The facelifted Audi A8 L has been launched in India at a starting price of ₹1.29 crore for the Celebration edition trim, going upto ₹1.57 crore for the Technology trim. Bookings for the Audi A8 L facelift are already underway across dealerships and on the brand’s website for a token amount of ₹10 lakh.
Like the outgoing car, the Audi A8 L facelift will be sold via the CBU route, and at a starting price of ₹1.29 crore, it costs ₹31 lakh less than the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, ₹ 11 lakh less than the BMW 7 Series, and ₹62 lakh less than the Lexus LS.
Audi has retained the 3.0-litre, turbo-petrol V6 engine with mild-hybrid tech from the outgoing car on the A8 L facelift. Producing 340hp and 500Nm of torque, the powertrain is mated to an 8-speed torque converter automatic transmission. Equipped with Quattro all-wheel drive technology, the A8 L facelift can accelerate from 0-100kph in 5.7sec, until it reaches a limited top speed of 250kph. However, unlike its rivals, Audi does not offer a diesel or a strong hybrid engine option on the India-spec A8 L.
