IAB’s automotive illustrator Shoeb Kalania has whipped up a
digital rendering of the toughened-up Audi A1 Allroad. The new model will become the
smallest model to feature the Allroad livery. The 2019 Audi A1 Allroad will
feature a plastic body cladding, bigger wheels, a faux skid plate, and a taller
ride height.
The highlight of the interior of the 2019 Audi A1
Allroad will be the 10.25-inch Virtual Cockpit digital instrumentation.
Furthermore, the dashboard will feature an 8.8-inch touchscreen display for the
MMI infotainment unit. It will offer smartphone mirroring through Apple CarPlay
and Android Auto. While the interior of the new model will mimic that of its
hatchback-sibling, one can safely expect a revision of the upholstery and more
colour on the trims.
It is understood that the range-topping engine
options for the regular A1 would make it to the Allroad version. For the 2019
Audi A1 Sportback, the engine options include petrol motors with power outputs
ranging from 95 hp to 200 hp. All the motors benefit from
turbocharging and direct injection technology. Transmission options across all
the variants include a 6-speed manual and a seven-speed S-tronic dual-clutch
automatic unit. The only exception is the range-topping motor, which is
available with a six-speed S-tronic transmission only.
The 2019 Audi A1 is expected to be unveiled early
next year, with the market launch likely to take place in mid-2019.
