The Audi Cross Coupé quattro aims to combine the design and dynamism of a compact premium sports car with the spaciousness and versatility of a four-seat sport utility vehicle (SUV).
The silhouette is typical Audi; the design of the study, painted in Liquid Silver, is highly-reminiscent of the sporty models produced by the Ingolstadt brand.
The proportions and the large 20” wheels point clearly towards the off-road potential of the Cross Coupé quattro. A new element is the fabric folding roof, which, when it is open, gives optimum levels of headroom and fresh air. The hood is opened and closed electrically.
The transversely installed four-cylinder inline TDI engine with common-rail fuel injection and piezo injectors is a completely new development.
With power output of 204 bhp and 400 Nm of torque, it gives the vehicle a sporty performance and a surprising degree of efficiency.
On average, the ultra-modern 2.0 TDI needs just 5.9 litres of diesel per 100km.
The diesel particulate filter and Bluetec system reduce soot and nitric oxide emissions effectively.
The quattro permanent four-wheel drive system is a matter of course on an Audi with off-road potential. A Haldex clutch ensures that traction is precisely distributed according to the situation. The sporty Audi S tronic dual-clutch gearbox executes gearshifts in a matter of milliseconds.
The current model range comprises the A3, A3 Sportback, A4 Saloon and Cabriolet, S4 Saloon, and Cabriolet, RS 4 Saloon and Cabriolet, A6 and S6, TT Coupe and Roadster, the A8, S8 and the Q7.
