You can distinguish these two models from each other, only measuring the tape measure of the body of each of them. Although more than recently, this method of identification is applicable to all AUDI brand cars.
Technically, between two models, the difference is much tangible.

Here is just a basic diesel unit with its 8.2 s. Acceleration to "hundreds" does not allow the model to claim even a frisky start from the traffic light.
If earlier quadruple convertibles We also had a sporty-romantic image of inaccessible models, now they are increasingly considered as a comfortable, stylish and profitable car for every day. Progress does not stand still. The convertibles hardly did not live in a convenient automatic roof folding drives. They are not dedicated to the most advanced security and comfort systems. And the quality of the finishes is often superior to a comparable closed version. After all, in the cabriolet - all atpacing.

Recently, the debut "A3 Cabriolet" not only retained, but also continued to develop a compact image sports cabrioletwho became famous for his predecessor.

Typically protruding safety arcs here have given way to an active security system, which automatically triggers in the case of a car coup. Causes respect and a rich set of options available for "A3 Cabriolet": finishing of the salon of genuine leather, sports seats with developed lateral support, blowing deflectors with warm air, soft top with improved noise insulation ...
Built the smallest convertible in the Audi line on the MQB modular platform, where aluminum and hot molding are widely used. Thanks to them, the body has considerable strength. Excellent visibility and comfortable low landing driving literally provoke to a dynamic driving style. To this, the open version also has light responsive reactions. Suspension settings are pretty comfortable, the Option system "Audi Magnetic Ride" allows you to vary the stiffness of the stroke, and the proposed motors will not call weak - there is an option for 125, and there is 180 forces. However, a recently represented 300-strong modification with the "Quattro" drive is worth it.

- For "A5", many modifications are proposed, starting with a 170-strong 1.8 TFSI, which is combined with a variator, and completing three-liter motors (with a six-speed robot), which are represented by gasoline V6 with a capacity of 272 hp. or 245-strong turbodiesel. The average 225-strong modification 2.0 TFSI can be selected with any transmission - mechanical, variator or robot.

Behind the tightened sports silhouette "A5 Cabriolet" actually hides a car with very wide user capabilities. Let's start with the fact that four people will be able to accommodate without much constraints - he has a real spacious salon. Moreover, on the second row, the tissue top in the raised state does not "press" on the head of passengers. The convertible is capable of transporting a fairly solid amount of baggage - with a raised roof the volume of the trunk increases from 320 to 380 liters. And since the three-layer awning is endowed with thermal insulation, the car can be used all year round. But the main argument in favor of "A5 Cabrio" is a very wide choice of modifications. There are models simpler, with mechanics. There is with a variator, with a robot, with a diesel engine, with a powerful gasoline "six" ... and this is excluding the prestigious 333-strong version of "S5 Cabriolet", which also meets the review criteria.
In terms of acoustic comfort, the open "five" will be able to get closer to the same coupe, if you order a roof with a 15-millimeter noise insulating lining. With the smoothness of the stroke, too, there are no problems - partly because the convertible because of the powerful steel struts-amplifiers on the bottom actually moved to the "weight category" of business sedans, for whom the implave riding manners are characteristic. For this reason, choosing this model, you still have to prefer more powerful modifications to not complain after on weak dynamics.

For the interior of the bmw convertible fourth series, a variety of luxurious decoration is available. |

"The car looks sports and muscular. But from the driver's chair, it seems that you are sitting in the usual "treshka" - most of the interior details are taken from a third series sedan. " Dmitry Barinov, "Claxon" №16 '2013

After replenishing the system indexing the models of the new number, the BMW slightly lunned. After all, the entire fourth series is the chassis of a modern sedan-treshka. Consequently, the convertible coupe submitted here can be considered a direct heir to the open third series of former generation.
The layout is traditional for BMW: cooked behind the front axle to the cabin with a motor, with rear-wheel drive and equal to the rave of the axes. But unlike the predecessor, the new "four" has practically no common body panels with a donor sedan, which gives the model individuality. There is an accent and sportiness: narrow headlamps, "gills" ventilation for the front wheels, extended rear wheel arches ... The latter is not a batchor, because the car's track really increased compared to the sedan - for two centimeters in front and three from behind. For better handling, the suspension recalled completely, reducing at the same time for centimeter and clearance.
But if the BMW coupe of the fourth series can be undoubtedly attributed to "Driver's Car", then an open top version is more a walking machine. More than 230 kg of mass, which arose due to a large roof with a complex folding mechanism. But in the cabin - full-fledged four places. Nobody complains about the grindiness or lack of heat - the roof provides in winter thermal insulation is no worse than the sedan. And with the tailored, the front passengers will be overwhelmed with warm air "collars" from deflectors in the backrests of the seats.

