After twoconcepts and an insufferable volume of teasing, the 2011 Audi A1 has strictly arrived with the sights set squarely on a Mini Cooper.

Inspired by the Metroprojec t Quattro from 2007, the all-new A1 is a faithful distractio n of the conceptual prototype, complete with the squat position, reduced overhangs and four customizable col ors for the roof arches. With the profile reminiscent of the stretched and squashed TT, a A1 spans 155.5 inches prolonged, 68.5 inches wide as well as 56 inches high, with a 97.2-inch wheelbase. Ten exterior colors are available, al ong with front and back LEDs and Xenon headlamps.

Audi’s focus on the interior starts and ends with customization, with available LED lighting, black, grey, beige or “wasabi” green contrasting materials, colored air vents and an discretionary MMI complement with the 6.5-inch screen, 10-speaker, 465-watt Bose audio system, 20 gig harddrive and Bluetooth connectivity. Although backseat passengers were apparently an afterthought, a A1 boasts 9.43 cubic feet of storage space in the rear, with 32.49 cubic feet of space available when the rear seats have been folded prosaic.

Proclivity will be provided by a choice of either two gasoline or diesel powerplants, with the 1.6-liter TDIs churning out either 90 horsepower and 169 bruise feet of torque or 105 ponies as well as 184 lb-ft of twist. A gasoline mills will be available in possibly 1.2- or 1.4-liter TFSI variants, wi th the former putting out 86 hp and 118 lb-ft of torque as well as a latter delivering 122 hp and 147 lb-ft by possibly a five- or six-speed primer. An optional seven-speed S tronic (dual clutch) transmission is available, and both gasoline engines deliver an n ormal of 46 mpg. For the time being, the A1 is only available with front-wheel drive.

A 2,303-pound induce will go upon sale in Europe after this year after it’s official unveiling at the Geneva Motor Uncover, with pri ces starting during around 16,000 euro. Two trims – Attraction or Ambition – are available, with an S Line accessories package as well as 18-inch wheels coming during launch. All the sum can be had in the press release after a burst, but still no word nonetheless on U.S. availability.

A next big Audi – A Audi A1

The A1 is a loyal Audi – it is both the premium option as well as the sportiest automobile in the small compacts category. It comes with powerful, rarely fit engines as well as an agile chassis, and delights with an emotional pattern and excellent fit and finish. The A1 has the extended portfolio of modernized technologies on house; its infotainment system, in particular, sets new standards in a category.

As a newcomer in the compact segment, a A1 appeals primarily to immature, lifestyle-oriented business, offering them the tall degree of freedom for individual pattern. Audi’s ultimate will hit a streets this summer with a base price of around 16,000 euros.

Pattern

It has the confident road stance – absolute, particular and full of character: A A1 is both the premium option and the athlete in its category. The pronounced encompassing shoulder line, the color-contrasted roof physical condition and a unusually neatly sloping C-pillars give a three-door an unmistakable conformation. A dimensions also request a dynamic line s: 3.95 meters (12.96 feet) prolonged, the latest indication from Audi is an impressive 1.74 meters (5.71 feet) wide though only 1.42 meters (4.66 feet) tall. The wheelbase measures 2.47 meters (8.10 feet); a overhangs have been correspondingly short.

The design of the A1 is firmly integrated into the brand’s pattern denunciation as well as unique in the compress segment – romantic, confidant as well as progressive. Audi has a repute for taking a lot of ideas and innovations from the concept cars into series production, as well as the A1 continues this convention. Many of the features as well as innovative ideas from a 2007 A1 project quattro showcar have already made it to series production in a A1.

The front end bears an observable family similarity, though facilities singular accents as well as innovations in the sum. The single-frame grille, for example, is harmoniously integrated into the front end as well as with the pointed top corners represents the brandnew evolutionary stage. The braces are arranged horizontally to emphasize the breadth of a front. The vast, plastically modeled air intakes with their horizontal bars additionally minister to a sporty coming of the A1. A haze lights are located in their outer corners.

A three-dimensionally styled headlights additionally have their own special demeanour. The A1 looks dynam ic and strong to a highw ay. THE strongly winding wing structures the interior of a headlights. As with every Audi, the daytime running lights have been customary. With a optional xenon plus units, a daytime using lights have been implemented using LEDs as well as the light guide. They appear as a homogenous strip which traces the wing.

