Many full-size-class equipment features underscore its status
as a modern gran coupé.
Every Audi Cabriolet is equipped with a classic fabric top.
The open A5 also features a lightweight, fully-automatic soft top for a
dynamically elegant line. The top opens in 15 seconds and closes in 17. Audi
also offers an optional acoustic top with an additional layer of foam that
reduces wind noise even further. When opened, the top folds up into a small
package that takes up little space in the trunk. The trunk holds a best-in-class
320 liters (11.30 cu ft) with the top down and 380 liters (13.42 cu ft) with
the top up. Among the other practical aspects of the Audi A5 Cabriolet are
fold-down rear seat backrests and the large load-through to the interior,
which increases luggage capacity to 750 liters (26.49 cu ft). Automatic belt
feeds for the front seats round out the car ’s comfortable character;
neck-level heating is available as an option. A special coating for the optional
leather trim prevents seats from heating up too much in the sun.
