New Audi A3 Cabriolet starts at £25,790 – first deliveries April 2014

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

The new Audi A3 Cabriolet – the fourth member of Audi’s A3 range – was revealed in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show and now, with first deliveries expected by spring 2014 in the UK, Audi has revealed the new drop-top A3 will cost from £25,790. That will buy you in to the entry-level SE trim which comes with a fully automatic roof in black, 16″ alloys, AirCon, MMI radio, iPod connection, DAB, Bluetooth and prep for an SD card Nav.

The Sport and S Line sped A3s sit 15mm lower than the SE and get an acoustic folding roof in a choice of black, grey and brown and you can, if you wish, opt for the softer SE suspension or, if your season ticket for the chiropractor is up to date, spec the S Line with sports suspension.

The Sport and S Line come with sports seats, Audi Drive Adaptive Dynamics, Climate and a hi-res driver information system, with the S Line getting part leather trim, sports steering wheel, 18″ alloys, S Line body kit and Xenon headlights with LED running lights.

Early orders will only get the option of the 140PS 1.4 litre TFSI with six speed manual, 1.8 litre TFSI with 180PS and seven-speed S tronic twin-clutch transmission and the 150PS 2.0 litre TDI.

But from February 2014 you will get the choice of an extended range of engines including the 1.6 TDI and a more powerful 2.0 TDI with quattro 4WD, and you’ll also be able to get quattro on the 1.8 TFSI.

The order book for the new Audi A3 Cabriolet is now open with first UK deliveries in April 2014.
