Highlights

Design Customise Assistance Cockpit Sound

Eye-catching & masculine.

The wide track and short overhangs provide for a taut, sporty look. The distinctive daytime running light graphics of the optional full-LED lights echo the dynamic wing shapes from sailing, known as hydrofoils. The design of the shutters for the main light functions also draws inspiration from sailing. The wing segments on the flanks create an impression of maximum width. A low-set, concentrated look in conjunction with the small rhombus segments in the top section of the headlights provides a sporty appearance.

Freely combinable: the equipment lines.

Design the exterior of your Audi A1 to your liking. Whether exterior color, rim or headlight technology: The numerous equipment options make the Audi A1 your personal dream car.

Depending on the equipment line – basic, advanced or S line – the attachments on the exterior are available in various configurations. The black styling package sets additional accents.

A new feature in the A1 Sportback is the modular lines structure. This provides for a particularly high degree of flexibility. For the first time, customers can combine exterior and interior lines however they like.

Safety first.

The optional adaptive speed assist keeps the Audi A1 Sportback at the desired distance from the vehicle ahead, while Audi pre sense front recognises critical situations involving other vehicles, crossing pedestrians or cyclists ahead of the vehicle.

Bang & Olufsen Sound System

Make it your own.

The roof of the compact model can be optionally finished in a contrasting color from the A-pillar to the roof edge spoiler.
