. The interiors remain largely unchanged apart from a few upgrades. The 10.1-inch infotainment display has been retained on the new A8 L but gets a new MIB3 operating system. The 8.6-inch curved display for climate control and seating functions has also been retained. The rear seats come with two 10.1-inch infotainment screens of their own along with a Rear Relaxation package.

There aren’t any changes under the hood either as the Audi A8 L continues with the 3.0-litre turbo petrol V6 engine of the outgoing model. This V6 engine can generate a maximum power of 335hp and 540Nm torque. An 8-speed automatic transmission carries the power across the vehicle. The 2022 Audi A8 L can reach 0-100kmph in 5.7 seconds with a top speed of 250kmph.

The 2022 Audi A8 L is available in eight exterior and four interior colour options. Priced at Rs 1.29 cr, the premium sedan will rival the BMW 7 Series, Mercedes Benz S-Class, and the Maserati Quattroporte.