Absolute pattern component: the hurricane line

A most striking impression when viewed from the si de is the straight, slightly ceiling course of a lines, that visually stretch as well as accelerate the A1. A upper corner of a hood extends below the side windows to the rear end. As with a Audi TT sports car, the indicate where the encompassing metalcover meets a fenders is the indicate of origin for the typical Audi pattern element – the tornado line. It continues in the door as well as a rear side. A line runs closely and precisely above the wheel wells, giving a A1 the absolute highway stance.

The heavy shadowy edge beneath the tornado line, a powerfully arched sheet metal surfaces on the flanks and a rising energetic line on top of a sills have been also evil of the brand’s design language. The same is true of the expressively shaped circle wells, that provide shelter to wheels measuring up to 18 inches, and for the ratio of piece steel surfaces to a greenhouse, which is two-thirds to one-third. The side mirrors are mounted on a doors like with a sports automobile; the door handles are distinctly bow-shaped.

Another Audi feature is the sportily flowing roof physical condition, that is optionally available in one of four contrasting colors. The physical condition flows into a C-pillar which is agree than upon a coupe, giving the rear finish a energetic outline that is serve emphasized by the roof spoiler.

When viewed from a back, an encompassing luggage compartment induce emphasizes the breadth – an disdainful underline brandnew to the compress class. The hatch is distinctively shaped. The wedge-shaped single-piece tail lights additionally underline wideness as well as are plastically integrated into the design. In combination with xenon plus, the tail lights make use of LED record. Because they cannot be seen when a luggage cell induce is open, the Audi A1 has one more LED lamps in the side flanks. This solution is another e.g. of the amatory attention to item as well as unrestrained for technology of a Audi engineers.

The tail lights have a sporty red frame, with the curved club dividing their chambers. Audi optionally equips them with light-emitting diodes as well as light guides – a tail light then appears as the continuous strip. A sporty black diffuser in the dress forms the bottom of a rear finish and visually places the car resolutely upon the highway. Depending on the engine, the exhaust complement ends in one or two tailpipes on a left side.

Audi offers a A1 in 10 exterior colors. The solid finishes are Amalfi White, Cumulus Blue and Shining Black; a metallic colors have been Ice Silver, Phantom Black, Teak Brownish-red, Shiraz Red, Scuba Blue, Misano Red as well as Sphere Blue.

Body

An Audi credo additionally applies to the A1: A physique establishes the foundation for the quality, for the accurate, sporty handling as well as for reserve. Two-thirds of the body comprises tall- as well as ultra high-strength steels of different strength classes.

A strongest of these have been a hot-shaped steels. A blanks are heated in the furnace to extreme temperatures then immediately made in a water-cooled dire die. This fast change in temperature imparts them with extreme tensile strength. Hot-shaped steels make up the great 11 percent of the physique. They have been used for the lower crossmember in the footwell, in a back sections of the longitudinal members, in the B-pillars and in a roof support – anywhere impassioned strength combined with low weight is particularly critical.

A high- and ultra high-strength steels have been a poignant factor for a h igh torsional rigidity of the physique and the low weight of only 221 kilograms (487.22 lb). These two values as well as the dimensions have been used to discriminate the tall lightweight peculiarity of the superstructure whilst additionally providing the basis for the high level of occupant insurance.

A A1 comes customary with two front airbags, side airbags in the backrests of the front seats as well as two curtain conduct airbags. Belt tensioners as well as leather belt force limiters plus the Audi integral headrest complement turn out the package of retention systems. Isofix child seat anchor points in the rear have been customary. Belt bend sensors at all seats have been another increasing safety underline. And when it comes to pedestrian protection, the A1 is additionally versed with cutting corner technology.

Low-speed collisions – light bumps in parking lots and a so-called typical claim pile-up so important for a insurance rating – do not result in any major repairs. A layout of the bumpers, a crossmember at the back of them as well as a longitudinal members protect cost-intensive components such as a radiator as well as air conditioners.

