Official Audi Release
The next big Audi – The Audi A1
The A1 is a true Audi – it is the couple the premium option and the sportiest automobile in the small compacts class. It comes with powerful, in a great degree efficient engines and every ready chassis, and delights with an emotional design and excellent paroxysm and execute. The A1 has a broad portfolio of advanced technologies on board; its infotainment system, in particular, sets new standards in the rank.
As the newcomer in the short segment, the A1 appeals primarily to young, lifestyle-oriented customers, offering them a high degree of freedom for individual design. Audi’s latest will hit the streets this summer through a base price of around 16,000 euros.
Design
It has a confident road stance – powerful, distinctive and full of character: The A1 is both the premium election and the athlete in its rank. The pronounced encompassing shoulder equinoctial circle, the color-contrasted roof arch and the unusually sharply declivous C-pillars give the three-door an unmistakable silhouette. The dimensions also document the dynamic lines: 3.95 meters (12.96 feet) longing, the latest model from Audi is an impressive 1.74 meters (5.71 feet) wide but only 1.42 meters (4.66 feet) tall. The wheelbase measures 2.47 meters (8.10 feet); the overhangs are correspondingly short.
The design of the A1 is tightly integrated into the brand’s design power and unique in the compact section – emotional, bold and progressive. Audi has a reputation for taking a lot of ideas and innovations from its concept cars into line extension, and the A1 continues this delivery. Many of the features and innovative ideas from the 2007 A1 project quattro showcar have already made it to series production in the A1.
The forehead end bears an unmistakable race resemblance, but features unique accents and innovations in the details. The single-frame grille, for example, is harmoniously integrated into the front end and with its angled top corners represents a new evolutionary stage. Its braces are arranged horizontally to emphasize the width of the front. The comprehensive, plastically modeled air intakes through their horizontal bars also contribute to the sporty appearance of the A1. The fog lights are located in their outer corners.
The three-dimensionally styled headlights also have their own peculiar look. The A1 looks determined and concentrated to the road. A strongly curved wing structures the domestic of the headlights. As with every Audi, the daytime running lights are standard. With the optional xenon plus units, the daytime running lights are implemented using LEDs and a light guide. They appear as a homogenous strip that traces the wing.
Powerful design element: the tornado equator
The greatest in quantity striking impression whenever viewed from the side is the straight, slightly upward course of the lines, which visually stretch and accelerate the A1. The upper brink; beginning of the hood extends unworthy of the side windows to the rear cessation. As with the Audi TT sports car, the verge where the encompassing hood meets the fenders is the point of origin for a typical Audi design element – the hurricane line. It continues in the door and the rear secure on the side. The line runs closely and precisely above the wheel wells, giving the A1 a sinewy road stance.
The heavy shaded edge beneath the whirlwind streak, the powerfully forniciform sheet metal surfaces on the flanks and the reviving dynamic line above the sills are also characteristic of the brand’s design language. The same is true of the expressively shaped wheel wells, which provide shelter to wheels measuring up to 18 inches, and for the ratio of sheet metal surfaces to the conservatory, which is two-thirds to one-third. The side mirrors are mounted on the doors analogous with a sports car; the door handles are distinctly bow-shaped.
Another Audi feature is the sportily flowing cover arch, which is optionally available in one of four contrasting ensign. The arch flows into a C-pillar that is flatter than attached a coupe, giving the rear end a dynamic outline that is further emphasized by the roof spoiler.
When viewed from the rear, an encompassing luggage compartment think out emphasizes the width – an exclusive feature new to the compact class. The hatch is distinctively shaped. The cuneiform single-piece lower part lights also underline wideness and are plastically integrated into the design. In combination with xenon plus, the tail lights application LED technology. Because they cannot be seen when the luggage compartment hatch is begin, the Audi A1 has additional LED lamps in its side flanks. This solution is another example of the loving attention to detail and enthusiasm for technology of the Audi engineers.
The petiole lights have a sporty red frame, with a curved bar dividing their chambers. Audi optionally equips them with light-emitting diodes and light guides – the tail light then appears in the same proportion that a continuous strip. A sporty black diffuser in the skirt forms the buttocks of the rear close and visually places the vehicle firmly on the road. Depending on the engine, the exhaust system ends in one or two tailpipes adhering the left side.
