Official photos of the all-new Audi A1 have leaked online ahead of the official debut that's sure to come later in the week. We also have indirect confirmation of two powertrains and paint options.
The all-new A1 is Sportback-only. Just like in the case of the VW Polo and SEAT Ibiza, the 3-door body has been dropped due to slow sales. But we think the new model looks way sportier than the old "coupe" version.
Both the grey and the yellow model in the photos published by Autotijd are wearing the S line body kit, which is the most aggressive we've seen from Audi. At the front, it features a cool honeycomb pattern and extra-large side intakes. Also, the gaps just under the hood are reminiscent of one of the Quattro concept.
LED headlights and taillights are a given on a car like this. The back end also features a set of fake intakes, like the ones on the new Civic Type R. Only the "40 TFSI" yellow model has visible exhaust tips, which is a perfect segway for an engine discussion.
"40 TFSI" refers to a 2-liter turbo engine with 200 HP and 320 Nm of torque that will be matched to a 6-speed twin-clutch gearbox (manual might be available too). This version of the A1 will get to 100 km/h in under seven seconds.
The other car might be wearing Taifun Grey or some other new shade. However, we know for sure that "35 TFSI" badging belongs to a 1.5 TFSI with 150 HP and 250 Nm of torque, seen here with a manual gearbox.
It seems that the smaller an Audi gets, the more colorful its interior becomes. The A1 sports bright yellow accents everywhere. As expected, the "Virtual Cockpit" system comprises of the same 10-inch display you get in the Polo. The air vents flanking it have a retro sci-fi look, just like the door handle. Also, note the oddly shaped shifter.
Practicality should be similar to the Ibiza and Polo. With the rear seats folded, you get a flat loading area, which is probably facilitated by a false floor.
