Product Overview

Audi A3 Cabriolet (Type 8V) is a compact convertible in production from 2013 to 2016, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.4 to 2.0 liters.

Compared to the 8P7 A3 Cabriolet that preceded it, the 8V is notably longer; this gives it a more coherent styling, even though it remains to be based on the A3 hatchback.

Powertrain-wise, Audi continued to lean heavily on diesel and DCT. Even its I4 petrol engines aren't all that reliable.

Fortunately, four wheel independent suspension now found its way to the A3.
