New Audi A1: a chic and resolutely technological city car
The new Audi A1 was showcased at the Paris Motor Show in the autumn of 2018, 8 years after the release of the first generation. As a bonus, a newer smaller model has made its appearance in the line, the Audi A1 Citycarver. Find out what the new version of the small German city car has in store for you.
Audi A1 : Sportback or CityCarver, the city is yours
The new A1 aims to modernize the line while capitalizing on the undeniable success of the small city car. Many changes have been made as a result.
For having relatively similar dimensions (despite a 9 cm larger wheelbase), the lines appear sharper. In addition, only the 5-door version is available in the catalogue.
AUDI A1, performance and quality
5 engines and 6 finishes to find your happiness
Audi A1 Sportback, the queen of the city
On board, the materials are still of the highest quality. The human/machine interface, for its part, has been reworked with the use of touch and digital screens. The connection with your phone has also been redesigned with the addition of an induction charging system and an improvement of the wireless connection system. Roominess at the rear is improving and the size of the boot goes from 280 litres to 335 litres.
In the catalogue, Audi offers six finishes: Sportback, Design, Advanced, Business Line, S Line, and Design Luxe. Under the bonnet, it evolves by offering only petrol versions. Two engine blocks developing different power levels propel the A1:
- 3 cylinders of 95 hp (Sportback version),
- 3 cylinders of 116 hp,
- 4 cylinders of 150 hp,
- 4 cylinders of 200 hp.
In the absence of an ultra sport Quattro version, the 4-cylinder block of 200 hp will satisfy those who are looking for performance.
Audi A1 citycarver
By presenting the new small model of the A1 line, the Citycarver, the manufacturer with the rings intends to meet a clientele that is increasingly keen on SUVs.
At first glance, there is no doubt that this version is different from other vehicles in its class with its ride height raised by 4 cm. Likewise, you will quickly notice the characteristic wheel guards, which are larger and in a different body colour. In addition, the shields have also been redesigned and incorporate angular air intakes at the front, which gives the newcomer a more sporty look.
However, this Audi “all-terrain” does not intend to stand apart and capitalize on the strengths of the line. It thus uses the same engines (3 cylinders of 95 hp and 116 hp) and the same transmission as the rest of the A1 line. Behind the wheel, you will therefore find the excellent driving characteristics that we know. Likewise, inside, apart from the addition of splashes of colour, you will find the same atmosphere and the same level of finish.
This version is therefore more of a new finish added to the A1 line than a new full-fledged model of the All Road type. Its objective is more to target backpackers who like to ride on less conventional terrain than those in the city. From this point of view, this Audi has everything to please them! The new A1 brings real progress in terms of innovation and comfort on a line already recognized as being a benchmark. Discover it in our Segond dealer in Monaco.
