Audi has decided to bring its small car to India. Audi A1 is based on its parent firm's car Volkswagen Polo and is to be shorter than the Audi A3, but will have more length, width and height than the Mini Cooper.
Initially, Audi is reported to launch the compact car in four variants, viz 1.2L TFSI, 1.4L TFSI, 2.0 TDI and 1.6L TDI engine. The first two are petrol and last two are diesel engine. All the power-plants are smaller, turbocharged and have direct fuel injection system. The base petrol engine, 1.2 L TFSI is capable enough to produce 63 Kw of peak power while generates top torque of 160 Nm at 1500-3,500 rpm. The higher end petrol variant of the Audi A1 is powered by a 1.4L TFSI, four cylinder engine which easily pumps out 90 kW of maximum power and 200 Nm of peak torque at 1,500-4,000 rpm. The variant is to be loaded with standard six-speed manual transmission. The diesel variant of Audi A1 might be loaded with 1.6 TDI 16 valve engine that develops 77 kW of peak power and 250 Nm of top torque at 1500-2500 rpm. The variant is loaded with a five-speed manual transmission. There is a bit confusion for the second diesel engine. Some sources report that it will be a 2.0L TDI engine or others say that it will be another 1.6L TDI engine which is to produce more power.
