Overview
Audi hides well the fact its new A1 is based on Volkswagen's Polo. Designed to show a personality more linked to the likes of BMW's MINI, the little Audi starts at a reasonable $30K and comes in Sport, Attraction or Ambition form. The Sport SI pumps out 136kW/250Nm through a seven-speed Sports Automatic Dual Clutch auto. Space is Polo-like and five-star ANCAP safety comes via six airbags, stability control, anti-lock brakes, traction control and electronic diff lock. 17-inch alloys on a sports suspension, cruise control, rear park assist, rain-sensing wipers, sports seats and steering wheel all come standard.
