Aussie Audi A1 Pricing Announced

The Australian division of Audi announced today pricing and the initial model line-up for the Audi A1. The model will come priced from AU$29,900 for the 1.4 TFSI Attraction 6-speed manual version, with customer deliveries scheduled to begin early next year.

The initial Audi A1 range for Australia will comprise two models: the A1 1.4 TFSI Attraction 6-speed manual and the A1 1.4 TFSI Ambition 6-speed manual. Both are available with the option of a 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission (steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters are also available).

The 1.4 TFSI is capable of delivering 120 horsepower and 200 Nm. This accelerates the A1 from 0-100km/h (62 mph) in 8.9 seconds, yet sips just 5.3 l/100km (44 mpg) on the combined cycle.

Safety wise, the Aussie Audi A1 is fitted with six airbags and ESP stability program with electronic limited slip differential as standard.

“The success of the A1 will drive our ongoing growth in Australia and will bring premium Audi motoring to a whole new audience,” said Audi Australia managing director, Uwe Hagen. “This car brings all of the Audi principles of design, quality and engaging performance to a new segment of customers who don’t wish to compromise on a premium driving experience.”

The A1 made its Australian debut at this week’s International Motor Show in Sydney, with two examples starring on the Audi stand. Both are in A1 1.4 TFSI Ambition specification, one with the 6-speed manual transmission (in Misano Red with Ice Silver contrasting red roof arch) and the other with the 7-speed S tronic (In Almafi White and boasting Audi’s Competition package).
