2019 Audi A1 Sportback Review
- 6 years ago
The 2019 Audi A1 is the second generation of Audi’s tiniest hatchback, now with more interior space, more tech and—most importantly—a meaner look. It honestly looks like a lot of fun, which makes me sad that we’re not likely to get one here in the states.
For years, the Audi A1 has been one of the many Europe-only cars that I’ve been lusting after. It just looks like a lot of fun, with its tiny dimensions and bright colors. The good news for the second-gen model is that, even though the car is a bit bigger, its quirky look hasn’t changed. Check out this yellow A1 with a black roof:
At 13.2-feet long, 5.7-feet wide and 4.6-feet tall, the A1 is just a bit longer than before, but not by much. Audi says in its press release that the new body, sprung by MacPherson struts up front and a torsion bea in the rear, is comprised of 27 percent composite material, and the car’s 22.3 squared foot frontal area—combined with its 0.31 drag coefficient—means it should cut through the air quite nicely, and score decent fuel economy.
Those gas mileage numbers aren’t out yet, but with tiny turbocharged direct-injected engines and advanced transmissions (a manual on all models, plus either a seven speed S Tronic dual-clutch or a six-speed S Tronic), there’s no doubt the new A1 will be easy on fuel. The base engine is a 1.0-liter inline-three making 95 horsepower, the top-spec motor is a 2.0-liter cranking out 200 horsepower, and a 1.5-liter engine sits somewhere in between.
