The
Audi A1 Sportback, which will be rolling into showrooms in early 2012,
is the
five-door compact Audi for a young, urban public. The close
relationship with its
three-door sister model is evident in the design, the structure of the
lightweight
body and the dimensions of the new model, which measures 3.95 meters
(12.96 ft) in length. It is several millimeters taller and thus offers
more space in
the rear seats.
The Audi A1 Sportback comes
standard with four seats. A
fifth
seat is available on request at no extra charge.
Buyers can choose between three TFSI gasoline and three TDI diesel
engines
producing between 63 kW (86 hp) and 136 kW (185 hp). Audi pairs some
engines with the lightning-fast, seven-speed S tronic transmission.
The A1 Sportback also features many high-end solutions in terms of
controls and
infotainment, including Audi connect. If the high-end media center MMI
navigation
plus is combined with the Bluetooth online car phone, the car can be
connected
to the Internet.
The A1 Sportback features a
light and youthful interior that can be
customized
with fresh colors and many attractive design details to reflect the
customer’s own
personal style. The base price for the five-door model is
€16,950.
