History & notable variants

In March 2026, Audi announced the cessation of new orders for the A8 in Germany from February 18th, signaling the end of this generation. Reports suggest that a successor is under development but availability in other markets will depend on remaining inventory levels as Audi shifts strategic focus towards SUVs and electric vehicles.
