2014 Audi A8 pricing announced (UK)

Audi UK has recently published pricing details for the facelifted A8 lineup which made its public debut at IAA in Frankfurt last month.

Slated to arrive in January next year, the UK-spec A8 will kick off from 58,800 GBP for the base 3.0 TDI quattro SE model. Notable changes include optional Matrix LED headlights, redesigned front bumper and five fresh exterior paints. While the standard model maintains its proportions, the long wheelbase version is now 13cm longer and this stretch can be seen in the wheelbase as well.

The UK-spec A8 will be offered in three trim levels (SE, SE Executive and Sport Executive) and will be available as standard with newly designed 18-inch alloy wheels, electromechanical power steering and full LED headlights with high-beam assist.

Optional goodies that could be installed in the cabin are a Bang & Olufsen sound system, electrically-adjustable individual rear seats, ventilated front seats with massage settings, relaxation seats with powered footrests, power-assisted door closure and a continuous center console wrapped around in leather for the A8 L.

The most expensive model on sale is the 4.0 TFSI quattro which would cost 79,900 GBP, though the pricing for the range-topping 6.3 W12 LWB variant has not been disclosed yet.