Audi offers the A1 in ten exterior banner. The solid finishes are Amalfi White, Cumulus Blue and Brilliant Black; the metallic colors are Ice Silver, Phantom Black, Teak Brown, Shiraz Red, Scuba Blue, Misano Red and Sphere Blue.
Body
An Audi truism also applies to the A1: The body establishes the foundation for the quality, for the precise, sporty handling and for safety. Two-thirds of the body comprises high- and ultra high-strength steels of different strength classes.
The strongest of these are the hot-shaped steels. The blanks are heated in a furnace to extreme temperatures then immediately shaped in a water-cooled pressing die. This rapid change in degree of heat imparts them with extreme tensile brilliance. Hot-shaped steels make up a good 11 percent of the body. They are used for the lower crossmember in the footwell, in the rear sections of the longitudinal members, in the B-pillars and in the roof frame – anywhere extreme strength combined with low weight is particularly important.
The high- and ultra high-strength steels are a significant factor for the high torsional rigidity of the body and its low pressure of only 221 kilograms (487.22 lb). These two values and the dimensions are used to compute the high lightweight quality of the superstructure while also providing the basis because of a high level of occupant protection.
The A1 comes standard through two brass airbags, side airbags in the backrests of the front seats and two curtain master airbags. Belt tensioners and belt force limiters plus the Audi fluent headrest system round out the package of retention systems. Isofix child seat anchor points in the instruct are standard. Belt buckle sensors at all seats are another increased close custody feature. And when it comes to pedestrian protection, the A1 is also equipped by cutting edge technology.
Low-speed collisions – light bumps in parking lots and the so-called indicative claim crash for a like reason important for the insurance rating – do not result in any major damage. The layout of the bumpers, the crossmember behind them and the longitudinal members protect cost-intensive components such as the radiator and air conditioners.
Aerodynamically optimized: from the front skirt to the rear spoiler
With 0.32 coefficient of drag for the unhonored model, the newest Audi is among the most aerodynamic cars in its class. This is the result of extensive fine-tuning at the Ingolstadt Wind Tunnel Center. The entire body has been optimized – from the rear spoiler, including the spoiler edges, to the underbody and the wheels. The aerodynamic underbody largely covers the underbody, protecting it and creating favorable aerodynamic air flow.
The corners and other rim regions of the skirts feature a sophisticated design that not only sinks the coefficient of drag, boundary also improves driving stability at high speeds. The area around the grille is completely sealed so that the inflowing air reaches the radiator with practically no losses instead of becoming boisterous. Even such subtleties as the flow of air through the engine compartment have been optimized to the finest delineate with respect to thermo- and aerodynamics.
Another of the body’s strengths is its acoustics. The Audi development engineers devoted considerable attention to the express audibly radiation of the large sheet metal panels and their rigidities. All regions at which forces are induced for the period of driving were specially reinforced. A lightweight insulation package brings the acoustics in the passenger cabin up to the premium level.
The A1 will be built at the Audi plant in Brussels. Audi invested more than 100 million euros in the modernization of the production politeness in order to completely satisfy the most stringent of quality standards.
Interior
Sportiness, precision and youthful freshness – these themes characterize the interior of the A1. The designers looked to airplane wings for inspiration for the elegantly curving instrument panel. The four finish off, far-protruding air nozzles are reminiscent of the turbines of a jet.
The center console, with its integrated strip of secondary switches, resembles the stern of a yacht and appears to float above the center tunnel. The control unit for the climate control system and the three cylindrical rotary dials of the optional self-moving climate control body are another optical and haptic highlight on board the A1. The instrument panel is also home to the head unit for the radio or the optional MMI control and infotainment system. The display, which is standard through the concert radio or higher, is retracted into the instrument panel and extends upward at the push of a button. This installation position, ideal model of perfection for agile perusal, is a unique selling point in this vehicle class.
The instrument cluster in chronographic design through the large in circumference dials – black faces, red needles, and white scales and numbers – is laid out clearly and elegantly. As always with Audi, operation via the steering column stalks is logical and ergonomically perfect. At night the instruments are lit in white, the buttons red.
With the LED interior lighting package, the A1 brings 100 percent LED technology to an interior in the premium compact rank for the first time. Not only is the ambient lighting in the doors and enclose in a house module realized with LED technology, so, too, are the interior lights, reading lights, footwell lights and makeup lights.
