New Audi A1 car is created on the platform of the Volkswagen PQ-25 (produced Polo V and the new Ibiza). The expressive front and rear svetobloks as well as special color front and rear body pillar do this car individual (offered as an option). In general, the new model looks interesting and attractive.

There is also a 1.39-liter 16-valve TFSI, which delivers up to 122 hp and 200 Nm of torque, and that another engine is fitted with a start-stop, which suppresses it at every opportunity (the engine “strangled”).
