2022 Audi A8 and S8: Lookin' Good

Expect mildly tweaked styling, more available features and plenty of good taste for 2022.

Craig brought 15 years of automotive journalism experience to the Cars team. A lifelong resident of Michigan, he's as happy with a wrench or welding gun in hand as he is in front of the camera or behind a keyboard. When not hosting videos or cranking out features and reviews, he's probably out in the garage working on one of his project cars. He's fully restored a 1936 Ford V8 sedan and then turned to resurrecting another flathead-powered relic, a '51 Ford Crestliner. Craig has been a proud member of the Automotive Press Association (APA) and the Midwest Automotive Media Association (MAMA).

The 2022 Audi A8 should start around $88,000, though the S8 is, naturally, much richer than that. This high-performance sedan kicks off at roughly $118k. Both prices include destination fees, which should total $1,095.
