Pros & Cons
What we love
✓The A1 Sportback 35 TFSI Sport is a different proposition to the 25 and 30 TFSI variants — the 1.5 TFSI four-cylinder produces 150 PS (148 hp) and 250 Nm, lowering the 0–62 time to 7.9 seconds and lifting the top speed to 134.8 mph (217 km/h). The cylinder-on-demand system deactivates two of the four cylinders under light load for improved efficiency: 47.1 mpg UK WLTP combined (Sport trim, CONFIRMED from official Audi UK data). The combination of real-world pace and reasonable running costs makes the 35 TFSI compelling for those who use the A1 on faster roads
✓At the Sport trim level the 35 TFSI already comes with MMI navigation, 16" alloys, contrast stitching, sport exterior detailing, and the full active safety suite. The 7-speed S tronic pairs well with the 1.5 TFSI's broader torque curve — 250 Nm is available from just 1,500 rpm — meaning the A1 pulls from low speed with authority that the 1.0L three-cylinder variants cannot match
Considerations
✕Dual-zone climate not standard on Sport — optional upgrade (standard from S line)
✕Heated seats optional on all trims — not standard even on 35 TFSI
✕Blind-spot monitor and adaptive cruise control remain optional throughout the A1 range
✕No panoramic or sunroof available at any A1 trim level
✕⚠ CRITICAL: Verify that the 35 TFSI is still available in the 2026 UK run-out range — some 2026 listings show only 1.0L engines; the 1.5 TFSI may have been discontinued for the final model year
✕Estimated price ~£25,000 — ⚠ VERIFY against live Audi UK configurator
