Overall, the design complements the brand\u2019s identity and paves way for the remodeled 2019 model.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sellanycar.com\/cars-related\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/2018-audi-a8l-flagship-sedan-exterior.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-26286\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-26286\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sellanycar.com\/cars-related\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/2018-audi-a8l-flagship-sedan-exterior.jpg\" alt=\"Design of 2018 Audi A8L\" width=\"600\" height=\"357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sellanycar.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/2018-audi-a8l-flagship-sedan-exterior.jpg 751w, https:\/\/sellanycar.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/2018-audi-a8l-flagship-sedan-exterior-300x179.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Exterior<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The fresh look of the exterior attributes to the craftsmanship of the designers at Audi who were able to take the iconic elements and retain them in the new design changes. <em>From the side, one can tell that the mirrors are now taller while the corner mounts are smaller.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The lower body line is now enhanced to look bigger and angles upwards as it reaches the rear to give the 2018 A8L a more commanding look.