Aerodynamically optimized: from the front skirt to the rear spoiler

With 0.32 fellow of drag for the base model, the newest Audi is between the most aerodynamic cars in its category. This is a result of endless fine-tuning during the Ingolstadt Wind Tunnel Core. The entire body has been optimized – from a rear spoiler, togetherwith a spoiler edges, to a underbody and a wheels. The aerodynamic underbody largely covers the underbody, safeguarding it as well as creating auspicious aerodynamic air upsurge.

A corners as well as alternative corner regions of the skirts feature a worldly design that not only sinks the coefficient of drag, but also improves driving fortitude during high speeds. A area around the grille is completely sealed so that the inflowing air reaches the radiator with probably no waste instead of apropos violent. Even such subtleties as the upsurge of air through the engine compartment have been optimized to the excellent detail with respect to thermo- and aerodynamics.

Another of a body’s strengths is the acoustics. A Audi growth engineers clinging considerable attention to the sound deviation of the vast piece steel panels as well as their rigidit ies. All regions during that forces are induced during driving were specially reinforced. A lightweight insulation package brings a acoustics in a passenger cabin up to the premium turn.

The A1 will be built at a Audi plant in Brussels. Audi invested more than 100 million euros in the modernization of a prolongation facility in sequence to completely satisfy a most stringent of peculiarity standards.

Interior

Sportiness, precision and youthful mutation – these themes impersonate a interior of the A1. The designers looked to airplane wings for inspiration for a elegantly curving instrument row. The four turn, far-protruding air nozzles have been suggestive of a turbines of a jet.

The core console, with its integrat ed strip of delegate switches, resembles the stern of the yacht and appears to float above the center hovel. The control section for a climate control complement and the three cylindrical rotary dials of a optional involuntary meridian control system are another visual and haptic prominence upon board the A1. The instrument panel is additionally home to the head unit for the airwave or the optional MMI control as well as infotainment complement. The display, which is standard with the concert airwave or higher, is retracted into the instrument row and extends ceiling at a pull of the button. This designation onallsides, ideal for quick reading, is the singular selling point in this car class.

A instrument cluster in chronographic design with a large round dials – black fac es, red needles, as well as white beam and numbers – is laid out obviously as well as elegantly. As always with Audi, operation via a steering column stalks is judicious as well as ergonomically perfect. At night the instruments are illuminated in white, a buttons red.

With a LED interior lighting pack age, a A1 brings 100 percent LED technology to an interior in a premium compress category for a initial time. Not only is the ambient lighting in a doors as well as roof module realized with LED record, so, aswell, have been the interior lights, celebrationofthemass lights, footwell lights and makeup lights.
An additional pattern highlight was combined with the help of LED light guide record. If desired, the white corona shines inaroundaboutway from a contours of a Bose woofer bezel to visually underscore a high-tech character of a receptivetoadvice system.

The discretionary motorist information system integrates the display between the instruments. As in the large Audi models, a system can be controlled using buttons, rocker switches as well as roller switches in the optional multifunction steering circle.

A complement bundles information from the audio sources and a discretionary navigation system. THE complicated tabs concept in the arrangement and the freely-programmable favorites button hav e operation easy as well as discerning. The driver report system is monochrome and comes customary with MMI navigation plus.

Beneficial: a on-board mechanism with efficiency program

The on-board mechanism with efficiency module is linked to the motorist information system. It displays interpretation applicable to fuel consumption as well as gives recommendations for efficient driving. An lengthened vi ew of a gear-change indicator signals to a motorist when he or she should change gears. An additional duty provides information on that on-board consumers, such as a climate control system or the back window defogger, are active and how much fuel they have been immoderate.

A seats in a A1 offer good hold, superintendence as well as await as well as chair persons of all sizes intensely comfortably. A height-adjustable driver’s seat is standard. The Ambition trim line includes sport seats with lumbar await, as well as the passenger chair additionally comes height-adjustable as standard. A easy-entry duty for comfortable access to the back is also customary with the Ambition package.

Copiousness of storage is accessible during every seat – two crater holders upon the console of the core tunnel, pockets in the doors as well as a back side trim as well as the power opening. Upon the base indication, there is the fold-up cell on a instrument row instead of the on-board monitor. Audi additionally offers an optional storage package with additional stowage options.

The premium character of a Audi A1 is expressed in each final item of the interior – in the selection of the materials, in their fit and finish as well as in the tight, even gaps. The surface of a instrument row is gently backed with foam; all buttons and controls pierce precisely; even a pull hoop that unlatches a hood recover does so crisply and precisely.

