Audi A1 Sportback (GB)

Subcompact Hatchback

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% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

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

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

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
