This front-end styling, which consciously alludes to design elements of the Nuvolari quattro coupé study, is already to be found on all new Audi models and makes every Audi unmistakeable.

Taut lines and clear surfaces that hold no secrets, coupled with a tension-packed shoulder line extending along the entire length of the body, produce a look that is simultaneously powerful and elegant. The rear end is distinguished by newly designed lights of clear-glass appearance which also emphasise the Cabriolet’s premium quality from behind. The new rear diffuser underscores the car’s sports character.

The modern and innovatively designed interior fits in with the progressive look of the car’s exterior styling. The new-generation steering wheels provide an entirely new visual touch inside the A4 Cabriolet. Their characteristic element is the airbag cover with its single-frame design. Door sill trims with aluminium inserts and numerous aluminium inlays are a standard feature of all new A4 Cabriolet versions.

The excellent ergonomics of the previous generation is also to be found in the new Audi A4 Cabriolet. The cockpit and cabin are characterised by the generous use of surface areas and the flowing transition from the instrument cluster into the dashboard. At the same time, the new Audi A4 Cabriolet offers a high level of interior comfort.

The high standard of comfort and quality, which more than satisfies the demands made of the luxury car class, is once again particularly outstanding. This impression is immediately conveyed by the high-grade materials and excellent finish of the interior.

Almost all convertibles look good with the top down, but only a few are equally as attractive with the top up. The Audi A4 Cabriolet cuts an extremely fine figure both open and closed.

The fully automatic, electro-hydraulic hood can be operated when driving at a speed of up to 30 km/h.

Thanks to its good thermal insulation and glass rear window, the Audi A4 Cabriolet can also be used without restriction in the winter. But the A4 Cabriolet is not only a car for all seasons because of its outstanding insulation – quattro permanent four-wheel drive technology additionally improves the car’s safety and handling.