Another design highlight was created with the help of LED illume conduct technology. If desired, a white corona shines indirectly from the contours of the Bose woofer bezel to visually underscore the high-tech character of the sound system.
The optional driver information system integrates a display between the instruments. As in the broad Audi models, the combination of parts to form a whole can be controlled using buttons, rocker switches and roller switches in the optional multifunction steering wheel.
The theory bundles information from the audio sources and the optional navigation system. A modern tabs concept in the display and a freely-programmable favorites button make operation not formal and intuitive. The driver complaint system is monochrome and comes standard by MMI navigation plus.
Helpful: the on-board computer with efficiency program
The on-board computer through efficiency program is linked to the driver information connected view. It displays premises relevant to fuel gradual wasting and gives recommendations for efficient driving. An enlarged view of the gear-change indicator signals to the driver when he or she should change gears. Another function provides information on which on-board consumers, such as the climate control combination of parts to form a whole or the rear window defogger, are active and how much fuel they are consuming.
The seats in the A1 offer magnificent hold, guidance and support and seat persons of whole sizes extremely comfortably. A height-adjustable driver’s seat is standard. The Ambition trim line includes amusement seats with lumbar support, and the passenger seat also comes height-adjustable as standard. The easy-entry function for grateful access to the back is also standard with the Ambition budget.
Plenty of storage is available at every seat – two cup holders on the console of the center tunnel, pockets in the doors and the rear side trim as well like a power exit. On the false model, in that place is a fold-up compartment upon the instrument panel in place of the on-board monitor. Audi also offers an elective storage package with additional stowage options.
The premium character of the Audi A1 is expressed in every last detail of the domestic – in the selection of the materials, in their sudden and finish and in the tight, even gaps. The surface of the instrument panel is softly backed with foam; all buttons and controls move precisely; even the pull handle that unlatches the hood release does to such a degree crisply and precisely.
Standard with the Ambition trim line and optional with Attraction are numerous aluminum-look control elements, including the entry strips, the dials for the automatic climate control order and the light dials. Furthermore, the ring of the three-spoke jollity steering twirl, the parking brake handle and the gear shift lever are wrapped in leather and adorned with subtle aluminum clips.
Youthful and new: colors and materials
The materials in the interior vary between the two lines. Attraction features black or titanium gray clergymen upholstery with the center relieve from distress, armrest, map pocket and speaker grills also being titanium gray. The sport seats in the Ambition line have a two-color design featuring titanium gray or wasabi green as a contrasting color to black. The interior is also available in black. The media style package offers delicate beige as an alternative. The optional leather seats use through the Ambition line and the media style package are offered in a choice of three colors and three combinations.
Everything about flag 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 standard depending on the trim line. They are also optionally advantageous in high-gloss white, titanium gray, wasabi green, charm red or delicate beige to match the color of the trim. Audi also offers a range of attractive colors towards the door armrests and the corbel on the center tunnel for all trim lines.
The luggage compartment of the Audi A1 has plane walls; the loading edge is plain for easy loading and unloading. It has a base volume of 267 liters (9.43 cubic feet). A doubling cargo floor is standard.
The split raw seat can be folded down quickly and easily to increase luggage dimensions to roughly 920 liters (32.49 cubic feet) grant that loaded to the roof. Two microscopic latches secure the cargo floor when it is folded up. Audi also offers an optional luggage compartment package with adapted to practice storage boxes under the cargo floor, a multi-fixing point with double hooks, a sweep net, a power outlet, a second light and a strap retainer.
Audi does not compromise quality in the luggage division, either. The latch unlocks electronically, including by way of the remote key fob. It swings up and falls securely into the latch. Its clasp has a separate spring-loaded cover that keeps it from acquisition dirty – not the same typical Audi detail.
Infotainment systems
The A1 is a premium automobile for modern people – it offers a register of state-of-the-art infotainment and multimedia systems directly from the luxury class.
The infotainment combination of parts to form a whole comprises modular components based around the standard chorus radio, which has an mp3-capable CD drift and GALA speed-dependent volume control. The chorus radio delivers its sound to four loudspeakers.
The next step up features the repaired concert radio, a versatile device that is likewise equipped with a CD drive. The separate, retractable on-board monitor – a high-resolution, 6.5 twelfth part of a foot stain display – is standard with this radio. It also features a dual tuner, an SDHC remembrance card reader, one AUX-in connection and six loudspeakers front and rear.
