A1 Sportback Car Leasing & Contract Hire

Prices to lease the Audi A1 Sportback start from £227.63 per month with Nationwide Vehicle Contracts.

The Audi A1 Sportback is a good lease choice if you want an adaptable hatchback. It’s compact and easy to drive but also features some premium materials and good technology.

Because of its compact dimensions, it could act as a nippy city car, or, with one of the more powerful engines, a good companion to the family. 

The A1 Sportback is a compact five-seat hatchback, so it could be used as a family lease car if needed. Despite its small dimensions, the A1 Sportback provides a good amount of space in the front and back, with ample head and leg room.

The technology on board the A1 Sportback would also suit the needs of the family. A great infotainment system comes as standard, as well as driver assistance systems, safety technology, and voice control.

The A1 Sportback has a boot space of 335 litres, which can be extended to 1,090, with the rear seats folded 60:40.

The Audi A1 Sportback has a range of petrol engines available. The range kicks off with the 1.0-litre 25 TFSI, which has 94hp and would serve you well around town.

The mid-range option is the 30 TFSI version with 108bhp, which can achieve 0-62mph in a respectable 9.1sec. If you want total performance, the most powerful engine is the 1.5-litre 35 TFSI which returns 0-62mph in just 7.7 seconds.

The A1 Sportback would be a good choice for a first car for a young driver. It’s well-built, has a good range of economical petrol engines, and comes standard with a good range of equipment.

However, it’s a bit more expensive than some of your more typical first cars and sits between insurance groups 16 to 38, so make sure you’ve saved up the pennies and can afford the monthly payments. 

Parking sensors come as standard on the Audi A1 Sportback from the Sport trim and above, so it'll be worth upgrading if you're concerned about your surroundings when parking.
