How many miles will an Audi A1 last?

Long-term report: Long-distance trips prove little trouble for the Audi A1 Though compact in size, the A1 punches well above its weight when it comes to cross-country ability. Audi A1 Take just a short look at the Audi A1 and you’d think that because of its compact size it would be a little underwhelming to drive over long distances. You see traditionally smaller cars do tend to struggle on the motorway. With a smaller overall size and a narrower track, they’ve often proved somewhat wearisome to pilot when the miles rack up. The A1 is Audi’s smallest model on sale Though for longer jaunts I’d always lean towards an automatic gearbox, the A1’s six-speed ‘box is perfectly suited to life at higher speeds, with the sixth cog judged just right to ensure that the car’s turbocharged 1.0-litre isn’t buzzing too high up the rev range when you’re sat at 70mph.

I’ve noticed the economy benefits, too, with figures in the mid- to high-50’s proving more than achievable. I think that if I put my mind – and right foot – to it, you could probably crack 60mpg. Which is quite exceptional. And when it comes to filling up, there’s little worry about either. I’ve run quite low in the A1 – down to the readout displaying zero miles of range, in fact – but a full tank costs just under £45 at the local supermarket.

From that, the Audi reads around 420 miles of range, though I’ve been getting nearer to 500. For a car of this size and type, that kind of range is pretty sensational in my view. The A1 has proved a reliable companion over many miles of driving So if you’re after a car that is cheap to run, then the A1 certainly ticks the boxes. It’s also one of the few cars that I’ve encountered recently which features wireless Apple CarPlay.

It means you can get into the car and after start-up, the infotainment system ‘finds’ your phone and immediately switches to CarPlay. Given that in most cars you have to connect a cable in order to get this function, it’s a great way of keeping the cabin free of cables looping here, there and everywhere.

Though you might remember that last month I finally got the chance to test out the A1’s wireless charging tray, only for it to overheat my phone, I’ve struck a compromise. For shorter trips, the charging tray is great for boosting your battery life a few per cent. The interior is robust and well made The colour continues to be exceptional, too. It’s not very often that people come up to me unprovoked and comment on the shade of the car I’m driving, but it’s happened more times than I care to imagine with the A1.

It’s a properly cool colour, which is probably why Audi used it on its special ‘Green Hell’ R8 released recently. Though the A1 might be just a tiny bit slower than Audi’s range-topping supercar, it’s quite nice to know that the pair share a link – as well as matching grille designs. And though its compact size does restrict it somewhat in outright practicality, it’s easily one of the car’s key plus points when you pitch up into a city.

Though over lockdown the A1 spent much of its life doing short stints the shops and back, more recently I’ve taken it to Dorset, Devon and even as far away as Lincolnshire. A stop off in Weymouth saw the need arise to find a parking space quickly. In any other car, I’d have been circling for hours. The inlets at the front of the A1 also feature on the range-topping R8 The little A1 is due to go back to Audi shortly and though I feel like much of our time together has been dominated by the coronavirus pandemic and the resulting drivetime-reducing lockdown, I feel like we’ve certainly made up for the lost time. There’s surely space for one last long drive, right?

Is an Audi expensive to service?

Are Audis expensive to maintain? – It’s vexing to hear, but the answer really does depend on several factors. Regardless of the brand of car you drive, a large chunk of its reliability comes down to the environment in which its driven, how you drive it, how it’s stored and – most importantly – how often a mechanic gets to see it.

The quality of the build and the components also determine a car’s longevity and reliability, which is why Audis are so popular. They do, however, also have a reputation as expensive to maintain. In general, German cars have more expensive components, which can make them more expensive to replace. Coupled with this is the fact that they have to be imported, leading to shipping and tax costs.

But you shouldn’t decide how expensive a particular car is to maintain based on one repair job. What actually matters is the cost over a vehicle’s lifetime. For example, replacing the motor that powers the windows in an Audi might be more expensive than in a Mazda or Ford, but you might never actually have to do that in your Audi.

