SPACE AND PRACTICALITY

Measuring 4.03 metres in length, 1.74m in width, and 1.41m in height, with the boot at around 335 litres with the rear seats in place, the new A1 is roomier than its predecessor. It’s also around 50kg heavier, depending on the model, but you can’t really feel this extra weight when driving it. As a compact family runabout, it can work well, because it’s only available with rear doors now, and there’s no straining to get in and out of the back seat. Rear legroom and knee room has improved, too, so you can actually transport adults in the back.
