KS Diwan/ royalpatiala.in/ Chandigarh
The new Audi A5 Cabriolet test drives were held here today.
The classic soft top fits perfectly into the athletic design and delivers outstanding aeroacoustics thanks to effective insulation. The new one touch opening function makes operating the standard acoustic hood much easier. A quick pull of the switch is all it takes to open the soft top fully automatically in 15 seconds or close it in 18 seconds – even while driving up to 50 km/h (31.1 mph).
The rear window is now flatter and emphasizes the sporty looks, as do the short overhangs and the long wraparound hood with power dome. With a length of 4,673 millimetres (184.0 in), the new A5 Cabriolet is 47 millimetres (1.9 in) longer than the predecessor model. Together with the wheelbase, which has been extended by 14 millimetres (0.6 in), and more compact seats, this means more space for the driver and passengers. Shoulder room in the front row of seats has been increased by 26 millimetres (1.0 in) and knee room in the rear by 18 millimetres (0.7 in).
The total weight of the new generation has been reduced by up to 40 kilograms (88.2 lb). An updated five – Link suspension is used on the front axle. At the rear, a five – link construction replaces the trapezoidal – link suspension used on the previous model. Adaptive dampers are available as an option.
A comprehensive range of infotainment awaits the driver on board the new A5 Cabriolet. Selected smartphone content, such as navigation, telephone and music are integrated into the vehicle’s MMI system via Apple Car Play and Android Auto.