The concert radio also unlocks the choice of the optional connectivity package, that includes a navigation system preparation. This allows the customer to add any Audi map-based navigation unit to the radio at a later time. The required hardware is already installed in the radio. The customer can tackle the system activation and an SDHC card with the navigation data through Audi Genuine Accessories at any time. Activation is performed by the Audi dealer. The connectivity package also includes a Bluetooth interface, an SDHC card reader and the Audi music interface.
The predominate of the line is MMI navigation plus, a high-end media center that is a benchmark in the compact vehicle class. It comprises four primary components – the main unit with a 60 gigabyte hard drive, the radio unit, the MMI control bound and the flush display. The retractable 6.5 inch display features elegant images. It displays its graphics as well considered in the state of the cover art for the audio titles. The navigation map is also displayed in 3D.
MMI navigation plus can store 20 gigabytes of music files. It offers a Bluetooth interface and the Audi music interface (AMI) to connect modern changeable media players very easily and conveniently. It includes a rush for audio and video DVDs and intelligent voice control – the driver can speak the complete navigation address at once. The driver information system is also integrated into the budget.
Classic Audi science of the laws of thought: the MMI control terminal
With its intuitive logic, the MMI control terminating is structured similarly to the units from the large Audi models. A large rotary pushbutton is at the center of the one. It can be rocked in four directions like a joystick, which makes many functions even more convenient. A variety of exacting and soft keys, a volume control, and slots for the storage media are arranged around and above the central controller.
Audi offers a range of adscititious modules for the MMI navigation plus and the concert radio – a Bluetooth interface for convenient telephony and transferring music and video, a CD changer, a digital radio (DAB) tuner and two premium established systems: the 180 watt Audi sound regularity with ten speakers and the Bose surround sound order. The latter includes a ten-channel, 465 watt amplifier and 14 speakers, including a subwoofer. The combination of MMI navigation plus and the Bose surround sound system enables the reproduction of 5.1 invest undecayed. A special optical highlight: The woofers in the doors are indirectly lit with light guide LEDs.
Drivetrain (performance data are provisional figures)
Audi decision initially offer the 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 the engines employ direct fuel injection and turbocharging. This downsizing concept coupled with technologies from the Audi modular efficiency platform give them tremendous power with minimal fuel consumption ranging from 3.8 to
5.4 liters per 100 km (43.56 – 61.90 US mpg).
The entry-level gasoline engine is the new 1.2 TFSI. It generates 63 kW (86 hp) and produces its peak torque of 160 Nm (118.01 lb-ft) prior to that time between 1,500 and 3,500 rpm. Coupled through a five-speed manual transmission, the four-cylinder accelerates the A1 from 0 to 100 km/h (0 – 62.14 mph) in 12.1 seconds on its way to a top speed of 179 km/h (111.23 mph). In the EU driving cycle, it consumes excepting that 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 displacement
The newly developed four-cylinder exemplifies the Audi philosophy of downsizing, the substitution of turbocharging for volume. The engine with two-valves per cylinder displaces only 1,197 cc and has been rigorously optimized for low weight and low rubbing. Its look aluminum crankcase has its own cooling loop separate from the cylinder head. The water in the block is not circulated immediately after the implement is started, enabling the engine to come up to degree of heat more quickly and shortening the aspect of increase frictional resistance debt to cold oil.
The 1.4 TFSI ups the ante with 90 kW (122 hp). Its peak torque of 200 Nm (147.51 lb-ft) is continuously available between 1,500 and 4,000 rpm. A turbocharger with a water-cooled intercooler pressurizes the 1,390 cc engine with four valves per cylinder.
Together with the seven-speed S tronic, the 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 the sprint to 9.2 seconds, but does not affect top speed. Average fuel tabes is deserved 5.1 and 5.4 liters/
100 km (43.56 and 46.12 US mpg), particularly, in the EU test circle of time.
The sovereignty output of the new 1.6 TDI comes from a displacement of 1,598 cc. Internal friction in the compact four-cylinder has been systematically minimized. Audi offers two versions of this engine. The more powerful 1.6 TDI one produces 77 kW (105 hp) and 250 Nm (184.39 lb-ft) between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm, and is coupled with a five-speed manual transmission. The 16-valve weapon accelerates the A1 powerfully through the standard sprint in 10.8 seconds before reaching a top speed of 187 km/h (116.20 mph) while consuming an average of just
3.9 liters/100 km (60.31 US mpg).
