Which model is the Audi A3 convertible?
2 Answers
Audi A3 convertible is the Cabriolet, which is an imported model of the Audi A3, based on the Audi A3 sedan version. In terms of appearance, the Audi A3 Cabriolet is a purely imported model with distinct family design elements, featuring a chrome-framed rectangular front grille paired with Audi's iconic headlights. In terms of power, the Audi A3 Cabriolet is equipped with a 2.0T inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 140kW and a peak torque of 320Nm, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The Audi A3 convertible refers to the third-generation A3 Cabriolet (model code 8V), which was produced from around 2014 to 2020. It features a soft-top convertible design that can be opened or closed in just 18 seconds, even while driving. The powertrain typically includes a 1.4T or 2.0T engine paired with a dual-clutch transmission. When the roof is lowered, it completely retracts into the trunk, leaving the rear seats usable, making it practical for daily use. This convertible is significantly lighter than the hardtop version of the BMW 2 Series and offers better fuel efficiency. Unfortunately, Audi discontinued the A3 convertible after 2020, so those interested in purchasing one will need to look in the used car market, where 2016 to 2018 models are commonly available, priced around 200,000 RMB.