Do Audi A1 hold their value?

The Audi A1 is a really popular small car, and it’s easy to see why: it offers some of the attributes of larger, more expensive Audi models in a smaller, more affordable package. It has a high-quality and fashionable interior that has stood the test of time, plus it’s efficient, has a good range of engines and is decent to drive, if not as fun as its main rival – the MINI hatch. Top 10 best used small cars 2022 The Audi A1 is a supermini, which means it’s smaller than a family hatch such as a Volkswagen Golf but not quite as tiny as a city car like a Volkswagen Up. It sets itself apart from many other superminis by targeting more affluent buyers – at least when it was new.

The first-generation Audi A1 we’re looking at here arrived in 2010. It was a response from Audi to the success of BMW’s MINI brand, which brought upmarket car traits to more mainstream customers, and it used tech from Audi’s sister brand Volkswagen (namely from the Polo supermini). Other superminis include the Ford Fiesta, Peugeot 208 and Vauxhall Corsa, although the Audi is more expensive than those models; it justifies its price with a high-quality interior with plenty of tech.

Using its know-how from building executive models, Audi has given the A1 an impeccable cabin that long-distance drivers are sure to appreciate, with only the MINI rivaling its upmarket feel. The four rings on the A1’s grille have also imbued it with excellent resale values, so you should at least get more of your initial investment back when it comes time to sell.

Does Audi A1 use a lot of fuel?

Audi A1 MPG & CO2 – You can expect good fuel consumption figures on all versions of the A1, except perhaps the discontinued 40 TFSI. The entry-level 94bhp turbocharged three-cylinder 1.0-litre 25 TFSI petrol engine claims up to 51.4mpg with CO2 emissions from 124g/km with 15-inch alloy wheels fitted.

That’s partly thanks to the tall ratios in its standard five-speed manual gearbox, although the seven-speed S tronic automatic returns a decent figure too, at up to 48.7mpg, but emissions increase to 131g/km. For company-car drivers, that means a Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) tax rating similar to its rivals.

A more powerful 109bhp 30 TFSI is a tuned version of the same engine, and actually manages ever-so-slightly better fuel economy at up to 53.3mpg on the entry-level model – partly thanks to a sixth gear in the gearbox. CO2 emissions start at 123g/km for this model.

Above this, the 35 TFSI is fitted with a 1.5-litre petrol with cylinder-deactivation technology, a system that effectively reduces the size of the engine when full power isn’t required. It’s only available with Audi’s S tronic automatic gearbox, and offers up to 47.1mpg and emissions starting at 137g/km despite plenty of punch.

The now-discontinued A1 40 TFSI was the thirstiest at 42.8mpg. It had an uncharacteristically large 2.0-litre turbo related to the engine found in models like the Volkswagen Golf GTI, producing 204bhp. It also had the highest emissions of the A1 range, starting at 150g/km.

Is Audi A1 good for long drive?

Month one: Hello Audi A1 Sportback Running a small car with a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine seems to have become ‘my thing’. The Audi A1 Sportback – or hatchback to everyone else – is my third. I think it’s become my thing for a reason though.

• I’m young (ishhhh), live in a town, not married, no kids, and no crazy hobbies involving really large items.
• So what could be better for my everyday driving? I also really like driving (as you’d imagine in this job), so it’s been good the cars I’ve lived with so far have also been very decent on the road.

There are many cars out there I could have been driving over the past 18 months that would be worse than a Seat Ibiza, Ford Fiesta and now, a very lovely, very teal (Tioman Green to be exact), Audi A1. The Audi A1 is the premium company’s most affordable and attainable car, but it doesn’t just rely on that badge.

It’s a very good looking car. The previous generation of A1 looked a bit like a bug it was all rounded and a bit awkward. But the new A1 is sharper, with some nice creases, which give it a bit of sportiness. I think it looks great, and it certainly gets a few more looks than my Ford Fiesta or Seat Ibiza ever did.

