Audi has released a short teaser of the upcoming 2022 A8. The luxury sedan will take on the likes of the BMW 7 Series and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

The Audi A8 received a mid-life makeover last year. It now comes with a new radiator grille finished in chrome, redesigned front bumper with chrome inserts and reworked LED headlamps. The rear features sleek LED taillights with a light bar that stretches across the width of the car.

On the inside, the A8 comes with an updated touchscreen infotainment head-unit and dual 10.1-inch screens for rear-seat passengers. The car also gets a folding centre console table and cooler with a bar compartment.

The 2022 Audi A8 is expected to be offered with a 3.0-litre turbo-petrol engine that produces 335 BHP and 500 Nm. The engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and Audi's Quattro all-wheel drive system.
