CARS.COM — Audi debuted the redesigned 2018 A5 and S5 convertibles at the 2017 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The drop-tops have a power soft top that retracts in 15 seconds and raises in 18 seconds. New for 2018 is a one-touch button to retract the roof, and seat belt-mounted microphones for hands-free phone operation with the top down.
Audi’s A5 and S5 convertibles share the same structural and interior design changes as their coupe counterparts that feature more rigid chassis construction, new engine and transmission options and an all-new interior. Read more about the 2018 Audi A5 and S5 here and check out the gallery below.
