Only that in this generation, he got rid of the model version with three doors. Audi says that customers have repeatedly chosen the "SportBack" version.

The design of the new Audi A1 can be linked to the Ur-Quattro and Sport Quattro models, and although the A1 is far from rally car, has quite a few design similarities with them. In the rear, the falling roof line and the black color of the roof give it more aggressive look, especially when compared to its predecessor. Otherwise, the various openings have only a cosmetic function... and are there to make the car look a little better. Otherwise, the exceptional C-pillar, which otherwise slightly disturbs the transparency of the car,  emphasize sharp corners cropped rear. When choosing the S Line package, however, he will have an A1 larger air openings and a larger rear spoiler. There will be a choice of rims in sizes from 15 to 18 inches. The latter will be available in black or platinum gray color with the already mentioned equipment From Line.