All versions get full LED headlights and rear lights, along with alloy wheels. My version is the Sport trim, which means you get 16-inch wheels (rather than the 15-inch ones you get on the entry level model). The new Audi A1 is five-door only too – the old three-door model only accounted for 20% of sales, so it’s gone. Month two: What’s it got going on? If you’ve ever read an Audi review on Auto Trader, you might have seen the interior section usually gets the full five stars. Audi is renowned for its interior quality and style. The A1’s interior, for a small car is still very good, but maybe not quite as fancy as its bigger, plusher cars.

For the price, and compared to rivals, there are a few bits of scratchy plastic you might be a bit slightly disappointed by, but it’s not going to ruin your life. If you go for the standard A1, you’ll get an 8.8-inch touchscreen in the centre of the dashboard. That’s still very big for a small car, and it comes with Bluetooth, DAB radio and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay,

However, the only way to get an inbuilt sat-nav is if you opt for the Technology Pack. At £1,650 it’s certainly not a cheap option, especially on a small car, but it does get you quite a bit of additional kit. For starters, instead of the 8.8-inch touchscreen, you get a bigger 10.1-inch display.

• The sat-nav is more of a detailed picture than a drawn map, which looks really good and is easy to follow and use.
• You can add up to ten interim destinations if you’re really popular and have ten other friends to visit before your final destination.
• I can’t say I’ve ever used that many.
• It offers alternative routes based on traffic or economy, and lane recommendations, which is particularly useful on motorways or at big, busy roundabouts.

It would however help if you got this information a bit earlier, especially when there’s lots of traffic about. If you do regular routes, like between home and work, the sat-nav will suggest alternatives to avoid traffic jams. And you can either type on the touchscreen, write with your finger – which I’ve had about as much success with as I’ve had when you have to sign for parcels on a screen – or using your voice. If you haven’t got the Technology pack, you get the standard digital cockpit (a screen replaces the traditional speed/rev dials). But when you have the Tech pack, you get Audi’s fancier Virtual Cockpit. As well as doing all the things the digital cockpit does, the Virtual Cockpit displays Audi Connect Services, your sat-nav, driver assist systems, and you can change what view you have i.e.

Whether you want big dials and a small sat-nav, or small dials and a big map. On top of that, the Tech pack gets you a 36-month subscription to Audi Connect Infotainment services, so you can find out the weather, news, access Twitter, fuel prices, check your calendar etc. And you get a wireless charging pad for your smartphone.

This would be great, and really useful, but I have a Huawei phone, which doesn’t support wireless charging. Grr. It does also mean you can connect two phones to the car at the same time, though, via two Bluetooth interfaces. That’s all the tech stuff! I also opted for the front centre armrest.

It’s annoying that this is a £150 option, because it’s nice to have an armrest, and it seems a bit tight that it’s not included as standard. It has a little storage compartment underneath, but you could only really fit a chocolate bar or something in it. And heated seats, which are a £300 option. I love heated seats.

I also love a heated steering wheel. Even in the height of summer I’ll have heated seats on. They’re ace. And they’re super toasty in the Audi A1. I would always opt for heated seats. Month three: Jesus take the wheel! Oh wait, it’s the lane keep assist. I am all for making driving safer. In 2017, there were 1,793 people killed on the roads in Britain. Various car companies have recently made pledges to do all they can to reduce or even completely eradicate anyone dying in their cars.

1. Over the past few years, we’ve seen all kinds of advanced safety systems added to cars of all levels, from budget to top-end supercars.
2. The technology is so commonplace now, that if a car wants to achieve the full five-star rating from crash safety organisation Euro NCAP, it has to be fitted with an autonomous emergency braking system.

These systems work in several ways. They help to avoid a driver having a crash in the first place by identifying a potential dangerous situation, and warning the driver. Many of the systems will apply the brakes for you, or give you more power to brake, to avoid you having a crash.