Standard with the Ambition trim line and optional with Attraction are countless aluminum-look control elements, togetherwi th a entry strips, a dials for the involuntary meridian control system and a light dials. Furthermore, the ring of a three-spoke sport steering wheel, the parking brake hoop and the rigging change lever have been wrapped in tannedhide and adorned with subtle aluminum clips.

Youthful as well as new: colors and materials

A materials in the interior vary in between the two lines. Attraction features black or titanium gray fine cloth upholstery with the core console, armrest, map pocket and speaker grills additionally being titanium gray. The sport seats in the Aspiration line have a two-color pattern featuring titanium gray or wasabi immature as a con trasting color to black. A interior is also available in black. The media style package offers velvet beige as an pick. The optional tannedhide seats accessible with a Aspiration line as well as the media character package have been offered in a choice of three colors as well as three combinations.

All about colors and trim is novel, youthful and lifestyle-oriented. The air nozzle housings are available in a wide range of colors – with matt or high-gloss black customary depending upon a trim line. They are also optionally available in high-gloss white, titanium gray, wasabi green, talisman red or velvet beige to compare a color of the trim. Audi also offers the range of tasteful colors for a doorway armrests as well as the console on a center tunnel for all trim lines.

A luggage compartment of the Audi A1 has plane walls; a loading edge is low for easy loading and unloading. It has a base volume of 267 liters (9.43 cubic feet). A double load floor is standard.

A split back seat can be folded down quickly and simply to increase luggage genius to roughly 920 liters (32.49 cubic feet) if loaded to the roof. Two tiny latches secure a load building when it is folded up. Audi also offers an optional luggage compartment package with unsentimental storage boxes under a load building, the multi-fixing point wit h folding hooks, a stretch net, the en ergy opening, a second light as well as a strap retainer.

Audi does not compromise quality in the luggage cell, either. A fasten unlocks electronically, togetherwith around a remote key fob. It swings up and falls firmly into a latch. Its grip has the separate spring-loaded cover that keeps it from getting unwashed – an additional standard Audi detail.

Infotainment systems

A A1 is a premium automobile for complicated people – it offers a range of state-of-the-art infotainment and multimedia systems without delay from the luxury class.

The infotainment complement comprises modular components based around the standard chorus radio, which has an mp3-capable CD expostulate and GALA speed-dependent volume control. The carol airwave delivers its sound to four loudspeakers.

The subsequent step up features a new concert radio, the versatile device that is further equipped with a CD drive. A separate, retractable on-board monitor – a high-resolution, 6.5 inch color display – is customary with this airwave. It additionally facilities the dual tuner, an SDHC memory card reader, an AUX-in connection as well as 6 loudspeakers front and rear.

The unison airwave also unlocks a preference of the discretionary connectivity package, which includes the navigation system preparation. This allows a patron to add an Audi map-based navigation section to the airwave at a later time. The compulsory hardware is already installed in the radio. The patron can purchase a complement activation as well as an SDHC label with the navigation data through Audi Genuine Accessories during any time. Activation is achieved by the Audi play. The connectivity package also includes the Bluetooth interface, an SDHC card reader and the Audi music interface.

The tip of the line is MMI navigation plus, a high-end media core which is the benchmark in the compress car class. It comprises four primary components – a categorical unit with a 60 gigabyte hard drive, the radio unit, a MMI control depot and the tone display. A retractable 6.5 inch display facilities superb images. It displays the graphics as good as the cover art for the audio titles. A navigation map is also displa yed in 3D.

MMI navigation plus can store 20 gigabytes of song files. It offers the Bluetooth interface as well as the Au di song interface (AMI) to connect complicated mobile media players very simply and conveniently. It includes a expostulate for audio as well as video DVDs as well as intelligent voice control – a motorist can verbalise a finish navigation residence during once. The driver information system is additionally integrated into a package.

Classic Audi proof: a MMI control depot

With the discerning proof, a MMI control terminal is structured likewise to the units from the vast Audi models. A large rotary pushbutton is during a core of the unit. It can be rocked in 4 directions like the joystick, that creates most functions even some-more convenient. THE variety of tough and soft keys, a volume control, as well as slots for the storage media have been organised around and above a executive controller.

