The new five-door Sportback version of Audi’s premium subcompact A1 saloon goes on sale next month priced from £13,980 to £21,270, but first deliveries won’t be made till Spring 2012.
The extra two doors adds a £560 premium over the equivalent three door model and offers a full five-seat capability. And despite the similar dimensions, there’s slightly more head and shoulder room.

Standard features include alloy wheels, split/folding rear seat, front and rear electric windows, air conditioning, single CD audio system with MP3 compatibility, ESP with latest differential lock system
The Sport model additions include larger 16-inch wheels, sports suspension, sports seats, Bluetooth mobile phone preparation and a Driver’s Information System. Beyond that, the S line versions get an exclusive S line exterior treatment plus larger 17-inch alloy wheels, S line sports suspension and leather and cloth combination upholstery.
Of most interest to us will be the turbocharged and supercharged 1.4 TFSI 185 PS with its seven-speed S tronic twin-clutch gearbox. Audi says it will sprint from 0 to 62 mph in 7.0 seconds and top out at 141 mph. The same transmission will also be available as an option for the 122 PS, 1.4 TFSI.
