The New Audi A1 Sportback Car � designed to fill the slot left by the discontinued A2 � lacks the MINI�s wistful sensibilities, but it comes packing an extra set of doors, four usable seats, some handsome sheetmetal and an multimedia interface that ties in with the driver�s mobile phone to provide navigation, music and an internet connection. Oh, and New Audi A1 Sportback Car can make calls too.
The New Audi A1 Sportback Car ace-in-the-hole may be its five door body-style, offering up a dose of practicality not found in the standard BMW-based MINI. Don�t expect too many styling changes to be made before the new A1 is released in Europe as an �09 model. The concept sports what appears to be a new mild hybrid powertrain with a 150-horsepower 1.4L TSI engine mated up to a 27-horse electric motor. That combo sends power through Audi�s S-Tronic dual clutch gearbox, which is essentially Volkswagen�s superlative DSG transmission with a new name. Mileage is spectacular at 60.3 mpg (U.S.) and carbon emissions are low, just 92 g/km.
As you can see, the newcomer certainly doesn�t lack visual flair, with clean lines inspired by last year�s Metro Project quattro. It�s practical too, with a five-door layout and capable of transporting four adults thanks to two full-sized individual rear seats.We�ll get more details when the newcomer is officially unveiled, so come back to Auto Express online tomorrow for the full story.
