Product Overview

Audi A1 (Typ 8X) facelift is an affordable subcompact hatchback in production from 2014 to 2018. It was available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.0 to 1.8 liters.
Compared to the pre-facelift model, the facelift Mk1 A1 became over-styled. Its newfound aggressiveness doesn't match the "cute" overall shape of a subcompact hatchback. Still, it is better-looking than the 5-door A1 Sportback.
Unfortunately, VAG further downsized the engines, keeping them high-stressed and unreliable.
The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.
