Smallest Audi available to order this month

The smallest Audi comes to market in 2010 with impressive specification and models suited to any driver’s requirements.

The Audi A1 became available to order earlier this month, with a UK specification that further emphasises the fact that Audi continue to thrive on producing innovative models.

An initial launch phase combines a generous specification with three ultra-efficient TDI and TFSI engines, all compensating very effectively for their relatively small displacements with the latest turbo charger technology, and benefitting from engine start-stop and recuperation systems.

The new 1.2 TFSI petrol engine linked exclusively to a five-speed manual transmission kicks off the range. Its 86PS and 160Nm peak power and torque outputs enable a 0-62mph time of 11.7 seconds and a top speed of 112mph, delivered with 55.4mpg capability and low CO2 of 118g/km.

The 1.4 TFSI version delivers its 122PS and 200Nm via the standard six-speed manual gearbox or the optional seven-speed S tronic twin-clutch transmission. Equipped with S tronic, it hits 62mph in 8.9 seconds, reaching 126mph. The 1.4 TFSI comes impressively close to matching its smaller counterpart on economy and emissions, delivering up to 54.3mpg with CO2 output of 119g/km.

The 105PS 1.6-litre diesel is the third engine option, and via a five-speed manual gearbox uses its impressive 250Nm torque output to power the A1 to 62mph in 10.5 seconds and on to a 118mph top speed, while retaining the potential to achieve 70.6mpg economy with emissions of 105g/km.

The Audi maintain their exceptional feature list with the engine start-stop function, energy recuperation, alloy wheels, air conditioning, single CD audio system with MP3 compatibility, and ESP with the latest differential lock system all included as standard.

The A1 will also offer a choice of equipment packages, as well as numerous customisation options for both exterior and interior using an array of colours, materials and equipment options designed to make each car feel unique.
In summary, Vorsprung durch Technik combines the trappings that befit a premium sector hatchback with the technological sophistication and quality of finish that mark out every Audi. The first deliveries are expected to be in later this year.
