Detailed analysis of the Audi A3 Cabrio 1.4 TFSI 85 kW (116 CV) S tronic 7 vel. · 116 CV (2017-2018)
General description
The 2016 Audi A3 Cabrio is the embodiment of freedom and style in a compact format. With its soft top and the prestigious four-ring signature, this convertible is not just a car; it's an invitation to feel the wind and sun on every journey. It combines Audi's characteristic elegance with the pure emotion of open-top driving, creating an experience that goes beyond mere transportation.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the 116-horsepower 1.4 TFSI engine reveals itself as a smooth and willing companion. Although its acceleration won't pin you to the seat, its torque delivery from low revs and the exquisite management of the 7-speed S tronic gearbox provide a fluid and pleasant drive. It's a car that prioritizes comfort and refinement over pure sportiness. The precise steering and a suspension that masterfully filters out irregularities make every trip, whether through the city or along a coastal road, a moment of pure enjoyment and relaxation.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the A3 Cabrio is an exercise in restrained elegance. It maintains the clean, athletic lines of the A3 family but reinterprets them with a silhouette that evokes sophistication and leisure. The soft top, with its quick operation and perfect insulation, integrates harmoniously into the rear, creating a balanced profile whether open or closed. Inside, Audi's quality is palpable in every detail: from the feel of the materials to the precise fit of each component. It's an interior that envelops you in an atmosphere of discreet, timeless luxury.
Technology and features
Technologically, this A3 Cabrio reflects Audi's know-how of its time. The dual-clutch S tronic transmission is an engineering gem, offering nearly imperceptible shifts that optimize both performance and consumption. The Stop-Start system contributes to efficiency in the urban environment. Although the base model was well-equipped, it was possible to add advancements like the Audi Virtual Cockpit, which transformed the instrument cluster into a customizable digital display, and an advanced MMI infotainment system.
Competition
In the exclusive segment of premium compact convertibles, the Audi A3 Cabrio faced a formidable rival: the BMW 2 Series Cabrio. While the Audi opted for front-wheel drive, a more understated design, and exceptional ride comfort, the BMW offered classic rear-wheel drive and more sporty driving dynamics. The choice between the two often came down to a matter of personal preference between Audi's refined elegance and BMW's inherent dynamism.
Conclusion
The Audi A3 Cabrio 1.4 TFSI is much more than a car; it's a statement of intent. It is the perfect choice for those seeking Audi's quality and prestige fused with the incomparable feeling of open-top driving. It's not the fastest, but its balance of comfort, efficiency, and style is sublime. It is an ideal companion for getaways and for turning the daily routine into a unique sensory experience. A rational indulgence that appeals directly to the heart.
