A little thing like the weather shouldn't get in your way. The new Audi A5 cabriolet has a fast, lightweight roof system, optional head level heating and solar reflecting leather seats to provide enhanced levels of comfort regardless of the conditions. And with a boot size of over 380 litres with the roof down, there's no reduction on space either. With the new A5 cabriolet, open top driving is no longer a compromise - the perfect combination of style and substance.
quattro® with sports differential
quattro® four-wheel drive with sports differential* combines the advantages of quattro® technology with a completely new differential that accelerates the rear wheels individually. Specifically on bends, the A5 Cabriolet now exhibits noticeably more agility. When steering into and accelerating out of bends, power is diverted to the outside rear wheel. With the optional Audi drive select system, you can tailor the response of the quattro® with sports differential to your own preferences.
Audi drive select
The optional Audi drive select system with dynamic steering and/or quattro® with sports differential lets you choose between the settings comfort, auto and dynamic at the press of a button. In addition, a personally defined individual mode can be saved via the optional MMI. The throttle characteristic, shift points and, if ordered, the hydraulic damper control, dynamic steering and quattro® with sports differential are specially adapted for every mode.
S tronic 7-speed dual-clutch transmission
The optional S tronic combines the comfort of an automatic with the sportiness of a manual gearbox – and it does so with extreme efficiency. The S tronic comprises two clutches: if you accelerate in second gear, for example, third gear is already preselected in preparation. When the ideal shift point is reached, the twin multi-plate clutch reacts in a flash: the first clutch opens while the other closes immediately. The gear change is completed within just a few milliseconds without any noticeable interruption in the power flow.
Audi side assist
This lane change assistant* uses radar sensors to help you monitor the car's blind spot and the traffic situation behind the vehicle. The light in the exterior mirror notifies or warns you if side assist considers a detected vehicle to represent a hazard if you were to change lane.
adaptive cruise control
The optional adaptive cruise control system uses a radar sensor to detect other vehicles ahead of you and maintains a safe distance by automatically applying the brakes and accelerating. The system incorporates Audi braking guard. If the vehicle in front brakes suddenly, the system first warns you with an audible signal before briefly applying the brakes if necessary.
Automatic air conditioning
Even with the hood up, the climate inside the car is kept precisely how you want it: the intelligent automatic air conditioning system notes the preset temperature both when the hood is open and closed, and reprograms itself automatically each time the roof is operated.
Soft top
The classic soft top gives the Audi A5 Cabriolet its special character and at the same time is remarkable for its ease of operation and cleverly designed details. It takes barely 15 seconds for the fully automatic hood to make way for the delicious summer air. And only 17 seconds for it to close again when required. The hood can also be operated while the car is on the move, at speeds of up to 31 mph.
Split-folding rear seat back
The space inside the Audi A5 Cabriolet is put to excellent use in every respect. The split-folding rear seat back with remote release makes stowing long objects an easy affair. The generous luggage compartment, with a capacity of 320 litres, can easily be loaded even with the hood down, and with the rear seat back folded it has a capacity of up to 750 litres.
Leather seats with heat-up resistance
A special colour pigmentation prevents the leather from extreme heating-up when in strong sunlight. The infrared rays from the sunlight are in addition reflected. The surface temperature can thus be reduced by up to 20 °C. The heat-up resistance does not affect the other properties of the leather in any way.
Advanced key
With the advanced key option, the A5 Cabriolet automatically unlocks the doors when a door handle is touched, and also remembers the driver's personal settings for the automatic air conditioning. With the radio remote control, it is possible to open the hood from within a range of about 4 metres from the car.
Audi parking system advanced
The optional Audi parking system advanced with rearview camera shows you the area behind the car in the MMI display. Digital guidelines in the display make parking even easier.
Bang & Olufsen sound system
Top entertainment: with 505 watts of music power, ten channels and 12 speakers, the optional Bang & Olufsen sound system with surround sound provides genuine listening pleasure in the Audi A5 Cabriolet.
Engine
Take the FSI®, for example: the technology that is used in all petrol engines burns the fuel faster and more efficiently thanks to the direct injection principle. Then there is TFSI, with turbocharging for extra power. In conjunction with the Audi valvelift system, which reduces the engine's internal friction, TFSI engines develop an enormous amount of power. This power is equally prominent in the innovative TDI diesel engines. Whichever engine type you choose, you can be sure that Audi efficiency will accompany you on every trip. You'll feel the difference.
