2011 Audi A3 Cabriolet

The Audi A3 Cabriolet is an eye-catcher with its sleek and elegant lines. Its soft top is characterized by low weight and excellent fit; the hydraulic drive opens the top in only nine seconds. When in its storage compartment, the top takes up very little space thanks to the Z-shaped fold, thus allowing for a sporty vehicle design. Both semi-automatic and fully automated versions of the top are available - the latter as a specially soundproofed and thermally insulated acoustic top.
The body structure of the compact premium convertible contains a high proportion of high-strength and ultra-high-strength steels as well as targeted reinforcements that provide maximum rigidity and crash safety. The cabin is an oasis of luxury under the open sky with plenty of room for four. The split folding rear seat backs can be unlocked easily from the luggage compartment to reveal a broad and high load-through hatch. This increases luggage capacity from 260 to 674 liters (9.18 - 23.80 cu ft).
The Audi A3 Cabriolet rolls off the assembly line with three gasoline and two TDI engines. The two diesel models come equipped with both the recuperation system and the start-stop system. The S tronic with six or seven speeds is available for the three most powerful engines. All engines power the front wheels.

• 1.2 TFSI with 77 kW (105 hp)
• 1.8 TFSI with 118 kW (160 hp)
• 2.0 TFSI with 147 kW (200 hp)
