At the Shanghai Motor Show Audi has unveiled a study that defines a new segment in the field of crossover vehicles. The Audi Cross Coupe quattro combines the design and dynamism of a compact premium sports car with the spaciousness and versatility of a four-seat sport utility vehicle (SUV). Innovative technical solutions show new ways of achieving efficiency, driving pleasure and comfort in a manner that is typical of Audi. The Audi Cross Coupe quattro: a car whose visual appearance clearly tells you what it is capable of and whose engineering matches this standard – on all roads, under all conditions. | |
The design
The design of the four-door study presents itself as a further step in the evolution of the current Audi style: a prominent single-frame radiator grille, large areas of metal and narrow glazing at the sides, and a powerful rear end all combine to make the overall proportions appear dynamic and elegant. The interiorAll areas of the Audi Cross Coupe quattro interior offer top quality and solutions that are as elegant as they are ergonomically perfect. The cockpit area is heavily inclined towards the driver typical of a modern Audi. The large fabric folding roof is a particular visual highlight. It opens up the view to the sky from the A pillar almost as far as the tailgate and across nearly the whole width of the roof, allowing almost the same degree of fresh air as that provided by convertibles. The drivetrainThe Cross Coupe quattro is powered by an all-new 2.0 TDI diesel engine, the first example of the new generation of four-cylinder TDI engines in the Volkswagen/Audi Group. 205 hp with a peak torque of 400Nm between 2,000 and 3,500rpm comes together with a high level of refinement and an impressive degree of economy and efficiency. The running gearThe capability of the engine is matched by the dynamic suspension, with McPherson-strut front axle and four-link independent-suspension rear axle, designed to give sporty, agile handling and a high degree of stability while making cornering distinctly fun. Large 20" wheels with size 245/45 R20 tires and a brake system with its large-diameter discs. Audi drive selectAudi drive select makes it possible to preselect three highly individual configurations for the engine, gearbox and the magnetic ride shock absorbers. The result: a single car that provides the luxury of having three cars in their garage, one each for their changing needs: comfort, agility or dynamic driving. | |
