2014 Audi A8: Price from £58,800

The 2014 Audi A8 (pictured) costs from £58,800

Audi revealed its facelift for the A8 and S8 back in August but now, with first new A8 deliveries due in the UK in January 2014, Audi has managed to come up with a price for almost the entire A8 range (and the S8). The starting price for the new A8 starts at £58,800 for the 3.0 TDI quattro (the FWD A8 has bitten the dust) rising to a substantial £79,900 for the 4.0 TFSI quattro S8. So far, they haven’t come up with a price for the range-topping 6.3 W12 LWB A8.

The cosmetic titivations are small and expected, with a few tweaks to the nose, the odd new crease line, some extr chrome and optional matrix LED headlights.

Engines remain much the same as before, although the 3.0 litre diesel gets a bit more power (8bhp), the 4.2 litre diesel gets the same output as Porsche manage in the Cayenne (385bhp and 627lb/ft of torque) and the 3.0 litre petrol also gets a 20bhp lift.

Specification is enhanced too across the range – with SE, SE Executive and Sport Executive trim available on the A8 – with even SE models getting 18″ alloys and LED headlights with high-bean assist, with the Sport Executive models getting the new Matrix LED headlights, Wi-Fi and Internet.

The 2014 Audi A8 and S8 will arrive in the UK in January 2014.