1. And some systems can reduce the severity of a crash by preparing the vehicle (perhaps by closing the windows) and seatbelts for an impact, if it’s unavoidable.
2. My Audi A1 is fitted with Audi pre-sense front with pedestrian and cyclist recognition as standard.
3. Audi’s system uses radar sensors to warn of a potential collision, and will brake for you.

If the car thinks you’re going to crash, it first warns the driver with a flashing red ‘!’ on the dashboard and makes some pinging noises. If a driver still doesn’t respond, it will apply to brakes for you. It’s better to err on the side of caution, but the system seems quite nervous. I was relatively late braking in traffic – but still perfectly aware of the upcoming situation – and before I knew it the system had simultaneously given me the red flash of doom, pinged, and slammed on the anchors.

1. Bit of a shock.
2. It’s also done it when a car has been pulling to a stop in a side road when you’re on the main road.
3. More of an issue though has been the Active Lane Assist system.
4. In the A1, the system is designed to keep the car in the centre of the lane.
5. At speeds over 37mph (ish), a camera detects where the lines of the road are, and that your car is between them.

If you move towards the line without indicating, the system will steer you back into the lane with ‘gentle’ intervention to the steering. However, I have found repeatedly that the system really struggles on country lanes, where there’s often no white line on the left of the road.

Countless times the car has decided I’m not driving in the centre of the road and tried to push me towards – and over – the white line. You find yourself wrestling with the steering wheel to try to correct it, which can be quite distracting. The same thing goes when you’re trying to overtake cyclists.

If you go for an overtake without indicating, again the steering assist kicks in and sends you towards the cyclist you’re trying to avoid. Month four: Hey good lookin’ The response I’ve had to my Audi A1 from friends and family, and a few strangers, compared to my other cars – including the Ford Fiesta and Seat Ibiza – has been really positive. Although it might be the company’s cheapest model, and a very similar car to the Seat Ibiza, it’s still got that Audi badge. I decided to take my A1 on an adventure to the end of the country this month, trekking from Berkshire all the way to Land’s End. And it was quite a trek! Even when you get into Cornwall you just keep on going and going, and going. But my little A1 took it all in its stride, swallowing up all the stuff two Millennials who can’t pack lightly for a long weekend away could throw at it, with room to spare.

1. That included two small suitcases, two squishy weekend bags, a yoga mat, a case of wine, walking boots, and a few other bits and bobs.
2. The roads around Cornwall are on the smaller side, and when you get into the small towns and villages it gets even tighter, but the A1 was happy pootling around the likes of Mousehole and St Ives, even on a busy Bank Holiday weekend.

All alloy wheels survived unscathed, and all paintwork remained unscratched, despite the best efforts of some locals in their giant Volvo XC90 barrelling towards me at ridiculous speeds. To be fair, they were probably doing 30mph or so, but the roads there are TINY. Month five: Hit the road, Hogg How a car drives is apparently quite far down a buyer’s list of priorities these days, but no-one wants to be miserable, uncomfortable, or feel unsafe behind the wheel, which are all aspects of how a car drives! My Audi A1 is the 30 TFSI, which is a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine with 116 horsepower.

For most people, it will definitely be as much power as you’ll need. It’s perky, you can get around easily, and the engine is quiet. I’ve got the six-speed manual gearbox which is nice and slick-shifting. It’s been really easy to use and I’d stick with it over the automatic gearbox option. With the Sport trim – which my car is – and basic SE, you get Audi’s ‘Dynamic’ suspension setup.

Although the trim is called Sport, it’s actually the most relaxed setup available. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun in this car. I’ve been really impressed with how it drives. It’s quick, responsive, darty, and if you find yourself on a fun road with some good corners, it’s got strong grip and hardly any body lean. The ride does have a bit of an edge to it, so you do feel some of the bumps and uneven surfaces out there, but it won’t have anyone complaining. Around town it’s great too. It’s small, so you can fit it in most places – including those tiny, tiny roads around Cornwall.

You’ve got a good view out the front, but the pillar at the back does cause the odd visibility issue when you’re pulling out of junctions. Although I’ve spent a good chunk of my time pottering around town in it, I’ve also done quite a few journeys up to Cheshire from Berkshire, and down to Weston-Super-Mare.