- Alternatives to a 3.7-liter atmospheric V6 with a capacity of 333 hp, which is combined only with a seven-step automatic, in "Q60 Cabrio" no. Motor line is well balanced, but it is characterized by increased consumption of gasoline. The transmission has a manual control function and sports mode. - In the closed state, "Q60 Cabrio" is difficult to distinguish from the coupe - the elements of the rigid roof are so thoroughly driven towards each other that the characteristic joints are almost not noticeable. The second advantage of the roof is first-class noise insulation. But in the folded state it occupies almost the entire useful volume of the trunk. - Six airbags, belts with pretension, electronic stabilization, anti-slip and anti-locking system in "Q60 Cabrio" are complemented by adaptive bi-xenon head lighting, and all of the above is standard equipment. - Serial equipment model already includes various sensors and electric drives, advanced multichannel audio system "BOSE OPEN AIR" with HDD and USB, Russian navigation, adaptive climate control "Plasma Cluster", taking into account the intricate movement conditions, heated seats and ventilation, parking display, cruise control and windproof screen. - options for the model are not provided. When ordering a car, the client is offered only to choose an improved finishing package instead of standard. For example, with aluminum decor and skin of light blue, or with a red maple tree decor and with an upholstery of the brown-colored seats. - Solid alloy wheels 19th size, branded analog clocks and leather interior decoration will be on all "Q60 Cabrio".

Since the premiere, he has not undergone any technical change, although from this year the model in all markets is sold under a new name: "Q60 Cabrio" instead of "G37 Cabrio". However, the status of a long-lived in our review does not mean that the model is morally outdated. The salon looks expensive and modern thanks to the successful combination of high-quality finishing materials, thoughtful ergonomics and an advanced multimedia system, which was designed precisely on the open body. The advantages of "Q60 Cabrio" can also be attributed a variety of equipment. In the minuses - a relatively close second row for the model with the largest wheelbase in the review.
Buyers of the cabriolet "Infiniti" there is no modification selection, but the proposed 3,7-liter V6 with a capacity of 333 hp It combines well with a seven-step machine. With such an engine "Q60 Cabrio" simply can not be slow, despite even a heavy mechanism for folding the rigid roof. Pleasant sensations from a dynamic driving suspension will not spoil - for the open top version, the engineers were reconfigured the shock absorbers so that any irregularities are not perceived painfully.
Loses "Q60 Cabrio" in another dispute for the speed, characteristic exclusively for the convertible coupe. To fully fold the rigid roof, it will take 25 seconds, and to raise it again, it is necessary to stop - in motion it is impossible. Finally, in folded form, the roof takes up so many space in the trunk that it is hardly possible to place a small backpack.

And, perhaps, it was most brightly manifested in a two-door coupe-cabriolet "Peugeot 308 CC". The model has a memorable and rather aggressive appearance. What is only the "lion's zev" of the radiator lattice, supplemented by racing air intakes and xenon headlights. No less effectively coupe-convertible looks at the bottom of the diffusers on the bumper and elegant spoiler. Athletic External Data is supported by the word, good controllability achieved by the use of gas-filled shock absorbers, although the dynamic data of the model is one of the most modest in the review.
Despite belonging to the golf class, "308 ss" turned out to be quite spacious and practical. Even with a raised roof, the convertible can be viewed as a full-fledged four-seater vehicle, although the low rear window slightly limits the space on the second row of passengers. By the way, the hard-top "hard-top" with automatic drive for this model produces Magna, so you can not worry about the reliability and quality of the work of this responsible node. At the high level, the interior decoration is made: the skin, chrome, soft plastic ... In "Peugeot" gave themselves a report that the potential buyer "308cc" is a man much more attracted than the bulk of customers.

"Passengers can take with them and luggage, which allow not all convertibles. For example, we calmly drowned four hype traveler bags in the trunk. "
Ruslan Tarasov, "Klakson" № 24 '2013
The model is not new, but with wide possibilities. In the spacious cabin four are placed without much constraints, and the tissue top in the raised state does not "give" on the passengers of the second row. "A5 Cabriolet" is able to carry and solid luggage. Finally, the car can be safely used in winter time - The three-layer awning is endowed with thermal insulation, and in the gamma there are popular modifications "Quattro". By the way, a diverse choice is from a modest 170-strong version with a manual box or a powerable variator to a powerful and prestigious 333-strong "S5 Cabriolet" - another weighty argument look towards the open "five".

Ruslan Tarasov, "Klakson" № 18 '2014
Motor, shifted back for the front axle, equal to the ravine on the axes, the posterior or all-wheel drive base ... open "four" (body F33) was made as if prescription racing car, I do not regret the forces on the thorough break of his donor - the sedan of the third series. From here - narrow dressing headlamps, "gills" ventilation behind the front wheels, extended wheeled arches. The latter is not buttuff, because the car's track has become wider by two centimeters in front and three from behind.

Ruslan Tarasov, "Klakson" № 12 '2013Although it refers to the "E" line, the c-klasse sedan was the basis for the car, which definitely has its advantages.