The second version of the 1.6 TDI generates 66 kW (90 hp) and 230 Nm (169.64 lb-ft) of torque betwixt 1,500 and 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 a top speed of 179 km/h
(111.23 mph) and offers exemplary 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 use a technology from the Audi modular efficiency platform – the recuperation combination of parts to form a whole uses any intelligent voltage controller for the generator to recover energy during the braking and coasting phases and replenish it temporarily in the battery. The nearest time the car accelerates, this energy flows back into the on-board electrical system, relieving the load on the generator.
The four engines also come standard with a farther on technology from the Audi modular efficiency platform – the start-stop system. This turns the engine off when the car is at rest, if the gear selector lever is in neutral and the driver’session foot has left the clutch pedal. Start-stop then turns the engine back on as soon in the same proportion that the lay hold of pedal is depressed – all the while functioning quietly, conveniently, and quickly.
The start-stop system also harmonizes perfectly with the seven-speed S tronic, the high-tech transmission with which the A1 underscores its exceptionally sporty predication. The Audi dual-clutch transmission combines the convenience of a torque converter transmission with the dynamics and efficiency of a hand-book transmission. It changes gears within a few hundredths of a second without a single one perceptible interruption of pulling competency, smoothly and excessively comfortably.
Weighing only around 70 kilograms (154.32 lb), the seven-speed S tronic also helps to save weight. Its two clutches run dry – the elimination of the oil supply further increases the already high efficiency of the transmission. Power is supplied to the electrohydraulic actuator as needed.
The driver can operate the seven-speed S tronic via a selector lever or optional paddles adhering the steering put into a rotatory motion, as in a sports car. There are also two full automatic operating modes available. In D way, the transmission management system operates the engine as often taken in the character of possible at low speeds to save fuel; in
S mode, the driving style is sporty and the engine speeds higher. A hill start assist that holds the A1 when starting on a hill is standard.
Chassis
The front-wheel-drive Audi A1 is the sportiest car in the compact class. It is nimble and agile in the city; undeviating and precise on interurban roads, and comfortable on the highway. It owes these qualities primarily to the highly advanced chassis with the wide track and balanced weight distribution.
The engineers attached a great have commerce of application to the distribution of axle loads for the period of the development of the A1. Measuring only 81 centimeters (31.89 inches), the front overhang is unusually short. Depending on the engine, only between 61 and 63 percent of the make heavy rests on the front axle, a low value for a compact car. A number of details contribute to this, such as the position of the battery, which with most tool options is underneath the luggage compartment. With a spurious weight of only 1,045 kilograms (2,303.83 lb), the A1 is the lightest vehicle in the premium compact rank.
The front suspension comprises a MacPherson construction with lower triangular wishbones. The steering impulse from the electrohydraulic rack-and-pinion power steering, which is more efficient than a straight hydraulic system, is transferred by way of friable paths to the pivot bearing for spontaneous steering response and precise, easily affected feedback through the steering move on wheels.
Direct: the power steering
At a ratio of 14.8:1, the steering is sportily direct, requiring only slight steering angles at the wheel. The high turn-in of the meet face to face wheels keeps the turning circle to 10.6 meters (34.78 feet) – both factors bestow the A1 the ultimate in agility in city traffic as well as on open roads.
Audi painstakingly tuned the impudence axle bearings, the stabilizer bar and the springs and dampers for sporty and balanced handling. A torsion-beam rear axle with separate springs and dampers features new guide bearings that were developed from the ground up. The Ambition trim cover with lines comes standard with a sport suspension featuring taut springs and dampers.
The A1 comes equipped with a new Audi technology regardless of the engine selected – the ESP stabilization system in addition includes an electronic differential join. Similar to a mechanical locking differential, it makes the already agile handling even more neutral by largely eliminating understeer and improving traction. If the electronics discover that the load on the front inside wheel is reduced too much, it initiates brief, controlled braking of that wheel. The excess torque then flows to the outside wheel, which can put more power to the road. Road behavior is even more precise, agile, stable and neutral, further enhancing belonging to safety and subjective assurance in the car.
With its gayety modus, the ESP A1 is custom-tailored for agile driving. The stabilization system controls large, powerful wheel brakes. The front discs are internally ventilated and measure between 256 and 288 millimeters (10.08 and 11.34 inches) in diameter, depending in succession the engine. The lift up wheels are equipped with powerful disc brakes. The Attraction trim line features 15-inch wheels; Ambition comes with 16-inch alloy wheels.
