Audi‘s 2019 A8 sedan will be available to purchase this fall.

Anxious fans of the German automaker have been waiting since last year to get more details about the vehicle and its pricing. One look at the new model reveals how well Audi has positioned it to compete with the Lexus LS and Mercedes S-Class. The grille looks similar in spirit to the Lexus grille, but a switch from concave to convex leaves it executed for much broader appeal.

The model’s visuals also urge comparison to the BMW 7-Series. Clearly, the new Audi is designed to fight for and win over the customer with a taste for the Euro sports sedan, who will be charmed by the A8’s long wheelbase and fluid body shape.

Only one engine setup is currently announced for the Audi A8, but drivers are likely going to be plenty happy with the turbocharged 3.0-liter V6. The engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and produces 335 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. The automaker has promised a V8 option by next summer, which no doubt many of the faithful will wait patiently for.

New tech is plentiful. Drivers will enjoy features like adaptive cruise, four-wheel steering, and an adjustable suspension for improved handling.

The high-end 2019 Audi A8 sedan has a base price of $84,795, but, naturally, that price can escalate quite quickly with modifications and additions.
