    Audi A1 Australia

    Audi A1 Australia

    FROM
    $39,200

    Audi's baby A1 hatchback is designed for one thing and one thing only; getting warm bodies into a car adorned with the four rings. As a city runabout it has its charms, and it's a nice enough little car to drive.

    The truth of the Volkswagen Polo-based A1 is that, with prices starting at $39,200 for the A1 35 Tfsi and topping of at $50,800 for the A1 40 Tfsi S Line, it's expensive for its size, and the cheaper it is, the less you get.

    The A1 is offered locally with a variety of engines, including a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo, a 1.4-litre petrol and a 1.8-litre petrol. The all-wheel drive S1 hot hatch was dropped for the A1's second generation, as the VW Group MQB A0 platform on which it sits cannot support AWD in the A1's configuration.

    Audi A1 FAQs

    What is the cheapest Audi?

    The cheapest new Audi is the A1 Sportback 7 Speed Auto, which is listed at $28,900. For more info on the latest models, check out our pricing and specs page, and you'll find all Audi reviews and news here. 

    Audi A1 or VW Golf?

    Audi was caught up in the same DSG automatic transmission problems that afflicted VW, but you would hope that those problems have been sorted out on the later models such as the 2015 car you're looking to buy. Apart from that doubt the A1 is generally a sound car. As for servicing costs the A1 is about the same as the VW.

    Is the Mini Cooper the best small sporty car?

    If she has fallen for the looks of the Mini it's probably game over. But you should still test drive the Fiat 500 for style and the Audi A1 as a driving alternative.