Audi offers the range of additional modules for a MMI navigation plus as well as the concert radio – a Bluetooth interface for convenient telephony as well as transferring song as well as video, a CD changer, a digital airwave (DAB) tuner as well as dual premium sound systems: a 180 watt Audi receptivetoadvice complement with ten speakers as well as the Bose surround sound complement. A latter includes the ten-channel, 465 watt amplifier and 14 speakers, including a subwoofer. The multiple of MMI n avigation plus and the Bose surround sound system enables the reproduction of 5.1 surround sound. A special optical prominence: The woofers in the doors are inaroundaboutway lit with light beam LEDs.

Drivetrain Opening data are subjectto figures)

Audi will initially offer a A1 with four engines. The two TFSI gasoline engines and the two TDI diesels cover a power range from 63 kW (86 hp) to 90 kW
(122 hp). Each of them is state-of-the-art.

All of a engines employ approach fuel injection as well as turbocharging. This downsizing concept joined with technologies from the Audi modular efficiency height give them extensive energy with minimal fuel expenditure ranging from 3.8 to
5.4 liters per 100 km (43.56 – 61.90 US mpg).

A entry-level gasoline engine is the new 1.2 TFSI. It generates 63 kW (86 hp) and produces its rise torque of 160 Nm (118.01 lb-ft) already in between 1,500 and 3,500 rpm. Joined with a five-speed primer delivery, the four-cylinder accelerates the A1 from 0 to 100 km/h (0 – 62.14 mph) in 12.1 seconds on its approach to a tip speed of 179 km/h (111.23 mph). In the EU driving cycle, it consumes usually 5.1 liters of fuel per 100 km (46.12 US mpg), which corresponds to only 119 grams of CO2/km (191.51 g/mile).

Downsizing from Audi: turbocharging instead of banishment

The newly developed four-cylinder exemplifies the Audi philosophy of downsizing, a substitution of turbocharging for volume. A engine with two-valves per cylinder displaces only 1,197 cc and has been rigorously optimized for low weight as well as low friction. The cast aluminum crankcase has its own cooling loop separate from a cylinder head. A water in the retard is not circulated immediately after the engine is proposed, enabling a engine to come up to heat some-more quickly and cutting a phase of increase frictional resistance due to cold oil.

A 1.4 TFSI ups the ante with 90 kW (122 hp). The rise torque of 200 Nm (147.51 lb-ft) is continuously accessible between 1,500 as well as 4,000 rpm. THE turbocharger with a water-cooled intercooler pressurizes a 1,390 cc engine with 4 valves per cylinder.

Together with a seven-speed S tronic, a 1.4 TFSI gets the A1 up to highway speed in 9.1 seconds. Top speed is 200 km/h (124.27 mph). The standard six-speed manual transmission bumps the time for a sprint to 9.2 seconds, but does not affect tip speed. Average fuel expenditure is only 5.1 and 5.4 liters/
100 km (43.56 as well as 46.12 US mpg), respectively, in the EU test cycle.

The power outlay of a new 1.6 TDI comes from a displacement of 1,598 cc. Inner friction in the compact four-cylinder has been systematically minimized. Audi offers dual versions of this engine. A some-more powerful 1.6 TDI unit produces 77 kW (105 hp) as well as 250 Nm (184.39 lb-ft) between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm, as well as is coupled with a five-speed primer delivery. The 16-valve engine accelerates the A1 strenuously by the standard sprint in 10.8 seconds prior to reaching the top speed of 187 km/h (116.20 mph) while consuming an normal of just
3.9 liters/100 km (60.31 US mpg).

A second version of a 1.6 TDI generates 66 kW (90 hp) and 230 Nm (169.64 lb-ft) of torque in between 1,500 as well as 2,500 rpm. Coupled with the five-speed manual transmission, it accelerates the A1 from 0 to 100 km/h (0 – 62.14 mph) in 12.2 seconds. Its reaches the top speed of 179 km/h
(111.23 mph) and offers model fuel economy of 3.8 liters/100 km (61.90 US mpg), which corresponds to 99 grams of CO2/km (159.33 g/mile).

