Audi has taken the covers off the latest version of the A1 Sportback, with a much more aggressive look than before.
The compact model has sharper lines on the front grille and incorporates three slits at the end of the bonnet that hark back to the Sport quattro rally car from the 1980s.
It also comes with a contrasting roof line to make the car appear smaller and lower to the road, while the optional LED daytime running lights also come with an angled appearance.
Despite the dimensions of the car only increasing 65mm lengthways, the boot has grown by 65 litres to 335 litres in the standard configuration – which can be increased to 1,090 litres with the rear seats folded down.

From the base spec, the A1 comes with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and multifunction steering wheel – with the brand’s Virtual Cockpit an optional extra that adds extra graphics to scroll through.
Coming with an 8.8-inch infotainment display as standard, customers can specify a 10.1-inch touchscreen system that blends into the gloss dashboard and can be paired to a smartphone. The A1 also comes with a DAB radio, a Bang & Olufsen sound system and a wireless charging pad.
Audi has said power options will range from 93bhp up to 197bhp and only come in petrol. Those will be paired to a manual, six-speed or seven-speed automatic transmission.
