Jim Autos UK – UK’s Top New Used Car Dealer Exporter of Audi is United Kingdom’s Top Audi A5 Cabriolet Convertible Dealer Exporter of New and Used Vehicles

The Audi A5 Cabriolet Convertible is based on Audi A5 and comes with technology that makes it ideal for all conditions

Great design tends to get noticed. The shape of the Audi A5 Cabriolet, for example, has probably already caught your attention. But there’s another kind of beautiful design in this car that’s just as significant: the technology. We’ve included a fully automatic hood as standard, enabling you to make the most of the sun. There’s also optional head-level heating for when it’s cold and heat-resistant upholstery for when it’s hot. So now there really is no bad weather.

Efficiency

At Audi, doing less is something we’re trying to do more of. We’re working to use less fuel, release less CO2 and waste less energy. It’s why we’ve incorporated a number of more efficient technologies into the Audi A5 Cabriolet.

Automatic Start-Stop function

In heavy traffic, your car still uses fuel and releases CO2, even when it’s stationary. The automatic Start-Stop function counteracts this problem by switching off the engine when your car comes to a standstill. As soon as you touch the clutch, the car restarts. In conjunction with TDI® and FSI®, it helps save up to 0.4 litres of fuel every 100km.

TDI® and FSI®

Inside the engine of the Audi A5 Cabriolet you’ll find the same advanced fuel-injection technology that’s driven us to win after win at Le Mans. With TDI® and FSI®, fuel is injected directly into the engine’s chambers so that combustion is timed right down to the millisecond. As a result, waste is minimised and you get the most from every last drop of fuel.

Recuperation

When a vehicle brakes, the discs convert the kinetic energy into thermal energy, which is wasted as it cannot be used. With a recuperation system like the one in the Audi A5 Cabriolet, the kinetic energy is converted into useful electrical energy. The way it works is simple. While the car is coasting or braking, the alternator voltage is raised above the level of the basic electrical system, which enables the alternator to generate electrical energy and store it temporarily in the battery. When the vehicle accelerates, this energy is used to relieve the load on the alternator, resulting in a fuel saving of up to 3%.

Engines

Petrol

FSI® direct-injection technology is a unique Audi innovation that was originally developed for the Le Mans 24-hour endurance race to deliver more power and torque, as well as enhanced fuel efficiency. Precisely the right amount of fuel and air are injected into the combustion chambers, enabling the engine to ‘breathe’ more easily. It results in reduced heat loss and increased output, with around a 15% reduction in fuel consumption and significantly lower exhaust emissions. We’ve also developed TFSI®, with either turbocharging or supercharging, which combines FSI® technology with forced induction – giving cars an extra injection of power.

Diesel

We introduced TDI® to the roads in 1989, marking a departure from the noisy, fuel-thirsty diesel engines of the past. And since then, we’ve continuously refined it, recently developing common-rail technology. Under this system, a series of piezo injectors use electrical charge to precisely control the amount of fuel injected into the engine. As well as reducing noise, this allows combustion to happen at a lower temperature and with less oxygen, which lowers emissions.

Transmissions

multitronic®

Translating a driver’s preferences and intentions into road performance, the multitronic® transmission system entertains no compromises – whether in terms of dynamism, convenience or economy. multitronic® automatic transmission is available on models without quattro® permanent all-wheel-drive. A continuously variable transmission, multitronic® can transmit up to 400 Nm of torque and permits an exceptionally wide range of gear ratios. The result is smooth, powerful acceleration and a high level of driving comfort. And thanks to its lightweight design and a number of advanced electronic control systems that monitor gradient, road conditions and the way the driver is using the accelerator pedal, multitronic® also plays an instrumental role in reducing fuel consumption.

S tronic®

Driving is all about thinking ahead, which is just what the S tronic® dual-clutch transmission does. It works almost as two separate systems, one engaging the odd-numbered and the other the even-numbered gears. So when you’re accelerating in second, it has third gear waiting for you. And once you make the switch, it’s already thinking about fourth. With two clutches working together, you can change gears almost instantly while experiencing smooth, uninterrupted power.

quattro®

It’s the technology that has given Audi the edge on the racetrack ever since it was first introduced over 30 years ago – a technology that delivers ultimate control whilst enhancing the sporty characteristics which make the Audi A5 Cabriolet so thrilling to drive. It’s called quattro® permanent all-wheel-drive. The principle is simple: in the same way that four brakes ensure better deceleration, four permanently-driven wheels deliver better acceleration and road-holding, pushing or pulling the car as needed, for a driving experience that’s both dynamic and safe.

In the Audi A5 Cabriolet, asymmetric dynamic torque distribution continuously distributes drive power between the front and rear axles, depending on weather conditions, road surface and gradient. This leads to greater flexibility and an enhanced, sportier drive.

Audi A5

The Audi A5 Coupé is a unique blend of style and power. Exceptional design is something you’ll find everywhere in the Audi A5 Coupé – from the beautiful lines of the exterior to the highly efficient fuel-injection technology within. An aerodynamic shape, muscular wheel arches and low-profile alloy wheels give this car a very special blend of style and performance, which is only emphasised by the choice of dynamic engines and transmissions available.

Efficiency

At Audi, doing less is something we’re trying to do more of. We’re working to use less fuel, release less CO2 and waste less energy. It’s why we’ve incorporated a number of more efficient technologies into the Audi A5 Coupé.

When the vehicle accelerates, this energy is used to relieve the load on the alternator, resulting in a fuel saving of up to 3%.

Efficiency programme

The Driver’s Information System in the Audi A5 Coupé is available with a special efficiency programme, which offers up-to-the-minute advice on ways to help improve fuel economy as you drive. It also shows you which items in your car are using energy, and how much they are using, so you can make an informed choice about which ones to switch off.

Gear-change indicator

Small changes to your driving style can have a big impact on your fuel economy. The gear-change indicator in the Audi A5 Coupé is there to indicate the optimum gear to use for any given speed, encouraging early upshifts to ensure you don’t burn more fuel than is necessary.

tiptronic

The 6-speed tiptronic transmission system is a form of automatic transmission available on Audi models with quattro® permanent all-wheel-drive. The technology converts high-torque engine power into both sporty performance and operating convenience, with crisp, fast gear changes, reduced weight and an optimised gearshift strategy. More spontaneous gear changes are a particular benefit, especially when down-shifting. Both in the ‘D’ (Drive) and ‘S’ (Sport) programme, the advanced electronics used in tiptronic respond efficiently to every driver input, helping to prevent unwanted upshifts when cornering.
