2006 Audi A4 Cabriolet Auto Show Photo

The last A4 to receive the line's new design theme made a small splash in Frankfurt, mostly because its new appearance looked decidedly familiar. Nonetheless, there's plenty to report on the new Cabriolet, which will arrive in the U.S. in fall 2006. First and foremost is its fresh face, which now features a single-frame grille and clear-glass headlights that lend it a more striking stance than its now-staid predecessor. Underhood, Audi's advanced FSI direct-injection engines are adopted. For the U.S., the A4 Cabrio will get Audi's ubiquitous 2.0-liter/197-hp turbocharged four-cylinder as the base powerplant, with the 3.1-liter/255-hp V-6 offered as the premium engine. Transmission choices will include a continuously variable multitronic (CVT) and a six-speed Tiptronic automatic. Because luxury-car customers expect safety regardless of body style, the new A4 Cabrio receives several upgrades, including two-stage front airbags, the latest-generation ESP stability control, improved side-impact protection, active rollover protection, and optional xenon headlights with dynamic cornering technology.
