About this generation

The Audi A8 is a full-size luxury sedan manufactured and marketed by the German automaker Audi since 1994. Succeeding the Audi V8, and currently in its fourth generation, the A8 has been offered with either front- or permanent all-wheel drive and in short- and long-wheelbase variants. The first two generations employed the Volkswagen Group D platform, with the current generation deriving from the MLB platform. After the original model's 1994 release, Audi released the second generation in late 2002, the third in late 2009, and the fourth and current iteration in 2017.

Noted as the first mass-market car with an aluminium chassis, all A8 models have used this construction method co-developed with Alcoa and marketed as the Audi Space Frame.

What changed in the facelift

Changes include: * Updated front fascia incorporating Audi's signature single frame full-nose grill. Complementing the pronounced styling of the nose, designers ditched the understated round fog lights, opting for larger rectangular fog light housings- inside a set of 'Side-View illuminators' have been integrated into the housing; aiding drivers in low-light or poor visibility conditions by automatically illuminating depending on speed and steering angle.

Side-View Illuminators operate independent of fog lights. * Updated tail-light assembly featuring brighter and more efficient LED bulbs. Dual rear fog lights are still standard. New optional features: * Full speed range adaptive cruise control ACC Plus, can now brake until stop * Braking guard radar-guided forward collision warning system * "Side Assist" detects cars in the A8's blind spots * Lane assist helps when the driver attempts to change lanes without signalling first.
