audi a1 40 tfsi review

The Audi A1 40 TFSI is the pint-sized hot hatch that thinks it’s just eaten its Weet-Bix, with a punchy 2.0‑litre turbo pushing about 147 kW and 320 Nm.

It fires off 0–100 km/h in roughly 6.5–6.8 s through a slick 7‑speed dual‑clutch and front‑wheel drive, so mind the torque‑steer if the road’s lumpy.

Economy sits around 6–7 L/100 km in the real world, while the cabin feels properly premium for the class with the Virtual Cockpit and smartphone mirroring.

Ride is on the firm side (S line vibes), rear space is tight for adults, and the torsion-beam rear doesn’t love sharp bumps, but it’s city-sized fun with big‑car pace.

Boot space is respectable for a supermini and safety kit is generous, though adaptive cruise availability varies by year and pack.

Consult official documentation for exact figures.
