The five-door version of the Audi A1 will hit UK showrooms from Spring 2012, starting from £13,980.
That is a £560 premium over each equivalent three-door A1. For that you get two extra doors, obviously, six millimetres more in height and six millimetres more in width. It can accommodate three passengers in the back, each of them protected by a headrest and full three-point seatbelt. IT still offers 270 litres with the backrests of the standard split/folding rear seat in place or 920 litres with the seat folded.
Features common to the SE, Sport and S line options available for UK A1 Sportback models include alloy wheels, remote central locking, air conditioning, electric front and rear windows and mirrors, split folding rear seat and a six-speaker single CD Concert audio system linked to a 6.5-inch retractable display.
Sport model additions include larger 16-inch wheels, sports suspension, sports seats, Bluetooth mobile phone preparation and a Driver’s Information System, while S line versions upgrade with extras such as an exclusive S line exterior treatment including larger 17-inch alloy wheels, S line sports suspension and leather and cloth combination upholstery.
As for the engines, it will launch in the UK with three TFSI petrol engines and one TDI diesel, including 1.2-litre TFSI (86PS), 1.4-litre TFSI (122PS), 1.4-litre twin-charge TFSI (185PS) and 1.6-litre TDI (105PS).
