Details
Summary
The fourth A8 runs almost everything through two stacked touchscreens that confirm each press with a click and a pulse.
Specifications
Cockpit
Instrument cluster
Audi virtual cockpit, configurable by the driver.
Head-up display: Optional; a colour unit was standard on UK cars at launch.
Centre display
Upper screen for infotainment and navigation, with natural-language voice control.
MMI touch response lower touchscreen
Lower screen for climate, comfort functions and handwriting or text input.

The lower screen takes the place of rows of climate and convenience buttons, and the same touch response extends to small touch controls on the outer air vents.
Facts
- MMI touch response replaced the rotary controller and touchpad of the previous A8.[2][3]
- The haptic pulse comes from an electromagnet, and a press registers at an activation threshold of 2.4 newtons.[5][3]
- The Audi virtual cockpit was standard.[4][3]
- A detachable OLED touch controller about the size of a phone sits in the rear centre armrest for rear passengers.[2][4]
- UK orders for the facelifted A8 opened in December 2021, with deliveries from spring 2022. Rear-seat entertainment moved from Audi tablets to two optional 10.1-inch full-HD displays on the backs of the front seats.[6][7][4]