It’s been perfectly comfortable on longer journeys, and I’ve never been in any pain after a few hours behind the wheel. Month six: Time to, say goodbye It’s been the month for singing Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman, my beloved Audi A1 goes back soon. It sounds like such a cliché to say I’m going to miss it etc.etc., but I really am. It’s a car that really suits me: a 20-something (still, just about) Millennial who loves her tech, and her style, and apparently has a bit of subconscious badge snobbery going on.

During my six months, I’ve averaged a little over 50mpg, which is pretty good. It costs me around £45 to fill up the tank, which gets 440 miles or so. That’s usually including some motorway driving, and not thrashing it about everywhere. There’s a little ‘miles remaining’ indicator which has been really accurate too.

More accurate than in other cars, and even than in other Audis! Other than the over-enthusiastic safety systems, nothing has annoyed me, or not been up to the job, or not been spacious enough it’s all been great. I had a Ford Fiesta for six months before the Audi.

1. The sensible person in me would say the Fiesta was a bit better to drive (if you care about that), it had a few more gadgets, and it cost a few thousand pounds less than the Audi A1.
2. However, while the Fiesta may be a better car overall, it doesn’t have the Audi badge.
3. And for an extra few thousand pounds (or if you’re buying a car like most people do now, a bit more on a monthly PCP deal), compared with a lot of other very good small cars, you can have an Audi.

I think that’s what it comes down to with this car, and with the insanely competitive small car class. It becomes about what you really *want*, and what looks good. And the A1 ticks both of those boxes. It makes me smile when I see it in a car park, it suits me, and my lifestyle.

Is Audi A1 a luxury car?

The second generation Audi A1 almost has the luxury supermini class to itself. Its only direct rival is the MINI hatchback, with the style-led Fiat 500 existing as a less luxurious and smaller, but less expensive alternative too. Some buyers may also compare the A1 with other high-spec superminis like the Vignale versions of the Ford Fiesta, or small SUVs like the DS 3 Crossback and Peugeot 2008, Top 10 best luxury small cars 2022/2023 By the end of its life the original A1 started to feel a little dated against competitors, but the latest iteration looks more modern despite having been on sale for a few years now. It also offers more practicality than the previous model and is now only available in a five-door Sportback configuration.

This makes sense for a small family car, making the interior more usable, spacious and easier to access. Audi’s aim was to make the A1 the car to beat in the premium supermini class. It’s created a supermini that excels in terms of comfort and its interior, with cutting-edge style to boot. In fact, with three slots above a frameless six-sided grille designed to evoke memories of the Audi Quattro, the humble A1 is arguably among the sportiest looking cars Audi makes today.

There are sharp lines pressed into the bonnet and notable protruding shoulders above the front and rear wheel arches. These are products of the same design language used on the Audi A5 Coupe and Audi Q8 SUV, showing that premium touches aren’t just the preserve of the higher end of Audi’s range.

The cutting-edge interior style of more expensive Audi models has rubbed off on the A1, with the same bold horizontal lines as seen in the hi-tech Audi A8 luxury saloon. It may not have the multi-screen layout of more expensive models, but the standard digital dashboard and option of a glossy 10.1-inch MMI infotainment screen put the A1 at the forefront of the supermini class in technology terms.

You’ll find automatic emergency braking (AEB) and lane departure warning fitted as standard too. Three petrol engines are on offer but there’s no diesel option. The 109bhp 1.0-litre 30 TFSI is claimed to return around 53mpg, which is very competitive with the A1’s rivals.

• Either side of that is a 94bhp version of the 1.0-litre, badged 25 TFSI, plus a 1.5-litre 35 TFSI with 148bhp.
• A 2.0-litre 40 TFSI with 204bhp was previously offered in S line Competition trim, rivalling the Volkswagen Polo GTI and Ford Fiesta ST, but has since been discontinued.
• With an adequate, if not sparkling, 0-62mph time of 10.5 seconds, the 30 TFSI should suit most A1 customers, especially with the smooth-shifting seven-speed dual-clutch S tronic automatic gearbox.

