These renderings are attempting to decipher what
Audi's next A1 will look like when launched in
the beginning of 2018. They're the work of RemcoM who based them on the latest
A1 prototypes using the more recent Audi models like the A3 and Q2 for
inspiration with the details.
It's an evolutionary take on the 2019 A1, with the
sub-compact sporting the newest interpretation of Audi's grille and headlights
with LED DRLs, A3-inspired taillights, and C-pillars similar to those found on
the Q2.
The new Audi A1 will be underpinned
by the MWB A0 platform, shared with the latest Seat Ibiza. The architecture
will allow it to grow in size, and use a revised engine lineup, though some of
the current units, such as the entry-level 1.0-liter 3-banger, are expected to
continue.
Joining the lineup later on will be a hybrid and a
high-performance S1, believed to come with AWD and around 250 horses. The new
A1 will be manufactured on the same assembly line in Martorell, Spain as the
latest SEAT Ibiza.