Georgy Golubev, "Claxon" № 9 '2015
Senior convertible in the BMW gamme does not leave the impression of an impressive car, how in fact he is. A squat contour with obvious racing motifs, grinding the true width and the length of the body, he received from the "six" buy. And in order for the visual effect of athletic pulling to the sports chases, in BMW deliberately made a choice in favor of the lightweight tissue roof instead of a fashionable hard solution. The weight gain relative to the coupe was a total of a hundred kilograms, which is barely noticeable for a model weighing for two tons, and it has accounted for the elements in reinforcing body. From here - impressive dynamic qualities. What kind of modification neither take, in its power class open "six" will be ahead of competitors, and the version "M6" can be attributed to uncompromising racing models. At the same time, the car is comprehensively prepared for large travels. It has high comfort, the most capacious trunk and is distinguished by a very modest appetite on the "cruise" speeds.

"In the dynamics of overclocking to" hundreds "(3.9 s), an open AMG version does not lose the closed compartment, despite the more than the stocilogram increase in the mass."
Even strange why "the most comfortable convertible in the world", as it represents "Mercedes-Benz" himself, appeared only now. From "S-Klasse Coupe" last generation The models got an adaptive air suspension "airmatic", a set of assistants and a luxuriously separated salon, which managed to make sufficiently stretched and wide, despite the bulk compartment under a huge soft roof and its powerful drive.

In order for the volume where the roof is hiding, remained functional, provided for a movable partition that expands the place under luggage. Even more lucky passengers.

Dmitry Barinov, "Claxon" № 9 '2014
Formally, "Continental GTC" with a soft roof corresponds to the 2 + 2 plant formula, but the stock of space on the second row is such that adult passengers will not be crammed here. The spacious salon is a generic feature of the model, because she has a lot in common with the Sedan "Bentley" of the representative class. From him, the convertible inherited the motors, system full drive, Pneumatic suspension, made in the luxury interior style and ... an impressive mass. A noticeable reduction in the body length for the open "dual-timer" "diet" did not. "Continental GTC" is still one of the most severe cabriolets in the review. Therefore, in its driving haggards, much more aristocratic impatiences than sports pigs, and first of all it concerns the top model with the W12 engine. The modification of the V8 and the postwall V8 S have a more balanced set of qualities due to better weight distribution over the axes, other control system settings and adaptive chassis. In addition, the "Bentley" convertible with turbocharged "eights" is less voracious than the flagship version.

Roger - What is it? Differences from the cabriolet
Each body type has its own characteristics. Such division of cars is primarily convenient for the choice of vehicle, taking into account personal preferences. For example, universal are ideally suited to people who often need to carry small loads, crossovers and SUVs to those who like to travel, and sedans and hatchbacks - for urban residents. But this is not the whole bodies. There are also elegant, stylish, sports roadster. What is it, and how do they differ from the cabriolets? In this article we will explore the features of the roadster.
The history of the appearance of roadster in the automotive market
In the first half of the 20th century, the Roadster understood any open-type car with a number of full-size seats. If necessary, instead of the roof manually stretched awning. These machines did not have side windows - there were only tarp curtains with seamless windows made of celluloid. It was on the absence of a roof that could be understood that it was a roadster. Such cars were quite a lot on the roads, because all cars in the body coupe-convertible also belonged to this class.
Unlike modern roadster, cars of those years have not always allocated in sports features. The cars even cost a little cheaper in comparison with other types of body (what you can not say about modern cars) Since there was no need to spend the material for the manufacture of the roof.
The first roadster in the world is the 3/15 PS DA 3 Wartburg Sport model from BMW, presented on the first photo. This car was released as an experiment - they decided to check the profitability of the body. When did you understand that the car really can be cost-effective, released in mass production Model 315/1. This happened in 1934. Then the car blew up the German auto industry - with a weighing of 400 kg, she could develop speed up to 100 km / h, and this in the 30s! So, gradually in the body, Roaster began to produce cars an increasing number of automakers.
Roger - What is it?
If earlier, under the term, they understood all the cars with an open top, now Rostrsen has some of its own features, although it is also perceived, rather as an ideology, because it does not have clear engineering definitions and frames. As a rule, such machines must have the following characteristics:
- sport type (low clearance, streamlined body);
- no roof, and if it is, it must be separate (not built-in);
- cars are designed for two people (only 2 seats in front);
- separate luggage compartment.

Perhaps the most popular of all available roadsters, which can be seen below - SLK from Mercedes-Benz. Not only car enthusiasts are chosen - the model received more than 35 international awards and premiums.

But the VENENO Roadster from Lamborghini has more pronounced features of a sports car. He was also released in 2017. Tuning bodies and other interesting elements, this beast will shock imagination by one external species. What to say about its technical characteristics.
Price for Rostina: Comparison with the cost of other types of body
Now, knowing what it is - Roger, what features has and characteristics are famous for, it is worth considering price policies. If earlier the cost was very low, then modern roadsters, as well as rare models, are sold relatively expensive - on average 3-4 million rubles.