We expect the best value to be found towards the bottom end of the A1 range – while the eye-catching S line has even more visual presence, the Sport is a great-looking car in its own right, and is far smoother on the road than the more firmly set up S line.

Alternatively, the Technik is even more subtle to look at, and only really misses out on parking sensors and sports seats. You’ll not find any A1 wanting for standard equipment, with alloy wheels, full LED exterior lighting, a digital dashboard, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto fitted across the range.

Safety is excellent, as proven by a five-star Euro NCAP crash-test rating. Audi will likely be disappointed with the A1’s 72nd place in our 2022 Driver Power owner satisfaction survey, Owners were disappointed with its ride and handling and the quality of its interior, although it scored highly for the smoothness of its gearbox.

Why is Audi service so expensive?

Audi Maintenance: Costs, Schedule & Common Repairs (2022) What does it take to keep your Audi in premier condition? recommends that all Audi vehicles receive minor maintenance service every 10,000 miles and standard maintenance service every 20,000 miles.

According to RepairPal, the Audi maintenance cost for 10,000-mile service is between $112 and $113, and Audi 20,000-mile servicing is a bit more expensive: between $460 and $612. Of course, more than the factory recommended maintenance goes into keeping your Audi on the road. The average annual repair cost for Audi vehicles (again, according to RepairPal) is $987.

One way to anticipate and avoid the cost of mechanical breakdowns is to purchase one of the, The Audi maintenance schedule may differ from model to model, but is largely the same for each type of Audi. The chart below describes the factory-recommended maintenance schedule for an Audi Q5.

The likely cost for these maintenance services, according to RepairPal, is detailed below:

One way to help finance your Audi maintenance cost is to purchase a prepaid maintenance plan. The Audi dealership offers Audi Care, which guarantees the use of trained technicians using only genuine Audi parts for necessary replacements. A prepaid maintenance plan protects against the cost of inflation and may be slightly cheaper in the long run.

10,000 miles/20,000 miles/30,000 miles/40,000 miles 30,000 miles/40,000 miles 40,000 miles/50,000 miles 50,000 miles/60,000 miles 60,000 miles/70,000 miles 70,000 miles/80,000 miles

Note that available maintenance intervals may depend on your vehicle model year. The cost of these contracts may vary by dealership, but a plan is likely to cost between $800 and $1,300 depending on your Audi model and which maintenance intervals you select.

These contracts are not transferable and cannot be canceled. Apart from regularly scheduled maintenance, you should also factor in unexpected breakdowns when budgeting for Audi maintenance costs. Although it’s impossible to predict when certain parts will break down on your vehicle, to understand the full cost of Audi ownership, you should at least consider common Audi issues as well as Audi reliability.

To assess reliability, our review team turns to RepairPal, a well-regarded cost-estimation site. RepairPal ranks car brands for reliability based on average annual repair cost, the frequency of unexpected repairs, and the probability that a needed repair is considered “severe.” A severe repair is any repair that costs more than three times the average annual repair cost across all models.

Includes regular maintenance services and mechanical breakdown repairs. The average annual Audi repair cost is relatively high, largely because Audis experience unexpected issues at a rate roughly double that of the average vehicle. While needed repairs aren’t much more likely than average to be severe, even common Audi repairs can be costly.

A prepaid maintenance plan helps cover scheduled Audi maintenance costs, but it will not cover unexpected breakdowns. If you want to prepay for part repairs, one way to do so is with a warranty. All new Audi vehicles come with a 4-year/50,000-mile warranty expires, customers must purchase an extended warranty if they want to continue protection.

An can be purchased from the dealership, which lengthens bumper-to-bumper coverage up to 10 years and 120,000 miles. Drivers might also consider purchasing an extended warranty from an independent company. Third-party extended warranties offer a number of benefits over a manufacturer’s extended warranty.
