This facelifted version of the Audi A8L also gets a reworked bumper design and there's a chrome strip that runs across the width of the bumper. The side profile remains more or less the same except for the new alloy wheels design. At the rear, things remain the same, however, the German carmaker has now tweaked the taillights a bit the overall set-up remains the same as before.
On the inside, things remain mostly the same as before but now the rear seats get more convenience features than before. The rear-seat passengers will now get a 10.1-inch infotainment screen alongside a touchscreen remote, a cooler with its own bar compartment, a fold-out console table and more such things. Overall, Audi has now enhanced the chauffeur-driven experience by quite some margin.
