Drive system
Six engines are available for selection – four TFSI and two TDI. The 1.0 TFSI, the first ever three-cylinder gasoline engine in the history of the Audi brand, has a combined fuel consumption of just 4.2 liters per 100 kilometers (56.0 US mpg), which equates to 97 grams CO2 per km (156.1 g/mi). The three-cylinder diesel, the 1.4 TDI ultra with 66 kW (90 hp), attains an NEDC fuel consumption figure of 3.6 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (65.3 US mpg) and emits 94 grams CO2 per kilometer (151.3 g/mi). And the 1.4 TFSI COD highlights the cylinder on demand system (COD), which enables temporary cylinder shut-off when the engine is operating at partial load.

(Figures vary depending on engine/transmission/wheels/tires)
The seven-speed S tronic transmission is available as an option for all of the Audi A1 engines; with the 1.8 TFSI it comes as standard. The driver can let the lightning-quick dual-clutch transmission shift automatically or control it manually. Power is transmitted via the front wheels.
Chassis
The chassis too contributes to the sportiness. Its electromechanical steering is extremely efficient; the amount of power assist decreases as the vehicle speed increases. With the sport trim line the tuning is tauter, while the S line sport chassis offers even greater dynamics.
The Audi drive select dynamic handling system (standard in the sport trim line) lets the driver vary the engine characteristic, the S tronic and adjustable shock absorbers – another option – in the auto, efficiency and dynamic modes. At the limits of performance, wheel-selective torque control makes handling even more precise and stable.
Equipment
The equipment range includes the design and sport trim lines. Other options include the design selection and the S line sport package as well as many other customization options – from colored air vents to decorative decals for the body. Audi Genuine Accessories offers even more options, including the new active kit.
The high-end solution in infotainment is MMI navigation plus with intelligent voice control and a monitor that folds out from the instrument panel. The Audi connect module including car phone connects the A1 to the internet. Components such as the Bose Surround Sound System round out the infotainment lineup.
Audi A1 Sportback
The Audi A1 Sportback offers a bit more headroom in the rear as well as more comfortable entry. The second row includes a third seat at no extra cost. The five-door model has its own style also in the color concept: Its contrasting paint finish covers the entire roof dome.
The possibilities for custom configuration are extremely varied with numerous trim lines, equipment packages and kits as well as individual options and accessories.
Four TFSI and two TDI engines, including two three-cylinder models, make up the engine lineup of the Audi A1 Sportback. The performance range extends from 66 kW (90 hp) to 141 kW (192 hp). In the 1.4 TFSI COD, the cylinder on demand (COD) system deactivates two cylinders when the driver lightly presses the pedal. The 1.4 TDI has a combined NEDC fuel consumption of just 3.7 liters per 100 kilometers (63.6 US mpg) which equates to 97 grams CO2 per kilometer (156.1 g/mi).
