So, which Audi A1 is best? This is a question we get asked regularly! Sit back, relax and let us guide you through everything you need to know about the Audi A1.
The Audi A1 launched in 2010 following a successful reveal at the Worthersee Tour in Austria. Initially available as a 3 door only, the Audi A1 was an instant success and firmly cemented its place within the Audi lineup.
A 5 door ‘Sportback’ model arrived 2 years later and joined the already impressive engine selection on offer. Take your pick from petrol or diesel, there was even a Clubsport Quattro to choose from. In late 2010 Audi ran a development programme to test battery technology, the car in question was an Audi A1 e-tron.
Why was it so successful? The Audi A1 simply combines all the elements of the A3 hatchback and presents them in a more compact form. From the premium badge to high quality materials and beautiful build quality, the Audi A1 was an instant overnight success.
And, as a used buy, the Audi A1 represents great value. Because the Audi A1 shares the same platform as the Volkswagen Polo, Skoda Fabia and SEAT Ibiza running costs are low too.
“Great choice, great quality! The Audi A1 is a compact city car with a premium badge and driving experience you’ll love” Ben Mills
