Audi has announced a raft of revisions to the A1 range, including the addition of a new, 1.0-litre petrol engine, which takes over as the entry-level powertrain.

Offered with either SE or Sport trim, the 94bhp TFSI unit is the replacement for the old 88bhp 1.2 offered in the A1 since its launch in 2010. Returning 67.3mpg and emitting just 97g of CO2 per kilometre when mated to the standard manual gearbox, the engine is exempt from road tax but it can still take the smallest Audi from 0-62mph in 10.9 seconds and on to a 116mph top speed.

Thanks to the new engine, basic, three-door A1 SEs now start from £14,315, and for that you’ll get 15in alloy wheels, air conditioning, DAB digital radio and a 6.5in infotainment screen.

Upgrading to the Sport adds 16in alloys, sports seats, Bluetooth connectivity and a revised sports suspension setup, which has been tweaked to make it more compliant.

As you’d expect from Audi, the options list is extensive and includes a painted roof, privacy glass and a gloss black styling pack, which applies a dark finish to the grille and side air intakes. Customers can also specify a panoramic sunroof, parking sensors and satellite navigation.

The 1.0-litre A1 is available to order now with first deliveries expected in the summer.
