The Audi A1 is a compact five-door petrol hatchback offering premium cabin quality in a 4.03m footprint, with a 335-litre boot and five-star Euro NCAP safety. Two trims are offered, Sport and S Line, both using a 1-litre turbo petrol engine with manual or automatic gearboxes.
The Audi A1 is a small five-door petrol hatchback that puts a premium cabin and a familiar four-ring badge into a car just 4.03 metres long. It sits at the compact end of Audi's line-up, below the family hatchbacks and SUVs, and it's aimed squarely at drivers who want something smart and easy to place in town without stepping down in quality.
Audi no longer lists the A1 in its new-car price list, so the versions shown here are available while stocks last. That makes the choice simpler than it once was: one body style, one petrol engine family, and two trims - Sport and S Line.
It seats five, carries 335 litres of luggage with the rear seats up, and comes with a 3-year / 60,000-mile manufacturer warranty. If you want the full Audi range instead, our Audi lease deals page covers every model we can supply.

Manufacturer data for the versions we currently offer. Last updated 19 September 2026.
The A1 is Audi's smallest hatchback: a five-seat, five-door supermini measuring 4.03 m long and 1.41 m tall, with a 2.55 m wheelbase and a 10.6 m turning circle. Around town, those numbers matter more than any spec sheet boast.
Reviewers consistently praise the cabin - the design, the materials and the screens feel a class above most superminis - and they're equally consistent that the driving experience is competent rather than thrilling, with a firmer ride on the sportier suspension. Boot space is 335 litres with the seats up and 1,090 litres folded, which is usefully more than the car's footprint suggests. Euro NCAP awarded it five stars, including 95% for adult occupant protection.
Because every A1 arrives generously equipped for its size, and leasing keeps you in a fixed monthly payment across the warranty period. Standard kit on every version includes a digital instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, LED headlights, air conditioning, sports seats and DAB radio.
Safety and assistance are covered too: autonomous emergency braking, traffic sign recognition and rear parking sensors are fitted throughout, alongside automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror and power-folding door mirrors. Servicing falls due every 24 months or 19,000 miles, so a typical lease term involves very little diary management.
One practical point we're often asked about: there's no spare wheel, just a tyre repair kit. Worth knowing before delivery day rather than after a puncture.
There's one engine family here, so the real decision is power output and gearbox rather than fuel type. Nothing plugs in, nothing needs charging, and every version drives the front wheels.
A three-cylinder turbo petrol producing 94-114 bhp, with 175-200 Nm of torque, driving the front wheels through a 5 or 7-speed gearbox in manual or automatic form. WLTP economy is 49.6-52.3 mpg and CO2 is 123-129 g/km. Expect 0-62 mph in 9.8-11.5 seconds depending on version, and a top speed of 119-124 mph. It suits town and commuting mileage; insurance groups run from 15 to 18.

Two trims are offered, and the gap between them is mostly about appearance rather than equipment. Both start with the 94 bhp engine and front-wheel drive, and both share the same core technology.
Sport gives you 16-inch "10 Spoke" alloy wheels, cloth upholstery, front sports seats, cruise control, camera-based traffic sign recognition, a three-spoke leather multifunction plus steering wheel, manually adjustable front lumbar support and MMI radio plus with a 10.1-inch colour MMI display and MMI touch.
The Sport is currently available from £274.68 a month.
S Line adds privacy glass and an ambient lighting package over Sport, moves up to 17-inch "5 V Spoke" alloy wheels and part-leather upholstery, and swaps in sports suspension - which does firm up the ride. Front sports seats are available as an option here.
The S Line is currently available from £297.13 a month. Against the Sport, that is currently £22.45/mo more expensive.

If you like the A1's size but want to weigh up the alternatives, look at the Volkswagen Polo and SEAT Ibiza, which share much of the A1's engineering, plus the Vauxhall Corsa and Hyundai I20.
