Audi A1 supermini from 13,145

The new Audi A1 supermini is available to order from today, with prices starting at £13,145.

That buys an 85bhp 1.2 TFSI SE, while a 120bhp 1.4 TFSI S line, with a seven-speed, twin-clutch automatic gearbox, is the most expensive version at £18,280.

All models come with alloy wheels, remote central locking, air-conditioning, electric front windows and mirrors, and a six-speaker CD stereo that can connect to your MP3-player.

Sport and S line options
Sport models include bigger wheels, sport suspension and seats, Bluetooth connectivity and a driver's information system. S line cars have even larger wheels and sportier suspension, leather and cloth upholstery and exterior detailing including a roof spoiler.

Besides the 1.2 and 1.4-litre petrol engines there is also a 104bhp 1.6-litre diesel. All emit less than 120g/km of CO2, so will cost 30 a year in VED and are also tax-efficient as company cars.

The first deliveries are likely to begin in October.
