Take away the drop-top and Audi‘s Cross Cabriolet concept car shows what the Q5 4×4 will look like when it arrives next year.

Pitched against BMW‘s X3, it’s based on the A4 platform and will use bigger brother Q7 suspension technology. Powertrain options will include a 240PS 3.0-litre V6 diesel, which Audi claims anticipates Euro6 emission regulations and returns a claimed average 39mpg.