All four engines in the A1 make use of a technology from a Audi modular efficiency height – the recuperation complement uses an intelligent voltage controller for the generator to redeem appetite during a braking and coasting phases and sto re it atthemoment in the battery. A next time the automobile accelerates, this energy flows behind into a on-board electrical complement, relieving the bucket upon a generatorofelectricpower.

A 4 engines also come standard with the second technology from a Audi modular efficiency platform – the start-stop system. This turns the engine off when the car is at rest, if a gear selector push is in neutral and a driver’s foot has left the purchase pedal. Start-stop then turns the engine back upon as shortly as a purchase pedal is vexed – all a while functioning quietly, conveniently, and quickly.

The start-stop complement also harmonizes perfectly with the seven-speed S tronic, the high-tech transmission with that a A1 underscores its unusually sporty position. A Audi dual-clutch transmission combines the preference of a torque converter transmission with a dynamics and efficiency of the primer transmission. It changes gears insideof the couple of hundredths of the second without any obvious stop of pulling power, smoothly as well as very absolutely.

Weighing only around 70 kilograms (154.32 lb), the seven-speed S tronic additionally helps to save weight. The dual clutches run dry – a rejecting of a oil supply serve increases the already tall potency of a transmission. Energy is granted to the electrohydraulic actuator as indispensable.

The motorist can operate the seven-speed S tronic via the selector lever or discretionary paddles upon the steering circle, as in the sports car. There have been also two fully automatic handling modes available. In D mode, the transmission government system operates the engine as mostly as possible at low speeds to save fuel; in
S mode, a driving character is sporty and the engine speeds aloft. A mountain begin assist that binds the A1 when starting on the hill is customary.

Chassis

A front-wheel-drive Audi A1 is the sportiest automobile in the compact category. It is nimble as well as flexible in a city; steady and accurate on interurban roads, and comfortable on the mainroad. It owes these qualities essentially to a highly advanced framework with the far-reaching lane and offset weight distribution.

A engineers clinging the great deal of courtesy to a distribution of axle loads during a development of the A1. Measuring usually 81 centimeters (31.89 inches), a front overhang is scarcely short. Depending on a engine, only between 61 and 63 percent of the weight rests upon the front axle, the low value for a compact automobile. A series of details contribute to this, such as the onallsides of the battery, which with many engine options is underneath a luggage compartment. With a base weight of only 1,045 kilograms (2,303.83 lb), the A1 is a lightest vehicle in a premium compact class.

The front suspension comprises the MacPherson construction with lower triangular wishbones. A steering impulse from a electrohydraulic rack-and-pinion power steering, which is some-more fit than a true hydraulic complement, is eliminated via reduced paths to the focus bearing for extemporaneous steering reply as well as accurate, supportive feedback by the steering circle.

Approach: the power steering

During a comparativemeasure of 14.8:1, the steering is sportily approach, requiring usually slight steering angles at a circle. A high turn-in of the front wheels keeps a branch circle to 10.6 meters (34.78 feet) – both factors give a A1 the ultimate in agility in city traffic as good as on open roads.

Audi painstakingly tuned the front axle orientation, the stabilizer club and the springs as well as dampers for sporty and offset doing. A torsion-beam back axle with separate springs and dampers facilities brandnew beam bearings which were developed from the ground up. The Ambition trim line comes standard with a sport suspension featuring taut springs and dampers.

A A1 comes versed wit h the new Audi technology regardless of the engine selected – the ESP stabilization system additionally includes an electronic differential lock. Similar to the automatic locking differential, it creates a already agile doing even more neutral by largely expelling understeer as well as improving traction. If the electronics detect which a bucket on the front inside wheel is markeddown too most, it initiates brief, tranquil braking of that wheel. A excess torque afterwards flows to the outside wheel, which can apply more power to the highway. Highway behavior is even more precise, agile, fast as well as neutral, serve enhancing design reserve and subjective certainty in the automobile.

With the competition modus, a ESP A1 is custom-tailored for agile pushing. A stabilization complement controls vast, absolute wheel brakes. A front discs are internally ventilated and measure in be tween 256 as well as 288 millimeters (10.08 and 11.34 inches) in diameter, depending upon the engine. The rear wheels have been equipped with powerful disc brakes. A Attraction trim line facilities 15-inch wheels; Ambition comes with 16-inch alloy wheels.

