Audi A1 Lease
Upgraded in 2020, an Audi A1 lease means you’ll enjoy some of the cleanest modern engines and market-leading technology on the market. This might be the smallest car in the Audi range, but you still get all the kudos associated with this historic German brand.
Read moreGuaranteeing you running costs that won't burn a hole in your pocket, while still putting you at the wheel of a plush and handsomely designed car, the Audi A1 is the perfect answer for your upmarket hatchback needs.
What’s perhaps most impressive about leasing an A1 is the amount of equipment it boasts as standard - including LED headlights, a 8.8 infotainment touchscreen, lane departure warning and speed limiter, as well as Audi’s ‘Pre-Sense Front with pedestrian and cyclist recognition’ system, which uses radars to warn you of impending danger.
There’s no hybrid option just yet, but there is a great range of petrol engines, which includes a punchy 1.0 litre mill capable of returning 50 miles to the gallon while emitting a tax-friendly 107 g/km of CO2.
The A1 is, then, a smaller sibling of the popular A3 yet still a worthy adversary of cars like the MINI, Volkswagen Golf or the DS 3 Crossback.

About the Audi A1 Sportback
The Audi A1 was unveiled to the world in 2010, going on sale in the UK later that year as a three-door version, with the five-door version, known as the Sportback, arriving in showrooms around a year later.
Currently, only the Sportback model is being offered.
The vehicle is good-looking, has familiar Audi styling, and handles very well, as you'd expect, with a comfortable ride and excellent performance.
It is also well-equipped as standard, although there are plenty of optional extras that you can add if you want to.
And not only that, but it also feels quiet and refined. But thanks to its impressive performance, it's a tremendous around-town runabout that's fun to drive, packs plenty of personality and zips in and out of traffic in city centres.
Why lease an Audi A1 Sportback?
The Audi A1 Sportback is a top little car that lets you get your hands on a premium German vehicle for a comparatively small monthly leasing fee.
Not only that, but it also means you're getting a level of quality that's a step up from most other motors in the supermini market.
Yes, there are some great rivals to the A1 Sportback, but none of them is an Audi, while its more traditional competitors of BMW and Mercedes-Benz don't offer anything in their ranges that compete directly with it.
Its small size makes it very agile, so it's suitable for those who enjoy driving and need to get the most out of a hatchback that handles keenly.
There is also a respectable amount of choice regarding trims and engines to suit all needs and budgets.

Audi A1 Frequently Asked Questions
The Audi A1 Sportback is an excellent way of getting your hands on a premium vehicle without feeling like you're paying a premium price. It is a fantastic car that feels like any other Audi – it has a nice interior, good looks, is well-built, it’s excellent to drive, and has well-refined range of engines.
While the A1’s power won't have you feeling like you're driving a hot hatchback, the engines are impressive, economical, and quiet - suited to the comfortable ride of this small car. Despite its lack of size, it's also surprisingly practical, boasting remarkable interior space. In addition, the Audi A1 Sportback comes well-equipped and has the latest safety systems to keep you well-protected.
The A1 Sportback comes with various trim levels and engine choices, so your selection will have a bearing on the monthly cost of leasing your Audi. However, thanks to our close relationships with manufacturers, we're positioned to keep our prices as low as possible. This means we could offer an entry-level Audi A1 Sportback for around as little as £240 a month.
Leasing an Audi A1 Sportback means you can enjoy the creature comforts of one of the biggest names in the business at a knock-down price. It offers a taste of superior handling and interior luxury at an affordable monthly fee. The A1 Sportback comes very well-equipped, with all models getting alloy wheels that gradually get bigger as you go up the range.
In addition, all models get dynamic 'moving' indicators, an impressive infotainment system housed in an 8.8-inch screen and a fully digital instrument display thanks to the 10.25-inch digital cockpit. Voice control is also included, along with a DAB radio. All other grades get selectable driving modes and lumbar support, with sports suspension, a sports steering wheel, steel pedals and paddle shifters behind the steering wheel are also available on some.
Yes – and the A1 Sportback racked up some impressive scores to back it up with. It was extensively tested by the crash safety body Euro NCAP in 2010, earning a five-star rating but, most impressively, it scored 95% for adult occupants. Safety equipment includes automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, pre-sense collision warning, hill-hold assist, and a speed limiter. Meanwhile, the Sport trim and above get cruise control and rear parking sensors. Of course, in terms of practicality, small cars will never be able to offer massive amounts of space. Still, the Audi A1 does well, given its tiny proportions, and there are far worse cars on the market when it comes to roominess. Furthermore, the boot isn't an inadequate size when you consider the hatchback’s stature.
Four trims are offered on the Audi A1 Sportback. The entry-level Technik has 15-inch alloy wheels, dynamic suspension, LED lights including dynamic indicators, automatically folding door mirrors, an 8.8-inch infotainment touchscreen with digital radio and voice control, plus a 10.25-inch digital cockpit display. In contrast, the Sport trim has some athletic styling touches, bigger wheels and selectable driving modes, and manually adjustable lumbar support. The S Line gets even larger wheels plus sports suspension, part leatherette upholstery, a leather sports steering wheel, metal pedals and a lighting pack.
