Audi A1 Sportback (GB) Hatchback (2018)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Audi A1 Sportback GB is an entry-level subcompact hatchback in production from 2018. It is available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.0 to 2.0 liters.
Compared to its predecessor, the Mk2 A1 Sportback has a more mature design. Interestingly, VW did away with diesel engines for this vehicle. To compensate for the new, exceedingly lethargic drivetrain, Audi threw in a wide range of electronic nonsense.
At the same time, VW made no effort to improve the car's suspension setup.

Reviewer score 50%The Audi A1 Sportback amounts to an unusual upmarket supermini. Larger dimensions and that larger interior help to make it more class-competitive for practicality. The car’s styling will endear it to some. But, even in this second-generation form, I’m not sure it stands up as a totally convincing product in its own right.

Pros
- Sleek, refined styling
- Comfortable to drive
- Decent handling
Cons
- Not quite as agile as a Mini Cooper
- Larger interior
autoexpress[2]
Reviewer score 54%The Audi A1 is available as a five-door hatchback and the higher-riding Citycarver model with its SUV-lite styling. The A1 handles very competently and rides well, but it doesn't have the sporty responses of its key rival the MINI. The interior design looks very upmarket-Audi too, but closer inspection reveals very similar materials used to the much cheaper VW Polo.

Pros
- Cheap to drive
- Decent fuel economy
Cons
- Not as practical as rivals
- Not as comfortable as rivals
autoexpress[3]
Reviewer score 72%The new Audi A1 raises the bar once again for comfort and refinement. The cabin is crammed with tech and sets the benchmark for connectivity and functionality. But cheaper rivals have caught up when it comes to interior quality and ambience. A Volkswagen Polo gives you almost as much of everything, for a lot less cash.
