What is the difference between Audi A1 hatchback and Sportback?

The Audi A1 Sportback is the more practical, five-door version of the three-door Audi A1. It’s slightly easier to live with, but lacks some of the three-door version’s sleek looks – although a wide colour palette and customisation options helps soften that blow.

Is an Audi A1 expensive to run?

The Audi A1 is a lightweight car with some efficient engines, so it will be very cheap to run. The combination of the Audi A1’s small size and efficient engine range makes it a good choice for buyers who value excellent fuel economy.

How many miles does an Audi A1 last?

But with a reasonable amount of maintenance, a modern vehicle can last to somewhere between a 150,000 to 200,000 miles. That number is based on taking really good care of the car, doing all of the maintenance that is required and recommended; and replacing your audi parts as soon as they start to wear out.

Is the Audi A1 Sportback bigger than the Audi A1?

And with Audi offering a wide range of diesel and petrol engines, – all turbocharged and with stop start – there should be something to suit all needs. Audi’s A1 5-door Sportback is slightly taller and wider than its 3-door sibling, but you’ll find very little penalty in terms of style.

Do you pay road tax on Audi A1?

In general terms, the Audi A1 shouldn’t cost any more to run than similarly high-spec supermini rivals, at least when it comes to filling up, insurance and road tax. However, maintenance costs could be a little higher than some, as you’ll be helping to play for all those swishy Audi showrooms.

Which Audi A1 is most economical?

The cheapest A1s to insure are the ones with the least powerful 1.0-litre petrol engine, which fall into group 15, and the 1.6-litre diesel versions, which start in group 14. An early 1.2-litre petrol is the cheapest of the lot, though, because it’s only in group 9.
