Audi A4 Cabriolet: First real-world review

AutoExpress has made the first real-world review of the Audi A4 cabriolet.

It's quicker, smarter and quieter - and that's just the new Audi A4 Cabriolet's roof! Opening or closing the elegant fabric top takes only 21 seconds, which is five seconds less than before, and the automated design now works while you are on the move at speeds of up to 20mph.

As part of a comprehensive range of upgrades, the convertible has also been given the German firm's new corporate face, as well as revised headlights and tail lamps. The alterations are subtle, allowing the newcomer to maintain its discreet, classy appearance. Even so, there's no doubt the car still looks absolutely fantastic.

And it's not only about the design. To improve the handling, the suspension has come in for attention, too, and there's a quartet of new petrol and diesel engines. One of the big-sellers is expected to be the car driven here, the 197bhp turbocharged 2.0-litre FSI. It replaces the 168bhp 2.4-litre unit and will be available to order, along with the rest of the range, from next month.
