      German luxury carmaker, Audi will launch the much-awaited A3 Cabriolet in the Indian car market tomorrow. The A3 Cabriolet will join the A3 sedan lineup, and will come as a completely built up unit (CBU). The A3 lineup will also be joined by the A3 hatchback later on, which will rival against the likes of Mercedes-Benz A-Class and BMW 1 Series sedan. Unveiled at the 2014 Delhi Motor Show, the Audi A3 Cabriolet is expected to be priced around Rs. 35-40 lakh.

      The Audi A3 Cabriolet is already on sale in several international markets, and it shares most of its styling cues with its sedan sibling. This 4-door convertible is equipped with the soft-top, which is made of soft fabric. The soft top can open or close electro-hydraulically in less than 18 seconds at speeds up to 50kmph.

      It is expected that Audi will launch only the petrol version of the A3 Cabriolet in the country. The vehicle will be powered by a 1.8-litre turbocharged, 4-cylinder petrol engine that is capable of developing a top power output of 180PS and a peak torque of 350Nm. Power is transmitted to the front wheels of the car via a seven-speed S-tronic dual clutch automatic gearbox. Considering high demand for diesel cars in India, we expect that the company might also introduce the diesel powered version of the Audi A3 Cabriolet at a later stage. The oil burner could be the 2.0-litre TDI unit that is good for 150PS of power.