Audi offers optional 17-inch expel aluminum wheels, with some designs featuring modern bicolor designs, as well as wide -format 215/40 tires. quattro GmbH offers
18-inch cast aluminum wheels and wide-format 225/35 tires.

Tall performance: the circle brakes

The sporty performance, top-class safety and joy compulsory in the premium compact class place tall demands on a brakes. A brake complement of the
Audi A1 was comparison specifically for the opening of a different variants.

Even a models with the entry turn engines should thus have copiousness of braking power in haven. Every vehicle comes equipped with ventilated front brakes up front and massive stop discs in the back.

Sport steering wheel

In gripping with the vehicle’s sporty character, a A1 comes standard with a grippy three-spoke competition steering circle that can be optionally wrapped in excellent Nappa leather and embellished with high-quality chrome-design elements.

A particular highlight is the brandnew operating judgment of the discretionary multifunction switch, that enables the convenient operation of a on-board mechanism, write, audio source and navig ation system directly from the steering circle.
Change paddles which capacitate fast manual gear changes have been optionally accessible in combination with an S tronic transmission.

Apparatus as well as trim

Audi offers the A1 in two trim levels. Attraction is a richly appointed charismatic chronicle; Ambition a sporty as well as energetic various. Both lines can be combined with a media style package, which offers attractive infotainment and interior design options. Features such as the navigation package can additionally be purchased later, keeping the A1 fresh as well as attractive for years to come. A ultimate member of a Audi family also follows a fresh, immature line with respect to materials and colors in a interior.

The Attraction line comes equipped with the number of gentle facilities – the chorus radio, a radio remote-controlled executive locking system, power-adjustable side mirrors, energy w indows and a height-adjustable driver’s chair. Standard passive safety facilities include two front airbags, side airbags as well as conduct airbags. Belt force limiters, the integral Audi headrest complement and Isofix anchor points for kid reserve seats in the back round out a program.

The Aspiration trim line can be identified at a peek – giving it divided have been the
16-i nch alloy wheels as well as a haze lights. A interior of the A1 Ambition features aluminum-look touches, the leather-wrapped sport st eering wheel and the motorist report complement. The sport seats feature an easy-entry function and lumbar supports, and the passenger chair is additionally height-adjustable.

Optionally accessible for the Ambition trim line is the S line sport package, which includes, though is not limited to, a following: 17- or 18-inch cast aluminum wheels, S line competition suspension with energetic suspension tuning, leather-wrapped sport steering circle and sport seats.

Most of a discretionary equipment that Audi has directed towards for a A1 comes without delay from the luxury class. These embody extraneous options such as the xenon plus headlights with LED daytime using lights, a LED tail lights and the optional 17-inch wheels with 215/40 tires. quattro GmbH offers 18-inch expel aluminum wheels.

Audi has also clinging a good understanding of attention to the aspect of light and vision. The high-beam partner uses a camera to detect other vehicles as well as towns as well as automatically switch in between the low and high beams. It is total with a light as well as rain sensor, that is also available separately. The scenery sunroof brings light and air into a interior. The convenience pass can stay in the jacket pocket – the A1 unlocks wh en a driver pulls a door handles as well as starts at a pull of the start-stop symbol.

One more options include the warning system, the LED interior lighting package, a heated as well as folding side mirrors, the cruise control system, a ski bag, a front center arm rest, the storage as well as luggage compartment package, a heated front seats, the climate control system, the involuntary climate control system as well as the multifunction, leather-wrapped competition steering circle. Audi also offers the parking aid in two variants and a far-reaching array of infotainment modules from which to choose. It starts with the unison airwave and extends through a retrofit-capable navigation package to the high-performance MMI navigation plus complement as well as the Bose surround sound complement with innovative light guide record.

Dynamic look

A S line extraneous package gives the A1 an even more dynamic appearance thanks to such sum as chiseled sill tops and a large roof spoiler.

A A1 offers a immature, civic open the new lifestyle-oriented concept for colors as well as materials. If so desired, components such as a seat covers, the air nozzle housings as well as the inlays in the doors gleam in fresh, expressive c olors. In further to the particular options, quattro GmbH also offers numerous packages, such as the S line competition package, a Audi disdainful line or the black styling package. The Audi exclusive customization program offers the customer even more styling options – for both the interior and the exterior.
