White Body with Striking Black Contrast Roof
Since its launch in 2011, the Audi "A1" has condensed advanced, dynamic design and agile performance into a compact body less than four meters long. Last year, the five-door model "A1 Sportback" joined the lineup, establishing itself as a leader in the premium compact car segment.
The powertrain consists of a 1.4-liter direct-injection turbocharged gasoline engine producing a maximum output of 90kW (122ps) at 5,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 200Nm (20.4kgm) between 1,500 and 4,000 rpm, paired with a 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission. It also features an idling stop system and an energy regeneration system, achieving a fuel economy of 17.8 km/ℓ under the JC08 mode.
The exterior of the newly released Audi A1 Sportback Urban Style Limited features a Glacier White Metallic body color combined with a specially colored Brilliant Black contrast roof. The front grille is also blacked out, sharpening its expression and further enhancing the monochrome contrast.
This model maximizes the A1's characteristic range of optional items, and it's also appealing that many parts not previously available have been generously incorporated.
While retaining Audi's signature design elements such as the long shoulder line that runs linearly along the body sides, the roofline forming a powerful arc, and the rear combination lamps that create a unique brilliance through their intricate lens design, it has been given a more refined and sporty impression.
Additionally, it is equipped with 17-inch aluminum wheels with a gloss black inner rim, an advanced key with a body-colored cover, and bi-xenon headlights.
The price is 3.35 million yen.
