Some motorists believe that the price of the novelty is too high, because its cost is comparable to full-size cars of other companies. However, experts believe that they are wrong. What is the point of driving alone daily in a big sedan to the office, paying a lot of money for gas and suffering with finding a parking space? Especially when there are such stylish and comfortable subcompacts as the Audi A1.
External data Audi A1In the minds of many motorists, a small and elegant small car - these are typically female cars. But you can’t say the same about the new Audi A1 model, it all depends on the color - choosing a brown or black metallic, the man becomes the owner of a small but quite serious car - the “face” of this car is quite aggressive. Ladies, of course, will like bright red, cherry or blue body shades, since their choice when ordering a new car is very large.
The appearance of the Audi A1 destroys the stereotypes about the prestige of large foreign cars. Of course, a diplomat or a big businessman will look ridiculous at the wheel of an Audi A1, but such a car is quite suitable for a young and successful manager. The most important thing is that the car looks expensive and stylish and, despite its size, stands out favorably in the general flow of cars. And by the way, the legendary Mini - the main competitor of the Audi A1 hatchback, still looks more “small” and defenseless on the road.
Comfort in the Audi A1If we talk about the comfort of the new Audi A1 and the quality of the trim, they are no worse than the more expensive German cars. An important factor - everything looks in a modern way, in tone with the latest automotive fashion, and the interior design itself is made without unnecessary stylistic frills.
Everything is extremely beautiful, expensive and at hand. The only minus to comfort in the cabin is that the front passengers are sitting close to each other, but for the rear passengers, as in other cars of this class, there is still not enough space. But its function is to deliver its owner to work, give him joy along the way and arouse admiration of others, this car performs in full. By the way, there are more than enough options for decorating and installing additional equipment in the cabin, however, the price of the Audi A1 can increase by an order of magnitude.
Handling Audi A1Even a novice driver can drive the new Audi A1. In this car, everything is predictable, simple and clear. The car easily obeys the steering wheel, it is very nimble in rearrangements, is able to enter turns at high speed without drifts and banks, despite the soft suspension. True, here the review when reversing is far from ideal - you need to get used to using only mirrors and do not look back. By the way, the Audi A1, which assumes the presence of all kinds of electronic innovations, has an integrated start-stop system on board, designed to save fuel when driving in traffic jams. During a stop in a traffic jam, this system automatically turns off the engine.
Under the hood of the Audi A1In terms of its dynamic performance, this car cannot be said to be “ahead of the rest” - with the most powerful turbocharged engine of 1.4 liters and 122 horsepower, acceleration to “hundreds” takes almost 9 seconds. True, it is worth noting that the operation of the S-Troinic electronic dual-clutch gearbox and the engine torque curve are perfectly tuned - no “dips” or “delays” during acceleration of the Audi A1. As for efficiency, the fuel consumption when driving around the city is from 6 to 7 liters per 100 km with harmful CO2 emissions of -139 g / km, while the version with an engine of 1.2 liters is more economical in this regard.
The choice of engine size also affects the price of the new Audi A1, which starts from the AED 89 900, so keep this in mind when going to a car dealership. As a standard option for the Middle East region, special finishes and equipment designed for countries with hot climates are offered, as well as free service for 4 years / 60 thousand kilometers and a 3 year warranty.
Good luck on the road!
