  • 2014 Audi A3 Cabriolet – Hits the Market Next Spring

    Audi is starting production of the 2014 A3 Cabriolet at the company plant in Hungary. The A3 Cabriolet is distinctive already with its flowing lines and fabric soft-top. It is also at the pinnacle of its segment in technical terms – with consistently applied lightweight construction, the latest engine technology, versatile networking and highly effective assistance systems.

    2014 Audi A3 is set to be launched next spring with pricing starting from €31,700. Audi also builds the next generation of the Audi TT Coupe and TT Roadster in the same plant. The company has invested a total of more than €900 million in buildings and equipment at this site.

    The engine range of A3 Cabriolet includes a 1.4 liter TFSI – 140HP (103 kW), a 1.8 liter TFSI – 180HP (132 kW) and a 2.0 liter TDI with 150HP (110 kW). We also expect an S3 Cabriolet with 2.0 liter TFSI delivering 300HP (221 kW).
