Newly Available for the 3-Door A1
Audi's most compact model, theA1, and theA1 Sportback. These are premium hatchback models that pack Audi's signature sporty driving into a compact body under four meters in length.
The newly released special edition "Admired Plus" is the third installment, following the limited edition "Admired 2" of the A1 Sportback sold last year. This is the first time it has also been offered for the three-door A1. Both are based on the "1.4TFSI" grade, which combines a 1.4-liter direct-injection turbo engine producing a maximum output of 90kW (122ps) with a 7-speed S tronic transmission. They also feature an idling stop function to improve fuel efficiency.
Special features include an "S line" exterior kit on the front and rear bumpers and diffuser. The wheels are 17-inch, 5-spoke V-design aluminum wheels with an inch upgrade. Other additions include the Bi-xenon package and a contrast roof.
While the interior does not feature "S line" styling, it is accented with body-colored air vent surrounds and includes the Navigation package as standard. An LED interior lighting package has also been added.
The body colors are available in Misano Red and Glacier White. The sales figures and prices are: 110 units of the three-door A1 for 3.34 million yen, and 280 units of the five-door A1 Sportback for 3.62 million yen.
