Audi A5 Cabriolet 3.0 TDI quattro S line S tronic
What is it?
Stylish new Cabriolet version of Audi A5 coupe with fabric hood for lighter weight, easier storage. Party piece is the speed of operation: the roof can be lowered in 15 seconds; raised in 17 seconds; and all performed while driving at up to 31mph. Additional sound-reducing acoustic roof is standard on S line specification. This new Audi A5 Cabriolet model replaces the outgoing Audi A4 Cabriolet.
What’s hot?
- It’s another supremely elegant and stylish Audi Cabriolet
- Ease of all-auto lower/raise roof operation…
- …With ability to do it on the move if the rain suddenly comes
- Large diesel and S tronic auto suit relaxed roof-down cruising
- Highly refined on the road, even with roof down
- And also very quiet with roof up thanks to acoustic hood
- Additional road security with quattro four-wheel drive
- Low-down performance from V6 thanks to 500Nm torque
- LED roof downlighters in rear and front illuminate cabin
- Boot luggage area can be extended with fold-down rear seats
- Neck-level heating system a useful option
- Treated leather seats deflect sun rays to keep seats cool on hot days
- Automatic seat belt feeder neatly offers belt before retracting
What’s not?
- Removing the A5’s roof means there’s some bodyshake…
- …not that you’ll care with the sun out and the roof down
- Despite 380 litre boot space it’s a limited storage area
- Desirable extras really push up the price
- Fuel consumption only just over 40mpg
- And CO2 emissions high at 179g/km
