The A1 Sportback is the more practical five-door version of the Audi A1 Copyright Dean Smith
It shares mechanical parts with the Skoda Fabia, VW Polo and SEAT Ibiza As well as regular petrol and diesel models, there's a high-performance S1 Sportback Copyright Dean Smith
The five-door Sportback is slightly wider and taller than the three-door A1 Trim levels are SE, Sport and S line Larger alloy wheels looks good on the Sportback, but can hurt ride quality The A1 Sportback has similarly elegant lines to Audi's larger executive cars Many buyers are willing to pay a premium for that prestigious four-ringed badge Sleek LED lights mark out the front end The A1 has the sort of interior usually associated with larger and more expensive cars Space up front is generous for driver and passenger The dashboard fit and finish is impeccable A multimedia infotainment screen lowers into the dash when not needed Although it's easier to get in the back of the Sportback than the three-door, space is still a bit tight The same high-quality interior materials are used in the back Boot capacity isn't as good as some cheaper superminis But the A1 Sportback is still a useful small family car
