The Audi A3 is a compact sized hatchback but the A1 is said to be smaller yet still powerful. This may have an unusually basic design but it will undoubtedly catch the attention of each and every car fanatic in the world. It is said to be a better version of the hatchback as it has been reshaped and redesigned for every driver’s convenience.
 
The Story Behind the Design
 
Although it may have a simple style, the Audi A1 is definitely something that every car enthusiast would like to have sitting in their garage. As the design has been introduced, numerous critics have agreed that it borrowed some of its looks from its predecessor, the Volkswagen Polo. This car is currently available in the European market. As some of us may know, Audi is a top division of the renowned company Volkswagen.
 
Starting with the design of the Audi A3, the A1 has been trimmed down to an even more compact car. If we compare it to the Mini cooper however, the A1 would come out larger in terms of the height, width and length. As a matter of fact, many experts have described the A1’s size as closely resembling that of the BMW 1 Series.
 
Interior and Exterior Details
 
One of the things that make this Audi A1 special is that it is unlike any other car that Audi has offered in the past. The manufacturers have decided to cross the normal boundaries and head in a new direction when it comes to the style of the car. First glance at the exterior will tell you this; the car has two additional doors, added for an even stronger and sleeker look.
 
In the meantime, when you take a peek inside the car, you will see that it has the capacity to hold up to four people while leaving enough room for baggage. The dashboard as well as the center console is located closer in relation to the driver’s seat so that the passengers will still have enough room while the driver focus’ on enjoying the road. If you have already seen the other Audis that have been released before, particularly the A3, you will notice that the seats have been modified. There has been a great deal of concentration on the ergonomic design assuring the driver and passengers will not only be comfortable, but will also feel a sense of pride riding in it. Special materials have been used for the seats that somehow promote even more class and sophistication. Audi offers two colors for the interior, red and white. Either color offers the feeling of spaciousness and comfort.
 
Release Information
 
There have been many reports and rumors circulating that Audi has decided not to offer the Audi A1 concept car in the United States. Many believe that the reason behind this is that the American market will not be able to afford the vehicle.
