It is a silky smooth car to drive and there is no denying its handsome looks.

The recently launched A1 Sportback successfully maintains the attractiveness of the original A1 but has added two more doors, making it more practical for non-DINKs. The partnering of the 1.6-litre diesel and the seven-speed S-tronic transmission is a lovely match, and you never seem to be lacking any pick-up when you need it most.

On the same route through the city the A1 achieved its 4.2-litre figure.

Audi is committed to creating efficient motoring across their entire product range and their blueprint of the future looks at taking the highly efficient combustion engines through to hybrid technology as a stepping 4.7-litres 100km stone to ultimately full electric drive cars represented in every model segment by 2020.

‘‘The GreenZone Drive event runs for four days and gives the people of southeast Queensland easy access to a wide variety of the very latest green technology vehicles,’’ says Henry O’Clery of Future Climate Australia.

‘‘The event is aimed at showing quite clearly that for many drivers a lowemission vehicle can actually help to reduce their travelling costs, while a zero-emission vehicle can fit into an urban lifestyle with ease.’’

The advanced technology vehicles will be available to drive around the specifically planned drive route, which departs from, and returns to, the RACV Royal Pines resort.

Bookings are available GreenZoneDrive.com.au. Electric
