Used and nearly newĪudi launched the second-generation A1 in 2018, so you shouldn't have too much trouble in sourcing a decent used example. Other possible rivals in the style-led small car market include the Peugeot 208 and the Fiat 500, but neither feels as grown-up or premium as the Audi A1. It has the less practical MINI line-up to contend with of course, but its biggest problem may be the sheer quality and desirability of its Volkswagen Group stablemate the VW Polo, which offers similar tech and build quality, for a lot less cash. Given its high pricing, the Audi A1 is trying to carve a bit of a niche of its own as ‘the’ premium supermini, it seems. The old S Line Competition version with a 204bhp 2.0-litre unit, badged 40 TFSI is not longer offered. The 35 TFSI introduces a 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine with 148bhp mated to the seven-speed auto transmission. Then there's the 108bhp 30 TFSI, offered with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed S tronic auto. A1 powertrain options are a mere shadow of what was available before, but at least there are a decent number of trim levels for customers to browse.Įngine options for the A1 include a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder unit with 94bhp, badged 25 TFSI and available with either five-speed manual, or seven-speed S tronic auto transmission. The previous model was available in three-door guise too, but that option is no more. The second-generation Audi A1 is now only available as a five-door hatchback, which Audi refers to as a Sportback, while the higher-riding Citycarver model with its SUV-lite styling is no longer available. Engine choice is limited, but performance is satisfactory, and with only a roomy five-door body available it’s practical too. The interior design looks very upmarket-Audi too, but closer inspection reveals very similar materials used to the much cheaper VW Polo. It wins back ground when it comes to refinement though, as the A1 is almost as hushed and relaxed to ride in as a Mercedes C-Class. The reality is less exciting on the road, because although the A1 handles very competently and rides well, it doesn’t have the sporty responses of its key rival the MINI. The above rating scale also applies to ratings on bank loans and other instruments.The latest Audi A1 certainly ups its game from a visual perspective, and with its wide grille similar to that of the R8 supercar, the luxurious supermini looks distinctly sporty.Securities with this rating are in default or are expected to be in default soon.
