The Audi A3 sedan made its first appearance in India at the Auto Expo 2014 in Delhi at the start of this year. Along with it, the German carmaker also showcased the A3 Cabriolet. It has now been confirmed that the Audi A3 Cabriolet will be launched in India on December 11.
The A3 Cabriolet's roof, which is made of soft fabric, sits over a lightweight kinematic skeleton made of magnesium steel. It can open or close electro-hydraulically in around 18 seconds, at speeds of up to 50kph. According to our sources, the A3 Cabriolet will be available only in petrol guise. It’ll retain the same set-up as in the sedan — 177bhp 1.8-litre TFSI engine mated to a seven-speed S-tronic dual-clutch automatic gearbox. Equipment and features are also expected to remain the same.
The convertible will essentially serve as a halo product in the carmaker’s portfolio here.
