The second-gen Audi A1 is bigger, brawnier, and a whole lot more mature than the ageing model it replaces. In other words, it's all grown-up.
The mid-spec Audi A1 Sportback has been revamped for 2015, boasting a heavily revised engine, premium polish and sharper pricing...
The Audi A1 has just been updated and re-focused in its mission to fight the top-selling Mini. Here we test the new, performance-focused 1.8 TFSI S line variant.
The 2015 Audi A1 is the premium German car maker’s first model with more rings in its badge than cylinders under its bonnet. A new 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo petrol engine leads the charge in the updated Audi A1 Sportback range, and is joined by a larger 1.8-litre for the flagship performance variant, along with subtle styling tweaks and extra equipment across the line-up...
Rob Margeit comes to grips with Audi's new, punchier, bigger and more refined A1 hatch.
Read the article here. The face-lifted Audi A1 will arrive as soon as May, introducing two all-new engines, electromechanical steering, optional automatic transmission for the base model and new trim levels. In a first for Audi, the A1 will be offered with a 1.0 TFSI three-cylinder engine, developed by Volkswagen Group...
Just because a brand is considered to be prestigious doesn’t mean it can’t have a wallet-friendly offering in its line-up. That’s exactly the case for these two vehicles – the 2015 Audi A1 1.0 TFSI and the 2015 Mini 5 Door One – because the pitch behind these compact five-door hatchbacks is to offer an affordable entry point to each of their respective ranges...
‘Premium light’ is a term for more than just watered-down beer charged exorbitantly at the footy. The reborn Mini Cooper and original Audi A1 each ask around double that of similarly sized hatchbacks, which start from around $15K, but their makers would argue they are big on flavour and … well, premium-ness. For buyers living in the big smoke, they should be close to ideal...
Audi A1 Attraction vs Volkswagen Polo GTI Model Overview Audi A1 Attraction three-door six-speed manual – $29,900 Volkswagen Polo GTI five-door seven-speed DSG – $28,990 Most people with their hearts set on purchasing the newest and smallest Audi to hit our shores – the Audi A1 – have probably given little consideration to the standard Volkswagen Polo range...
Audi Australia has been forced to delay the release of its anticipated A1 hatchback and Q3 SUV until the fourth quarter of 2019, as head office continues to work through the backlog of of WLTP compliance in Europe. Originally, the all-new A1 was meant to hit local showrooms during the second quarter, while the new-generation Q3 was slated to arrive around the middle of the year...
The Audi A1 Allroad has been spied once more, this time doing a spot of cold weather testing in Sweden. Compared to the regular A1, this off-road-style variant has taller ride height, different front and rear bumper designs, revised side sills, and, possibly, some extra protection for the wheel arches...
A prototype believed to be the 2019 Audi A1 Allroad has been snapped testing at the Nurburgring Nordschleife, wearing extra body cladding and a taller ride height. Beyond what we can see here, there aren't really any details available about the A1 Allroad. Audi has never offered one of its high-riding, toughened-up editions on anything smaller than an A4, so we're sort of in uncharted waters here...
Audi Australia is set to roll out seven important new offerings in the next year or so, as it seeks to bounce back from a few years of declining sales. Between now and the third quarter of 2019 it’ll launch two new SUVs — one a new generation and another just plain new — a new-generation range-opening city car, two new-generation large passenger cars and its first full electric vehicle, the e-tron quattro crossover...
Fast, Fuel Efficient, Cheap. Normally you have to pick two. Fortunately, that is not the case with the Audi A1 Sport(if you buy second hand). The 1.4 Twin Charged engine, coupled with the 7 speed twin-clutch VW-AG S-tronic gearbox is an amazing little package that fits perfectly with the little A1. It is a shame that they have phased it out and now replaced this engine with the 1...
When thinking of Audi and Audi drivers the typical stereotypes surface: boring evolutionary styling, boring dynamics on non-Quattro models, and the middle-aged professional. In 2011 when my anything-but-boring A1 and I were united that stereotype was moot. I was 22, in a low-level management position and a car enthusiast who purchased the car on its merits rather than the four rings dominating the prominent single frame grille...
Please Sir, can I have...less? Throughout the naughties there was a concerning trend of bigger, heavier, faster, more grip, more isolation and thankfully, more economy. Only the latter made me happy. I do not need to pull over 1 lateral G to smile, speed is becoming far less important, and maybe I want to feel the limits of grip on a normal drive! Finally I do not need to be so cocooned, that I am unsure of the motive force in front, beside, behind me, who knows...
I change my car every 18 months. Ive been extremely happy with my Audi A1 in cortina white. I like having a prestige badge in a compact car especially for the streets in newtown and the inner west. The followup care with Audi Australia has been exceptional. The is my second german built car and I really notice the exceptional build quality...
