The new Audi A1 Sportback, which will go on-sale in 2012, is a five-door version of the compact 3-door A1. Buyers in Europe will be able to choose between three TFSI gasoline and three TDI diesel four-cylinder direct-injection engines producing between 63 kW (86 hp) and 136 kW (185 hp). Audi pairs some engines with the seven-speed S tronic transmission.
All the engines follow the downsizing principle of substituting forced induction for displacement. All versions except the 1.6 TDI with S tronic and the most powerful gasoline engine are equipped with a start-stop system.
