As if the the SUV-coupe segment defined by the BMW X6 and other new automobiles isn’t unusual enough, Audi today unveiled the Cross Cabriolet Quattro concept. The Cross Cabriolet could easily be described as an SUV convertible — something we certainly haven’t seen before.
Audi says it’s “introducing a new vehicle segment” with the unveiling of the car at the Los Angeles Auto Show this week. Does that mean Audi is considering production of such a vehicle? At this point in time, it’s impossible to know.
The Cross Cabrio “combines the genes of a typical dynamic soft-top convertible from Audi with the all-round qualities of a fully fledged SUV,” Audi said in a press release.
The 240 bhp three-litre TDI engine with ultra-low emission technology delivers sporty driving dynamics with exhaust emissions on the level of the EU 6 limits — a standard that won’t be required until 2014.
