AUDIA1 Sportback 2018 - Present

　　The origins of the small premium model A1 were linked to the VW Polo platform. The sum of luxurious items and a different badge on the grille helped the german manufacturer to gain more from the cheap platform. Since more and more customers were concerned more about the look, fit and finish, Audi moved on and repeated the technical recipe, by installing more technology and adding luxury options, specific for the upper-class Audis.

　　The exterior look of the second-generation Audi A1 Sportback received a fresh design with Audi-type design elements such as the single-frame front end, rear wings remembering those on the Audi Sport quattro from 1984 and side air inlets. The exterior dimensions grew compared to the first generation. Now it is 4.03m (13.2ft) long, with a 1.74m (5.7ft) width, and it has a height of 1.41m (4.6ft).

　　The engine range comprises only of direct-injected gasoline units with power ranging between 95 hp and 200 hp. Apart from the top version, a 7-speed dual-clutch S Tronic transmission is available for any of the engine variants. The top version is fitted as standard with a 6-speed S tronic automatic transmission.

　　But, despite the look and the 200 hp engine, underneath the body there is a McPherson suspension for the front and a semi-independent rear suspension.
