Backed with elegance and luxury combined.
The car has become an article of dress without which we feel uncertain, unclad, and incomplete. It satisfies our yearning while we’re here on Earth. If I ‘m to choose, Audi A1 would surely be my pick. With the first Audi A1 price details for the British market surfacing today. The Audi A1 price is rumored to start from 13,145 GBP for the entry level model powered by the 1.2 TFSI engine and the 5-speed manual gearbox. The entry level SE trim is also offered with the Audi A1 1.6 TDI which is priced from 14,180 GBP. Furthermore, the Audi A1 will be offered in two other trim levels – Sport and S Line.
The Audi A1 price for the sport trim level starts at 14,945 GBP for the 1.2 TFSI, at 15,345 GBP for the 1.4 TFSI and at 15,980 GBP for the 1.6 TDI. If you want to get the DSG 7-speed gearbox you’ll have to add 1,420 GBP to the Audi A1 price.
The top of the range Audi A1 S Line price starts at 16,460 GBP for the 1.2 TFSI model and goes up to 17,495 GBP for the 1.6 diesel. The mid-range Audi A1 S Line 1.4 TFSI price starts at 16,860 GBP.
The Audi A1 will go on sale in Britain in October starting with the three-door model. However, the 5-door version and the cabriole will also follow.
The forthcoming A1 subcompact will serve as Audi’s competition for the MINI Cooper. Rumors continue to swirl about details, availability, and release date, but the new car will be a descendent of two well-received Audi auto-show concepts. A three-door metroproject quattro was built and shown in Tokyo in 2007, and the A1 Sportback concept debuted at the 2008 Paris Auto Show.
Both Audi’s concepts were hybrid-powered, but current plans call for the A1 lineup to include a 1.2- and 1.4-liter gas engine, with turbo available for the 1.4, as well as a 1.6- and 2.0-liter diesel. The new car should have five doors and is expected to be built at Volkswagen’s factory in Brussels, Belgium. A leaked Audi document suggests the A1 will be available for sale by March 2010.

The Audi A1 is a supermini-class car launched by Audi at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. Sales of the initial three door A1 model are anticipated to start in continental Europe in the summer of 2010, followed by the United Kingdom in September 2010. A five door A1 Sportback model is also expected to be launched later. The A1 is intended to compete with the Mini, and the Alfa Romeo Mito; it will be produced at the Audi factory in Vorst near Brussels, Belgium. The A1 is based on the Volkswagen Group PQ25 platform, the same platform used in the SEAT Ibiza Mk4 and the VW PoloMk5.
The engines range will initially comprise turbocharged 1.2 (86 PS (63 kW; 85 bhp)) and 1.4 litre (122 PS (90 kW; 120 bhp)) petrol engines, plus a 1.6 litre common rail diesel engine (105 PS (77 kW; 104 bhp)). Manual transmission will be standard on all engines, and a 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission will be optional on the 1.4 petrol engines. All engines will include a start-stop system and energy recuperation system.
The metroproject quattro is able to travel 62 miles (100 km) at up to 62 mph (100 km/h) on one charge of its lithium-ion batteries, which reduces fuel consumption by up to 15%. Both power sources are available to use simultaneously, with the driver then benefiting from McPherson strut front and four-link rear suspension configuration, electromechanical speed-sensitive power steering with a low energy draw, Audi magnetic ride adaptive damping technology, and 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 7.8 seconds.
