The S3 Cabrio evaluates around 200kg much more than the other models. This implies the 0-62mph sprint takes 5.4 seconds, rather than the hatch’s 4.8 as well as Sportback as well as Saloon’s 4.9. economic climate falls to a declared 39.8mpg as well as the cars and truck emits 165g/km of CO2; every other S tronic S3 declares 40.9mpg as well as 159g/km.
As with the common A3 Cabrio, the top drops digitally in 18 seconds at as much as 31mph. However, the S3 is marked out by 25mm lower sports suspension, bi-xenon headlights, a subtly beefed-up bodykit as well as 19-inch alloy wheels. It’s a similar story inside, with sports seats, a flat-bottomed steering wheel as well as S3-specific dials included.
The new A3 Cabriolet utilizes the saloon body style as its base rather than the hatchback, which implies it’s bigger as well as there’s much more area in the boot as well. The common A3 Cabriolet gets a 320-litre boot with the roofing system up, which reduces to 275 litres with the roofing system down.
There’s great deals of insulation in the roofing system as well, which will keep noise out of the cabin when the S3 Cabrio is driving at high speed. There are optional hot air blowers to keep your neck warm in the winter season on the A3 Cab, which will likely be common on the top-spec S3 model.
