Spectacularly uncompromising The exterior of the Audi Cross Cabriolet quattro

The longitudinally mounted engine and the basic chassis and drivetrain architectures of the Audi Cross Cabriolet quattro, which measures 4.62 m in length and 1.91 m across, are taken from the inventory of modules used in the current Audi A4 and Audi A5 model lines. The SUV-style height of 1.63 m with the hood closed marks the most significant difference to these relatives of the Cross Cabriolet quattro. In the side view, the shoulder line and dynamic line divide the vehicle body’s volume into a clearly defined sporty architecture. Within the pronounced styling of the wheel arches, the large 21-inch wheels with tyres of size 265/35 R21 send out a clear visual message.

Behind its clear-glass headlight covers, the latest lighting technology can be seen: the Cross Cabriolet quattro is the latest Audi to be equipped with all-LED headlights, which also feature the characteristic strip of daytime running lights and the electronically controlled swivelling cornering light.

The fabric hood, which in just 17 seconds lowers itself fully automatically in a Z-fold behind the rear seats at the push of a button, is a trademark of all open-top Audi models. The rear loading solution is a perfect synthesis of convertible design and SUV functionality. When closed, the short stepped boot lid forms a continuation of the fabric hood’s coupé line. When it opens, however, it lifts up high to provide a surprisingly large opening, with the glass rear window automatically lifting up at the same time as the boot lid.
