The 35 TFSI is the middle-grade of the three variant second-generation A1 range, wearing an MSRP of $35,290.

It is powered by a new 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine (110kW/250Nm) which features cylinder-on-demand technology, able to deactivate two of its cylinders when cruising.

The petrol particulate filter (PPF) available with this engine in Europe has been stripped out of Australian-delivered cars due to our lax fuel quality standards.

The new A1 has a 335-litre boot (VDA) that is 65 litres more than the previous A1.

The 35 TFSI has a claimed/combined fuel usage figure of 5.8L/100km and consumes 95 RON premium petrol.

Standard spec on the 35 TFSI includes, a 10.25-inch digital dashboard, an 8.8-inch multimedia touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and digital radio, 17-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry and push-start, interior ambient lighting, auto-dimming rear vision mirror, an armrest centre console, and a wireless phone charging bay.

Safety features include auto emergency braking (AEB) lane keep assist (LKAS) with lane departure warning (LDW), six airbags and the expected stability and brake controls. The A1 range will launch with a maximum five-star ANCAP safety rating.

Despite studying ancient history and law at university, it makes sense Tom ended up writing about cars, as he spent the majority of his waking hours finding ways to drive as many as possible. His fascination with automobiles was also accompanied by an affinity for technology growing up, and he is just as comfortable tinkering with gadgets as he is behind the wheel. His time at CarsGuide has given him a nose for industry news and developments at the forefront of car technology.
