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 driver assistance systems for the Audi A1 Sportback come from the full-size class: They keep the compact car at the right distance from the car ahead, making it easier for the driver to maintain the lane and help with parking.

The standard lane departure warning helps the driver to keep the car in the lane from a speed of 65 km/h.

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.

Audi virtual cockpit.

The optional Audi virtual cockpit with an extended range of functions presents comprehensive and diverse information such as animated navigation maps and graphics of some driver assistance systems in the driver’s direct field of vision.

Bang & Olufsen Sound System

The optional Bang & Olufsen Sound System drives eleven speakers with an output of 560 watts. Its 3D effect uses the windshield as a reflecting surface, so the music unfolds exactly how it was recorded in studio.

Make it your own.

The new A1 Sportback is available in a choice of ten colors that impressively showcase the design language. The roof of the compact model can be optionally finished in a contrasting color from the A-pillar to the roof edge spoiler.
