In terms of technology and design, the 4.04-meter-long Audi A1 Citycarver is based on the A1 Sportback, but its sturdy brother has a good four centimeters more ground clearance. This should make it easier to get in and provides a better overview.
An increase of 35 millimeters comes from the new suspension with raised trim level. The rest is contributed by the larger wheels from 16 inches in diameter compared with the A1 Sportback.
Appearance in rugged off-road look
The large single frame in octagon design is reminiscent of Audi's Q models. A strongly three-dimensional honeycomb grille in matte black paint serves as the insert. In contrast to the A1 Sportback, there are two characteristic slots above the grille. An underride guard in stainless steel paint hints at the A1 Citycarver's off-road capabilities. The wheel arches and side sills feature add-on parts in a contrasting color. The redesigned rear bumper is based on the robust look of the front.
Mint, copper, orange or silver gray
In the cockpit, the standard digital instrument cluster forms a compact unit with the air vents. The accent surfaces on the air vents, on the center tunnel console and on the doors are painted in mint, copper, orange or silver gray. The S line trim additionally offers the shade textured gray. In addition, there is the basic Advanced and Design Selection equipment.