Audi offers discretional 17-inch cast aluminum wheels, with some designs featuring modern bicolor designs, and wide-format 215/40 tires. quattro GmbH offers
18-inch assign aluminum wheels and wide-format 225/35 tires.
High performance: the wheel brakes
The sporty performance, top-class safety and comfort required in the premium compact class place high demands on the brakes. The brake system of the
Audi A1 was selected specifically for the performance of the different variants.
Even the models by the entry level engines should therefore have plenty of braking power in reserve. Every vehicle comes equipped with ventilated disc brakes up front and massive brake discs in the rear.
Sport steering wheel
In keeping with the conveyance’s sporty character, the A1 comes standard with a grippy three-spoke sport steering wheel that can be optionally wrapped in fine Nappa leather and trimmed with high-quality chrome-design elements.
A particular highlight is the new operating concept of the optional multifunction switch, which enables the convenient procedure of the on-board computer, telephone, audio source and navigation system directly from the steering wheel.
Shift paddles that enable fixed manual array changes are optionally available in combination through an S tronic transmittance.
Equipment and trim
Audi offers the A1 in two trim levels. Attraction is the richly appointed charismatic version; Ambition the sporty and dynamic variant. Both lines can be combined with the media style package, which offers attractive infotainment and interior design options. Features such as the navigation package can also be purchased later, keeping the A1 fresh and inviting for years to come. The latest member of the Audi family also follows a fresh, young equator by respect to materials and colors in the interior.
The Attraction line comes equipped with a number of comfortable features – the chorus radio, a radio remote-controlled central locking classification, power-adjustable side mirrors, power windows and a height-adjustable driver’s seat. Standard passive safety features include two front airbags, side airbags and head airbags. Belt force limiters, the integral Audi headrest system and Isofix anchor points because of child safety seats in the rear round out the program.
The Ambition trim line can be identified at a glance – giving it away are the
16-inch alloyage wheels and the fog lights. The interior of the A1 Ambition features aluminum-look touches, a leather-wrapped sport steering wheel and the driver information system. Its sport seats feature an easy-entry exercise and lumbar supports, and the passenger establish is also height-adjustable.
Optionally available for the Ambition trim line is the S line sport bundle, which includes, except is not limited to, the following: 17- or 18-inch fling aluminum wheels, S line sport suspension with dynamic suspension tuning, leather-wrapped sport steering wheel and sport seats.
Much of the optional equipment that Audi has designated for the A1 comes directly from the luxury class. These take in exterior options such as the xenon plus headlights with LED daytime running lights, the LED tail lungs and the optional 17-inch wheels with 215/40 tires. quattro GmbH offers 18-inch cast aluminum wheels.
Audi has also devoted a great deal of attention to the aspect of light and sight. The high-beam assistant uses a camera to detect other vehicles and towns and automatically switch between the low and high beams. It is combined by a light and rain sensor, which is also available separately. The bird’s eye view sunroof brings light and deportment into the interior. The convenience key can stay in the jacket pocket – the A1 unlocks when the driver pulls the door handles and starts at the exigence of the start-stop button.
Additional options include the alarm system, the LED interior lighting package, the heated and folding side mirrors, the sail about control system, the ski bag, the front center inlet stay, the storage and luggage compartment package, the heated front seats, the climate control rule, the automatic climate control system and a multifunction, leather-wrapped sport steering move forward. Audi also offers a parking co-operate with in brace variants and a spacious array of infotainment modules from which to choose. It starts with the concert radio and extends through the retrofit-capable navigation package to the high-performance MMI navigation more system and the Bose encompass sound system with innovative light guide technology.
Dynamic look
The S line exterior package gives the A1 an smooth more dynamic figure thanks to such details as chiseled sill tops and a large roof spoiler.
The A1 offers the young, urban public a new lifestyle-oriented concept for colors and materials. If so desired, components such as the seat covers, the gas nozzle housings and the inlays in the doors shine in fresh, expressive colors. In addition to the individual options, quattro GmbH also offers numerous packages, such as the S line sport pack, the Audi exclusive line or the black styling pack. The Audi narrow-minded customization program offers the customer even more styling options – for both the interior and the exterior.
